    My electrician used wago's for my light fixture in the bathroom. It was soooo easy for me to remove, repaint it and put it back. I was happy.

    Wago's? Those aren't Wago's, they're IDEAL brand push-in connectors and Wago makes push-ins also. Yeah, I know "Wago's" are now commonly used generically like Romex or Kleenex. I think most people are referring to the more common Wago 221 series lever nuts. They are much nicer to use. They come in 2, 3, and 5 port varieties. I would not put more than 5 wires under a wire nut anyway. They have a splicing connector (one port on each end, 221-2401) which is great for extending short wires like you guys mentioned. Like you, I prefer wire nuts, but Wago's may be a better option for diy'ers and some electricians use them. It takes experience to use wire nuts correctly.

      Glad you said it. I took one look at those and was like "those aren't WAGOs. Where's the lever nut?"

    Don’t you think adding electrical tape around the wire & the WAGO connection would add strain relief? Strain relief is used in almost all related fields like Aviation Electronics. It keeps the wires where they’re supposed to be even if there is a bad connection at the connector.
    Too bad you can’t get Cannon Plugs at Home Depot. It would make wiring a house a piece of cake.

    Polecam poszukać w necie, a nie pitolić że nie ma znaczenia ile odizolujesz drut. To ma dojść do końca, jak nie dojdzie to znaczy że trzeba poprawić. Te złączki bez dziwgienki są szczególnie wrażliwe na za krótkie druty. Lubią same się wypiąć, więc to dowód że styl jest slaby

    Yeah, I only use wagos the same way Wade mentioned, but I prefer wirenuts, hands down.

      Me too but enough people have asked about them, felt like i should at least give some tips and tricks about using them.

      @@joshlevin372 I am not looking for attention dude. I never post anything about my trade. I don't like long winded rambling coming from a squid. WAGO is a brand name. It may be a word like FREON that people use to describe a product when the correct term is refrigerant. Freon is a brand name. Not everybody, especially young people, have ever heard the word Freon. WAGO is famous for Lever Lock connectors. They make push in connectors, but that's not what people think of when they hear WAGO. Most searches will not even produce the push in type connectors made by WAGO. You will sea lot of Lever Lock connectors. So you are not even using the "slang" WAGO correctly and these are supposed to be tutorials. You are supposed to assume your viewers are brand new to any kind of electrical talk and use the correct terms. Otherwise you sound like a meat head "face" of the video, but not be taken seriously as a wireman. You are a UA-camr content creator more than anything. A studio actor. That's all I see.

      @@joshlevin372 Scab on Roids. Bahahah....I would fire anyone making videos at work. We are not here to teach the Goober and Cletus how to wire a building. And we know the difference between a WAGO and a push in connector or a lever lock connector. If I owned WAGO I would sue you for using Ideal connectors and calling them WAGO. Typical steroid peewee scab talking garbage on video he knows nothing about. Your boyfriend must be proud.

      ​@@joshlevin372just to add context. No wagos were shown in this video. Hence the troll type comments.
