i dont like the idea of them. i guess im old fashioned but when i do electrical work i never use the quick connects, i always make a loop and use the screw terminal.

I'd hesitate to use them on anything of mine. doesn't look easy to remove and reinsert and what about stranded wires? On my house, I've had 2 of my 115v duplex outlets loose connection on those press in connections. Not my original work and they did last decades but still a pain to find.

These are actually pretty good substitutes for "wire nuts," with two caveats: 1) they take up more volume; and, 2) they can't be easily disconnected, i.e., you should consider them "permanent," unlike wire nuts that can be unscrewed. I use them mostly in running cable through a series (actually it's a parallel circuit) of recessed ceiling lamps. The bulkier nature of these connectors is actually compensated by the fact that you don't need to run a "pigtail." The only question I have regards the "ampacity" of the copper clips in this device. It may not be beefy enough to handle high loads...but I don't worry about that for lighting circuits.

Something like them came with some outlet strips I installed, they were a huge hassle, but nothing else would fit inside. Next time I'll put a box at the end of the strip so I can use good old-fashioned wire nuts that can be disconnected!
