Review on Gardner Bender PEC 31525 Polyethylene Assembly Line by Will Ridpath

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good quality for electrical appliances

These are high quality connectors for contract use. Much better than most others I've used. The included screws are of the same quality and drill through wood with ease. A couple of recommendations: For stucco work, you should buy stucco screws and not use the ones that come in the kit. Also, if you're going to use them outdoors, I recommend painting over the fasteners so they and the wires stay in the elements longer (although this creates a mess if you need to rewire the area later). I do NOT recommend using metal fasteners on the outside. Even decent ones aren't made of good quality stainless steel and will start to rust very soon (marine grade fasteners will do the job just fine, but they cost a fortune). Finally, I warn you against buying "regular" fasteners that look like this but are cheaper. They are much less durable. I even had a click after a week in the sun.

Pros
  • tools and equipment
Cons
  • wrinkled packaging
