IDEAL Electrical Twister PRO (30-144) Red/Tan Wire Connector, Box of 50 — Smooth Twist-On Wire Nuts for 22 to 8 AWG with SureGrip Comfort Overmold

Antes usaba 3m, y desde que encontré los wire nut Ideal, es lo que uso para mis proyectos.

I was hanging a light recently and didn't have the right color/size connector, so when I saw these it was a no-brainer. This size covers most types of DC and AC wiring I do, from 22-12 gauge.My son is a union electrician and he recommended these Ideal nuts over others because he uses the next larger size regularly.He also told me a great way (see photo) to more easily twist these nuts... a socket! This size Ideal nut fits perfectly into a 12mm metric socket. They also fit into a 1/2" socket, but 12mm is a more snug fit. The standard 12mm socket worked, but the deep well 12mm was perfect, as the nut sort-of clicks into it and stays in place. I found a spare 12mm 1/4" drive deep socket and bought a 1/4" socket to 1/4" hex drive adapter (Dewalt DW2541) for a couple bucks. Now when I need to screw on wire nuts, I simply put the end of the hex drive socket into my hex screwdriver (or drill).Safety Note: Obviously, turn off the power first and use a plastic handled screwdriver to insulate yourself from the metal socket and driver shaft just in case. This isn't an issue with the Klein hex driver I use.These are great quality, super versatile wire nuts!!

I absolutely love this product. I’ve long felt like the Ideal Twister Pro connectors are the best in the industry, but the red/yellows were often a bit large and the blue/orange connectors were often a bit small. These new yellow/tan connectors perfectly fill that gap.

I recently used one of these nuts on a wiring project. It was used on two #12 wires. I was concerned because the wires didn't twist together much in the nut. Like experts say they should. Still after getting the nut screwed down I could not pull the wires loose from the nut. These are my new favorite wire nuts and will gladly pay a little more for them.

These are genuine IDEAL large wirenuts. They are really good quality and the little part inside doesn't come out like the cheaper ones. I highly recommend them for larger wires (maybe 12awg +)

Easier to use than traditional caps for heavy solid wire.

Nice size holds great but no wings to tighten with - if you use a couple - great - if you are doing a large project cannot use a common nut tightener

Decent quantity.
