    • Wagos are a great, replaceable and affordable way to connect wires

    • still use wire nuts bc it makes the happy go zoom when I twist the wires correctly.

      My increasingly arthritic fingers make the “why are you doing this to us over and over?!” sound as I attempt to twist stubborn Romex 12/2 wires together.

        Not to say you shouldn’t use wagos because I do, but even elechickens use a pair lineman pliers to twist all the wires correctly before installing the wire nut.

          I was generalizing. But I use my fingers to both hold the wires in one hand, and manipulate the pliers in the other. I can’t avoid using fingers. It’s a personal failing.
