Be gentle, my first deal posted.

Was at the local Home Depot in SoCal looking for wire connectors. Oddly, there were some in aisle 15, but the website said aisle 13. There were a bunch more there. So they have these in two different locations in the store. (Maybe different types of wire connectors?)

Anyway, these are similar to the Wago, these are In Sure and they had 10 packs of the 2 port, 3 port, and 5 port with yellow tags.
In-sure 2 pt lever wire conn, 10/bag $1.93 was $7.48
In-sure 3 pt lever wire conn, 10/bag $2.23 was $8.46
In-sure 5 pt lever wire conn, 10/bag $2.83 was $10.98

I did not check brickseek, but the HD website does not show them on sale.
Oh, the yellow label had a date of 11/27/23, not sure what that date is for.

Comparison of Wago and In-Sure along with wirenuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hsMTklDgd0

Summary: the In-Sure actually has a little more resistance than Wago, but a little better hold on the wire.
Mixing stranded and solid does indeed seem to be one of the "killer applications" that comes up particularly with some lamp fixtures and quite often with ceiling fans. I'm aware of tips/techniques for mixing stranded and solid when using wire nuts (generally trying to make sure the stranded makes it into the spring by "leading" the solid) but this option is so simple and should leave little worry about technique.

Anyone bumping into aluminum branch circuit wiring should skip the IDEAL purple wirenuts hanging nearby these lever connectors and pick up some AlumiConn connectors (also, fortunately, in the same section at HD). The bad news is that you're going to have to make a one-time purchase of a torque screwdriver (usually in the range of $30-60). The good news is that you'll sleep easy about your aluminum wiring connections. Though not as simple as these IDEAL lever connectors, the connections using an AlumiConn are similarly satisfying vs. the unknowns of what's under a wire nut (and completely avoid the insomnia you might develop around galvanic corrosion [wikipedia.org]).

Good luck!
Jon
I certainly hadn't realized IDEAL was making lever connectors (I was more familiar with their push-in poroduct... which I typically ignore). These are indeed probably a nice buy.

To be fair, IDEAL makes a lot of things at Home Depot, plenty of which don't even carry the IDEAL branding. They were the ones actually making the light bulbs Home Depot sold under Cree branding.

Good luck!
Jon

Just 1? Why get one when you can get 10 for 10 times the price?

Lever nuts are only good till their internal parts oxidize. Most DO NOT have copper internals. Check the back of the bags. You've been warned!

I had to use one for the ground wires in a plastic box, only had four ground conductors but they don't make a four port version.

Quote from Core2Quad :
I've used both, the in-sure also have less chance of opening up by accident. The levers also feel more secure, like the Wago's levers close so easily you wonder if they are working or not. These you actually feel some force when they close. I think i prefer these.
I've only ever used Wago, and their levers are a lot like a breaker where there's an in-between position that isn't on or off. I've had Wago's pop off, but only because the lever wasn't pressed fully down. Once I started paying more attention to be sure the lever is down and wire is held securely, I haven't had any issues.

I use these in my home and the only spot I ever go above 3 or so is for grounds.

Quote from charredangel :
My big concern with these type of connectors is they are a lot of plastic and seem to be a different type of plastic from wire nuts. Will this plastic get brittle in the next 50 years? I'm assuming they have picked the right type but once it's in the wall, it's there for the life of the house.
Any kind wire connector should be in an electrical box of some kind and never just behind a wall.

These are really neat, the one thing I would urge caution around is using them in an attic or any space that gets extremely hot/cold I had electricians use these and they just about all cracked ( enough to let the wire back out which killed the entire series of lights ) over a 2 year period.

After going in the attic the 4th time I just replaced the rest of them with the traditional twist on types and they have held for years and years. All of the ones they used inside the addition have held up fine.

I went to my nearby Home Depot today and these rang up at full price, so I put them back.

Brickseek was correct that my store had exactly two each of the 2x and 5x, and Brickseek says they are on clearance, but they rang up at full price.

It's a newer store that just opened in the last year. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, or if this is a regional clearance.
