Gardner Bender GIDDS-600051 WingGard Ultra Winged, Yellow, 84 500/Bag Wire Connector, 500 Pack, 500 Count

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.

They are yellow and they hold wires together. I'm a big man the container is small. Unless I pour them out for me to use, I've have to get creative with my fingers to pinch one out. At this point, the bottle is waist and it's another way to send less for the price. They are better of selling in a bag. But my star review reflects what thew were interested for. 5*

High quality product, great price, fast shipping

Good quality.Fast shipping.

These are working well for me but are not as robust in construction as some I have used.

I have used a lot of these and have found some are difficult to get on and stay on the wires, these were not. I used them to attach stranded core and solid core wire together on my fifthwheel.

Works as intended

Not much to say but that the wire nuts work well.

facile a utiliser et bonne qualité

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!

Red nuts are good for your larger wires.

Ok
