Review on Leviton CR20-E 20-Amp Commercial Grade Narrow Body Duplex Receptacle - Black: Self Grounding & Straight Blade by James Kelley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used with extension box

I used this box as a short extension box, I bought it as it was very affordable and durable. I only plan on using it for short periods of time for currents less than 15A since the gauge I used was 4ft of 14AWG. I used a cell phone box and a cell phone box plate for this. The socket is self-grounding so you don't need to ground the pigtail to the box and socket. The yoke/tape and ground pin socket are basically connected. I checked that with my multimeter. Brass wipers hold the blades firmly, but not in a chokehold. It's side wire only, so no back stitch, thank goodness. It also doesn't mean a screw terminal like the BR20 has, unfortunately, but that's okay. Overall it was excellent value for money. I am always very satisfied with the quality of Leviton. I suspect it was cheaper since 20A stock moves slower than 15A stock (CR15 is worth a few bucks more due to greater demand). But make no mistake, the price is insanely good for the quality and construction of this particular tank. Bought it in August 2020 for $2.37, wow the price is high now!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
