Wire nuts, lever nuts, push-in connectors, screw terminals… electricians argue about them all. But do you really know when each wiring method is the best choice for your terminations? ⚡ Electricians love to debate 🧠 especially when it comes to how we terminate wires. But here’s the thing: it’s not about which method is “best.” It’s about knowing what’s out there and understanding when each connection type shines… and when it doesn’t. 💡 In this video, we’re digging into the real-world pros and cons of terminations: 👉 Pre-twist or no twist? 👉 Wire nuts, stab-ins, Polaris taps, lever nuts, and more... 👉 Is faster always better? 👉 What’s actually secure and what just feels secure? If you’ve only used one method your whole career, you might be missing out on smarter, safer, and faster options. This is not about switching sides. It is about expanding your knowledge so you can work with more confidence and fewer callbacks. 🎯 Sponsored by WAGO Huge thanks to WAGO for supporting this episode and sending out their 221 Series Lever-Nuts.
