These are fantastic and while more expensive than twist nuts, the ease and speed with which they let me work made them 100% worth it. Thanks for the share.
As just a DIYER this box will probably last me a life time.

Any kit with more 3 and 5 slot wago is what you want. The 2 slots are cheaper and tend to be the most numerous in a lot but the least useful.
Sometimes you can get these for 33 or 25 cents on a great deal, or fleabay. Beware of the generic non-wago look alikes, and frankly counterfeits can be a concern. It's difficult because Wagos in the US are sold via repacking, Wago doesn't sell them directly.
There's also the Ideal US brand that makes their own, but those cost more even at retail home depot right next to the wagos. But they are blue so hmmm.

I grew up poor. Poor people are only "DIYer" in the sense that "it's that or don't have these basic things like electricity". So yeah I'm a DIYer who has rewired a house from the pole down because that's how being poor worked. We just used wire nuts because they were cheap and abundant.
Thankfully I'm not poor anymore so I can afford things like these connectors.

I used to work at a company making commercial light fixtures and used to use these WAGOs by the gallon ziplock bag. Great for connecting stranded and solid wire, especially if the gauges of the wire are different. For connecting 5 wires together, I especially would prefer these over a wire nut, since it's not easy to twist five 14 gauge wires together under a wire nut. Also, if you have aluminum wire that needs to connect to copper wire, these are a good option since you're not supposed to use wire nuts for those.
I am install a dozen of receptacles in my basement. I don't mind spending a few more bucks or a few more hours, but do want to choose the most robust and safe wiring methods wherever possible.
