Tried using Wago connectors on a commercial job and I'm never going back to wire nuts

Did a 200 amp panel swap last week in Seattle and used Wagos for everything. Saved me at least 30 minutes on that job alone. Anyone else switch and not look back?

Man, people really get worked up over wire connectors. I've used Wagos on plenty of jobs in colder climates and never had one crack on me. Are you running a vibration test on every joint you make? Wire nuts can fail too if you don't twist them right or pick the wrong size. I'm not saying Wagos are perfect for everything, but for a panel swap they're totally fine. The time savings add up when you're doing a hundred connections in a row.

Oh COME ON, you really think those plastic connectors hold up in a Seattle panel swap? I’ve seen them crack under vibration and get brittle in cold weather, while wire nuts give you a REAL solid connection every time. One fail on a 200 amp service and you’re chasing a call back that wipes out that 30 minute “savings” fast.
