Ideal Electrical in-Sure Lever Wire Connector, 12 AWG, 3-Port(30-10L23), Box of 100—Compact Releasable Connectors for Solid and Stranded Wires

These connectors are a unique and useful way to connect wires (especially by the novice DIY'r

Arrived quickly and works perfectly, some don't trust these but I've watched multiple videos online where they were tested far beyond their stated capacity and worked just fine

I grew up using the old wire nuts that my dad did. These are the perfect size for 2 wires. The levers make them easy to use. there are very few issues with quality in them. Simply put they function well

Needed something to replace wire nuts that were loose. This worked great and I could confirm fit before attaching to wall.

I feel these are more securely closed and less likely to be inadvertently opened versus the equivalent Wago connector. I'm giving them four stars though as I found it significantly harder to visually confirm that stranded 14 gauge wire was fully seated in the connector; solid wire did seem easier to see and confirm its seating. The Wago connectors have a big advantage on the visual confirmation part; I just find myself a bit less confident shoving Wago connections to the back of a junction box.

I got the jar of 500 (didn't believe the price either) and actually counted them where I got 509. I've been using them to make solid connections including as quick connects/disconnects to outlets and switches, as well as to extend wires with them instead of wire nuts. They work really well and are less destructive to wire ends than wire nuts or traditional push-in wire connectors. They also make it easy for temporary work or where it's just testing out if something works. I've been using them where I make a short length of wire from a switch/receptacle to the lever connector, and then insert the wire into the connector where it's easy to swap out the switch/receptacle. That made it easy to reuse both the switch/receptacle as well as the connection, where previously I would have probably ended up with a wire loop (from a wire or a pigtail) around a screw that couldn't be reused and had to be cut off and redone. The big competitor for Ideal's ln-Sure L2 is the WAGO 221. Those are more compact, but in my hand, the Ideal lever connectors feel more "substantial" while the WAGO 221 feels almost "delicate" in comparison. Those are the standard by which lever wire connectors are judged, but I think Ideal has a winner that has certain advantages like the lever opposite the wire ports, and the heft.

Love these !!!! My go to wire connector

I think this is better than wago. Feels way stronger grip and doesn't get accidentally knocked out of lock position. Will be using these from now on.

Vraiment très efficace pour un luminaire , plafonnier .

Ideal game changer connectors. Solid wire can be pushed in connectors without lifting level. Stranded wire you need to lift lever to insert wire. Lever on opposite side of wire less chance of flipping lever up when installing. Lever connection snap in place more secure. Look for my You Tube video : " Ideal Lever Connectors".

Not good for stranded wire. Stranded wire pulls out with normal force. Solid wire holds firm.

I have been using the non lever connectors for some time and they are great to work with. I must have gone through hundreds of them by now. The only time they aren't great is connections with stranded wire (led down lights). Those can be tough if you need to disconnect the wire, so enter these lever ones. However there have been several times now where the lever ones have had the wire pull out while I was working with other wires in a receptical. This is not good. I do not trust these lever ones like I do with the ones you stab in place. Those don't come apart. So I uses the lever ones for cases where I am making temporary connections but I remove them and use the traditional insure ones once I am ready toake permanent connections. I do not trust these lever ones.
