Blew a panel swap last month and it made me switch to Wago lever nuts for good

I was doing a 200 amp swap over on a ranch house outside Denton and kept fighting with wire nuts in a tight old Bryant panel. After 3 hours of twisting and taping, I had one neutral come loose during trim out and had to pull half the breakers again. My buddy handed me a box of Wago 221s the next day and I finished the same job in 2 hours flat with zero callbacks. Has anyone else had a similar moment that made them jump ship on wire nuts?

That "one neutral come loose during trim out" part hits close to home. I had basically the same thing happen with a kitchen remodel and swore off marrettes for anything over 20 amps after that.
