IDEAL Electrical Twister PRO (30-644J) Red/Tan Wire Connector, Jar of 500 — Smooth Twist-On Wire Nuts for 22 to 8 AWG with SureGrip Comfort Overmold

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 wire nuts are so much better than the usual ones. They are very secure and are easy to use.

Best wire nuts on the market buy yourself a jug or 2

These are very nice. Easy to get tight on the wires. I used them on 4 wire awg 12 and they worked great!

These are genuine IDEAL large wirenuts. They are really good quality and the little part inside doesn't come out like the cheaper ones. I highly recommend them for larger wires (maybe 12awg +)

These are a go to for our shop of electricians. This was a great price, but I was disappointed to not be able to order the smaller wire nuts in a larger container quantity. We go through these very fast and these small containers don’t last long. These twist on well every time, but always pre-twist wires. The protector sleeve is a great feature.

Great for tight boxes, like smoke detectors/
