Wagos vs Crimps vs junction boxes?

[Lumie]

Whats your thoughts on Wago's? Always preferred a JB or crimps myself. Wago's just don't seem right to me.

There a lot quicker but don't seem so secure.

Whats your guys thoughts?

wagos are the best invention since beer.

I think with that comment I will get a beer now and treat my fixing tray to some wagos tomorrow.

i use wagos as my first choice connector these days, but do still use the other options as and when it seems more appropriate.
I don't use keep the push fit wagos in stock, only the lever type as a lot of my work uses flex.

I like both the lever type and push ins for solid conductors, doing a JB in a loft for example is so much quicker and easier than the old screw terminal type.

I use wagos in light switches and that's about it. Traditional junction boxes and the hager mf junction boxes for jointing cables.

Not soon hopefully

Love wagos. Use them and the Hager mf jbs mainly. Not used a traditional olde fashioned jb in years. Using wagos with the line grenades is even quicker still.

Shame there's no 'missing apostrophe' button

Love Wagos also, haven't tried the slimmed down lever Model yet but I'll be getting those next. Don't like the push connectors for cpc connections.

No 1 Always preferred a JB or crimps myself.

No 2 Wago's just don't seem right to me.

No3 There a lot quicker but don't seem so secure.

Please excuse me altering your post layout
This should stir up some emotional replies



No 1 I always have and do still prefer crimps

No 2 Completely and utterly agree with you, all of a sudden,suspect and shoddy push fit connections have become widely accepted

No 3 The first part of the sentence is possibly the reason that the 2nd part is put aside

I hear what you are saying Des on point 2, and I have had that thought myself. My view is that the manufacturers have obviously gone through a lot of testing to bring their products to the market, and the powers that be have deemed them acceptable. Also there is a video of a Wago getting pumped with something like 100A. Eventually the plastic casing all burns/melts away with the metal spring contacts still holding the cable nicely. That video helped in reassuring me that Wagos are fit for purpose.

And yeah I agree there Leader, pushing the CPCs in can be a pain.
