Works best as described in Industrial Electrical

It's wirenut. Works, good price, durable. This worked fine with 12 and 14AWG wires though. I'm sure it will work for 10, but I wouldn't use 16 or less.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Volume

One wire cap to rule them all. And bind them in darkness.

What can you say about the right tool for the project. I needed these caps for Romex 14 and 12 gauge. With two 14s they work great. The same goes for four 12s. These are great connectors and they really twist the wire. This is a very versatile hat!

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Disappear

Wings facilitate installation and removal

Used for some heavy 6 gauge wire. They worked very well. The plugs stick to the cables and never slip out. I was able to take them off and put them back on with no problems. I've also used them on several smaller gauges of wire. He grabbed her and wouldn't let her go. The wings make it easy to attach and remove. They have never bent or cracked. I definitely recommend these connectors.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Wire nuts are not the best solution for thick wire

I bought these wire nuts to make a connection for an electric stove but they really weren't big enough for a thick wire on a stove. As a result, we got connectors that used terminal screws in an insulated housing to connect the wires.

Pros
  • Heavy duty
Cons
  • Damaged

Excellent wire nuts at a great price

These are the only wire nuts in their class that can actually connect two AWG 6 wires together. The wings on the nut also provide maximum grip and after use the whole Pocket my fingers don't hurt like everyone else. The plastic coating is also very good. It fits all of my cable connections from 14 to 6 with ease and amazing bite. Totally recommended!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

good connections - Industrial Electrical

Unlike the crimp connector, the wire nut requires no special tools and can be re-attached. I think the most important feature is the live spring that can expand around the wire bundle. This can make the connection more secure and provide a wider range of packet sizes. Two other good features of GB 10-086 are the long skirt (to prevent short circuits) and the square section of the spring wire (to hold the conductors more securely). 10-086 is red and contains everything from 2 #20. up to 4 #10s…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
