You need to stay with wagos because that’s to many wires under one wire nut. I see a lot of copper which is not good. Tape it up good.

Pretty typical American / Canadian wire connection ?

That’s todays find in a loft in South Yorkshire. Insulation resistance fault on upstairs lighting. Wago box and wagos getting fitted tomorrow

The apprentice forgot to bring the joint box on the day that was put in?

Looks like one of these gizmos was used on that joint

Believe it or not but I used wagos in a commercial garage that I’m working on and was impressed by how much quicker and easier to use. Very few wire nuts for me from now on

Rough as a badger's

Thankfully we don't see wire nuts often in the UK, those look like the ceramic ones that were moderately common 40+ years ago.

Careful, @Megawatt We’ll have you wiring ring final circuits and calling them live, neutral and earth instead of hot, neutral and ground.

WAGOs are just the first step toward the civilised UK industry.

Aren't Wagos German ?

Yeh, but we use them here.

I only just found out recently that DeWalt isn’t German…

American owned by Stanley Black & Decker.

Hilti & Makita are two of very few tool brands not owned by large corporations. Think possibly Fein is also wholly owned.
