I have those connectors, which I have been told are superior to wire nuts, so if I were sufficiently German, or anal, but I repeat myself, I should snip off the one time use connectors, and use the proper ones.

Wago seems to be a known brand, and I got generic ones.

Yea I have both in my toolbox. The lever ones you can reuse and I have them on several electric outlets. I think the others are locked in. You can probably use a pick tool to de-pin it and not lose any wire length. But if not, it will have to be cut.

Lever nuts are great; way better than the twist connectors. But they are bulkier and can be more annoying in some electrical boxes.

Gotta give it to the Europeans to standardize an overspecced (and admittedly better, but more expensive) wire connector, meanwhile the Americans are like "screw this cheap-to-produce metal cone on, just don't pull on it. YOLO"

@eriner @djsumdog @shaneohare @viking maybe pull on it a little bit, just once to say "it's not goin anywhere"
