Review on Wago Lever Nut 221 415 Conductor Connectors by Dan Sturm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally something that really works!

I've always tried using vampire ribbons on 12 gauge (low voltage) wire and it was very disappointing. The ones with the headlights aren't coming. The ones I bought at premium price don't work. I didn't have big enough wire nuts or I would have turned to them (4 wires 12 gauge with thick insulation). Then I discovered these lever nuts from WAGO. IMPRESSIVE! What a time saver. I was able to hook up a 4-way junction in minutes. Then, after testing, I put waterproof liquid tape all over the block (actually there are 2 of them). This is a low voltage (12V) cable. Even if it does get wet it's not a big problem but I wanted to keep the interior as corrosion free as possible. The headlights work - for the first time - without problems. No flickering, no dimming, no sudden loss of power. I watched them during a rainstorm and again no problem so the waterproofing probably worked. If I ever need a repair, I simply remove the old plug and plug in a new one – very simple. Much easier than trying to use vampire roosters that only bend on thick insulation.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
