Overpriced: IDC Electrical

This Gardner Bender Wire Nut Set is overpriced. I usually check what I buy, but this one eluded me. The only thing I didn't notice was the number of wire nuts in the pack, there are only 14. These are excellent wire nuts and I've used them to terminate smaller gauge wire for many years. I googled the exact same package on another site for $1.59. I saw the exact same bag at my local hardware store for $1.59.

Pros
  • IDC Electrical
Cons
  • Slightly Torn

Surface damage may indicate other problems

Wire Nuts came in an unopened Gardner Bender plastic wrapper. The bag looked worn like it had been bouncing around in a tool bag for months. The wire nuts inside had a whitish finish, damaged by either tons of impact or heat damage. I am returning the item because the wire nuts are clearly damaged and I cannot allow my customers and inspectors to question the quality of my shipments.

Pros
  • Industrial Electrical
Cons
  • Some minor issues

These are excellent for small to fairly large connection jobs. I got them to install a couple of Z-Wave switches to make them work with my wink hub. They were bought to clean the wiring in my bedroom two box. I had to tighten some connections and make it sturdier and they fit and they did exactly what I wanted and needed. The ones that came with the switch were too small. They have enough nuts for large, medium and small wires. Can't recommend them enough if you need to hook up some connections

Pros
  • Clamps
Cons
  • Unfashionable
