Wago Connectors?

[8yf13l0]

How many of you guys use wago clips and are they any good?

Is these considered as a professional consumeble products, or are they just a DIY gimmik?

I was doing some remmedial work on a new build recently and these things where everywhere you looked.
I had to remove a few in order to do my bit of remmedial work, had a little fiddle around with some of them but ended up getting fustrated with them and throwing them away. Just that I was thinking about buying a set of them and having another go with new ones, but if they are no good for anyone then I might not bother - Your input please??

Many thanks

Jamie

Best thing since every best thing that came before! I agree with all the previous positive posters. Re-used the push ins loads of times. Just unscrew them - Check the current ratings though it's less for non accessible connections.

I use the ideal branded ones and they're great to use and speed things up a bit. As said above buy an installer pack and try them.
Ideal also make "twisters" which came in handy when I did tenanted rewires although they are bulky it speeds up work.
There a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it!

No! Would you do that with chock blocks and wrap them in tape?? Wagos are just connectors, they still need a suitable enclosure!

You can use a Wagobox or Wagobox Lite (for lighting circuits), I use these all the time.

Also I've moved over to Ideal brand for some connections, they allow a higher current maintenance-free.

Also, I occasionally use the miniature version (2273 series), e.g. for lighting connections where space is very restricted (such as some wall lights).

I love the Wagos - use them all the time so much better then chocs.

I hate the Ideal Twisters with a passion - I just don't understand how they can be allowed.

I think the Yanks use them all the time and love them - but I have heard them cause fires in America but not sire how true that is!

they'll just need to amend their regs. get these connectors made out of metal or non-combustible material, or enclose them in steel cabinets.

Brought myself a installer pack from screwfix a while back after reading loads about em, Now think they are fab
Soooo much easier for making awkward connections in a small space!

As for them being untrustworthy ide say not, I pushed some cable into a push in one and yanked the hell out of it.
It wasnt budging for toffee!
But yes a gentle twisting and pulling motion will allow them to come out with ease
