HIGH-LEVERAGE WINGS: Engineered for twisting action with comfortable wings, reducing your hand strain. WIDEST WIRE RANGE: Handles #22 to #8 AWG wires — the widest range on the market for a tan connector.
I have worked as an electrician since 1976. I have used dozens of different types of "wire-nuts". These Ideal Twisters are easier to get wires aligned and snug with and grab more reliably than the earlier red and yellow products that they are replacing. The serrated exterior provides a better grip and creates less fatigue. I have used them for several years now on solid and stranded wiring and they are superior to the rest in my opinion. The only drawback I have observed is that the type of plastic used does not handle higher temperatures well. That part is not any better than the earlier versions.
