Gardner BenderGIDDS-630337 10-089 WingGard Twist, 14-6 AWG, Electrical Nut, 50 pk, Blue Wire Connector, 50 Pack, Count

Red nuts are good for your larger wires.

Estos conectores ahorran mucho tiempo y evitan el tedioso uso de cinta de aislar, los recomiendo ampliamente para instalaciones eléctricas.

Bought This on Amazon because no one in town had bulk Wing-Nut Marrets. I have used about 10 of them. They are way smaller then I have ever seen on the out side but there are the correct size on the inside (where the coil is). There strong and go on better then any marret I have every used. And the size make then much easier to fit in the electrical box where space is always a problem... The Photo doesn't to it justice so I took a better one! I will be buying more once I'm done with this pack!

I bought this for a specific purpose to correct a mistake that I discovered in a house that I bought. Apparently, the builder's electrician used the same wire nuts (red) everywhere, regardless of how many wires were coming in. The problem is, there were several points where 6 wires needed to be joined. The red nuts that were used are not rated for more than 4 12-guage wires. Evidently, the electrician tried to compensate for that by twisting the wires together with pliers or something, but the connection was still flaky, which resulted in some flickering lights and unreliable outlets. These Gardner Bender blue wire nuts fixed the problem completely! I took the old small red wire nuts off in every place where I saw more than 4 wires being joined, then put these on, twisted by hand with a pretty strong force until I was not able to twist anymore, then closed all the boxes and tested with an electrical tester. All the connections were solid - no more flickering lights or unreliable outlets. I definitely recommend blue Gardner Bender wire nuts in every place where 5 to 6 common household wires (12 AWG) need to be joined together. The nuts are quite large, so keep that in mind. Typically I envision them being needed for neutral connections, as all neutrals typically go together while the hots are wired to different switches.

Ok
