Wago 221's Do you like them and any alternatives ?

I like the small profile

ideal do some similar but i don't like them. very small levers.

Short answer - yes! The 5 way can be really handy if you find spaghetti junction with impossibly short wires behind a single socket.

I think I prefer the older type lever wagos but my usual wholesaler only stocks the newer 221 now so that’s what I use

i prefer the 221's. smaller, esp the 5 port.

Wago 221's have a higher current rating than the 222's, and can take larger conductors. Transparent so you can see everything is as it should be.

5 ways are ideal for neutrals behind multiple gang light switches

Wish they did a 4 sometimes though - maybe even back to back.....

I prefer the 221 due to the size etc, though they can be pricey.

The only downside is the need for special Wago boxes for them (or adapters to use existing ones)...

They now do bigger ones that take 1.5mm to 6mm, compared to the normal that are 0.5 to 4mm I think...
