Trouble to stuff all the wires back into the box. Wires capped are more flexible. These add a rigid square Lego sized box that doesn't like to be moved or bent in just any old ways.. that being said I still managed to stuff everything back into the box safely. And the hold is strong, I could just yank the wire out of the connection. 9/10 would recommend.. made the job extremely easy. Also if you're going to switch outlets the lever action ones are great you shove them in the back and close the levers to secure. They are different from the back Stab outlets.
I use them for adding smart switches to light switch junction boxes as trying to twist 4+ wires into one giant wire nut takes up way more space than the 5 port wago connector, which is flat and allows for better organization in the box plus easier changeouts later if desired.

very nice that I can pull the fans down and hook these up and not have to worry about shorts before I hang the next fan.
These and a nice pair of automatic wire strippers really just made the task enjoyable.
But even this same seller has lower unit cost if buying in bulk, here's 78pc for $0.47/unit (vs $0.57/unit for the 28-piece here, which is 21% more expensive):

also the cost obviously, wire nuts are a 1/4 of the price.

Automatic wire strippers have are set up to cut most sizes of wire. They work by squeezing the handles which pinches and cuts the insulation and stripes it away in one movement. They are great when they work. But sometimes they will cut into the metal and bit and jamb. You should be able to find them at most big box stores.

These are the exact ones I got and they are great. They are also wide enough to strip three wires at once

How often are you replacing fans!?!? I guess it depends how often you use it.
