I haven't purchased it, but here's a 50-piece kit for $20: https://www.amazon.com/Connectors...0CQ6Z84G9/.

full disclosure/weird story: I bought a different Wimitools connector kit that was prominently labeled "Wago", but that listing (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CQ6YVTLJ/) has since been scrubbed of all uses of the word "Wago". I contacted them and they confirmed that the connectors are Wagos (they said "we are just repackaging"), so I don't know why they removed the brand name from the listing. There is one review on that listing that claimed the connectors were not Wagos (based on a 3% size difference?), so perhaps they wanted to start a new listing and hope for better reviews. I can't tell a difference between the ones from that pack and other Wagos I've purchased from other sellers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd rather spend the extra than have it (in order of most to least likely):
1 - Fail and cause the field device to stop working, work intermittently, or damage the field device.
2 - Fail and trip a breaker.
3 - Fail and cause a fire.

I'm not going to say "knock-off or unlisted electrical connectors will cause your home to catch fire with near certainty" - but there is a chance.

With how aggressive insurers are becoming as they experience significant financial losses, installing unlisted (non UL/CE) hardware could become more risky than the cost savings when you consider the chance of a claim denial after State Farm buys your Amazon purchase history.

A thought like that previously would only come to somebody wearing a tinfoil hat, but with how quickly computing is moving there's no guessing where we'll end up.

I agree! Some things it's ok to get directly from China. Electrical items like this, even if half price, as a DIY'er, the difference is not worth it. I'm not building a whole house, just replacing things here and there. So, I'm ok spending a little extra for the peace of mind. As a DIY'er, these are fantastic - easy and a sure and safe connection.

Thanks for calling that out. I picked up 1 kit of each. My concern is whether or not they will be genuine Wago's, but both prices seem good and getting an assortment is great.

Here is a 25-piece kit for $13, but I'm getting the 50-piece kit above because I want the 221-2411 end-to-end nut

To followup on clones, there are great 221 clones that are no different on AliExpress. But regardless this is a great price.

What type of box enclosure are you guys using? I've been trying to find cheap ones to house the Romex and wago.

Ditto. Purchased the 78pc (also on sale now from Peppy). Very obvious it's repackaged wagos from bulk packs.

I think you might be inserting too far. If you catch the insulation on the edge, it will be loose.

I have been using these and they hold pretty hard once locked down.

Just make sure you strip the wire according to the specs for length.

Agreed, sounds like there might be some user error as I've never heard anyone talk poorly about Wago connectors having loose connections... maybe they were counterfeit?

Note these are 24-12 AWG. There's a version that does a more useful 20-10 AWG. The smallest wire you'll ever need to connect to in home electrical is 18AWG in some light fixtures; lower than at and you are in low voltage systems.

Wago says this:

What you really want are the 221-6xx connectors.
