IDEAL Electrical Twister ProFLEX Mini (30-343) Orange/Blue Wire Connector, Box of 100 — Compact Twist-On Wire Nuts for 22 to 12 AWG with Comfort SureGrip and Flexible Skirt

I was hanging a light recently and didn't have the right color/size connector, so when I saw these it was a no-brainer. This size covers most types of DC and AC wiring I do, from 22-12 gauge.My son is a union electrician and he recommended these Ideal nuts over others because he uses the next larger size regularly.He also told me a great way (see photo) to more easily twist these nuts... a socket! This size Ideal nut fits perfectly into a 12mm metric socket. They also fit into a 1/2" socket, but 12mm is a more snug fit. The standard 12mm socket worked, but the deep well 12mm was perfect, as the nut sort-of clicks into it and stays in place. I found a spare 12mm 1/4" drive deep socket and bought a 1/4" socket to 1/4" hex drive adapter (Dewalt DW2541) for a couple bucks. Now when I need to screw on wire nuts, I simply put the end of the hex drive socket into my hex screwdriver (or drill).Safety Note: Obviously, turn off the power first and use a plastic handled screwdriver to insulate yourself from the metal socket and driver shaft just in case. This isn't an issue with the Klein hex driver I use.These are great quality, super versatile wire nuts!!

These work MUCH better than a standard wire nut connector. They bite onto the wires extremely well and the connection they make feels secure. The skirt on the bottom gathers and holds the wires into the nut well. I used to tape my wire nuts, but with these it seems there may not be a reason to any longer.I've seen Electricians use these on the job a lot, now I know why. Grab a box, you won't regret it.

I can complain about a lot but not about these. They are comfortable to hand twist.

Better wire nuts than the typical hard plastic.

I recently used one of these nuts on a wiring project. It was used on two #12 wires. I was concerned because the wires didn't twist together much in the nut. Like experts say they should. Still after getting the nut screwed down I could not pull the wires loose from the nut. These are my new favorite wire nuts and will gladly pay a little more for them.

These wire nuts are easier to grip and cover the stripped copper wires better. The size is medium- for maybe 2 -14 gauge or 2 -12 gauge max.

Exceeded my expectations.

These are the best connectors on the market.
