Review on King Innovation 95015 AlumiConn Connector by Sean Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wires don't match, sockets don't match

I bought an expensive screwdriver and screwed the wires into the connector, but the maximum torque of 10 ftlbs is nowhere near what it takes, to prevent the wires from falling off when you insert the connectors into the box. A standard box isn't even big enough to put a GFCI on these connectors, let alone a dip switch or even a regular outlet. Pushing them in to complete the installation will require a hydraulic press or quantum wormhole to fit them in. Once you try it I guarantee these wires will pop right out of the box due to the low torque requirements and force required to push. him back. I'm very surprised at the high ratings given these limitations. I cut off 50 year old greased wire nuts and I wish I hadn't. The food threatens to go bad.

Pros
  • Wiring and connector
Cons
  • Only available in white
