60 pcs XHF Colourful Conductor Compact Connectors Lever Connectors Nuts, Electrical Connectors Wire Terminals for Any Circuit Inline Splices 28-12 AWG (SPL-1)

good

Connection is solid but I ended up having 6 of the levers fail on the first time (snapped while opening) out of the 240 units I purchased for a 2.5% failure rate.Updated rating: the seller reached out to me and apologized for the lever issue and offered a refund (this was without me contacting the seller). It is nice to see a seller stand behind their product and I do realize that occasional defects can occur. I was not asked to update my review, but thought I should so that others know that this seller does stand behind their product - which to me is important for future business. I added a star to my original review to reflect this.

Work quickly and easily. Makes wiring a breeze

Review for XHF Compact Lever Connectors/ NutsI opted for the multi-color kit. I'm always having to mock up a test circuit or temporary circuit, and the various colors make it easy to track. I like that these splice blocks can be coupled together to make a neat row if desired. I've got a smaller set of clear ones from a different manufacturer, and I do like that feature for ensuring that the wire is seated all the way down into the clamping range. There is a strip-length gauge on the bottom. (The recessed notch is the strip length.) Even with 12 gauge wire, it's pretty simple to see far enough into the insertion hole to be certain you're inserted far enough. I didn't have any 28 gauge wire to test with these (the lower end of the range specified in the title), but they clamp firmly on 22 gauge to 12 gauge. I was somewhat worried because the small markings on the bottom seem to indicate a wire gauge range from around 24 gauge to 13 gauge, (given in European mm2 sizes) but the larger 12 AWG had no issues. I do see a CE (European) certification mark on these, but no evidence of a UL mark-- so use your own judgement about the wisdom of using these as permanent household wiring.I do a lot of work testing audio electronics, both for fun & work: seems like I'm always having to mock up a test circuit, or some temporary wiring. I have an entire box full of 5' cables with varying terminations on each end, and it still seems like I don't have, or can't find, the one I need. I'm going to reduce my bulk by just building these test cables as (X) connector to bare wire, and then splice to the other end I need.

For anyone who has struggled with traditional wire nuts, these lever connectors will be a welcome change. The installation process is straightforward: simply open the lever, insert the stripped wire, and close the lever.These connectors are versatile enough to handle a variety of wire types and sizes which is detailed in the product specifications. This makes them suitable for various applications, from home wiring projects to more complex circuits in a commercial setting.The fact that I can prototype and test systems and disconnect to perform installation is a welcome change to my build process.

About half way through the set and all in all great product… found a few bad connectors but that’s semi expected. Super easy to use and speed up the process tremendously. Size and quick installation make them a massive help

If you need to do a couple connections and it's a situation where you can't solder and don't have any other tools available, these are just the ticket, completely tooless.

I've wanted to try these lever connectors for a while now and I was not disappointed. Depending on your use case this may not be the most efficient (outdoors or tight spaces) but is certainly a time saver and convenient to use. I've only used these connectors with 16 awg cable and the connections made are solid and stable, no issues with cable movement or poor connectivity! Nice product.
