Review on 3M Scotchlok Moisture Resistant Retardant by Shahed Cleveland

I am remodeling an outdoor light fixture and was looking for wiring connectors to retrofit some lights that were not removed and the wiring was not properly damaged. I found these 3M connectors and thought, Eureka! I have relatively good hand strength and trying to install 16 gauge wire (tried 2 different brands) required pliers, both hands and pretty much all the strength I could muster. It is not easy. The 18 gauge wire to the lamp fits very easily, but even if you are very careful and find that it is pinched (or appears to be pinched), most of the time it just pops out. After pinching the connector. Don't buy this. You will regret it.
