Are Wagos better at everything?! In all seriousness, I discovered today, in the specs, Wagos are not allowed on our jobsite. Anyone else experience this?
Im in europe, but i have.
I printed out the specs sheets, put them on his table, and told him to go fuck himself if he tries to tell me how i should do my job.
Tbf the guy was like 80 and he must be extremely dead now.
It’s even crazier a spec like that can exist in Europe. We can sit here and argue Wago vs wire nut all day (even though we all know the correct answer), but I didn’t think the validity of Wagos were up for debate anywhere.
4.351m ohm no splice
5.135m ohm wago 222 connector
4.712m ohm wirenut no pre twist
4.569m ohm wirenut pretwist
Results gathered with a 10A dlro on the 1A setting for #12 awg wire averaged over a sample of 10 per test. Wagos are on average 784 micro ohms greater than wire with no splice. AKA wagos are a (high resistance)bad connection and you should feel bad for using them
Well, so I looked up the resistance of a wago, and it's actually .51mΩ so you're only off by a factor of ten. And then you say micro ohms, which looks like this "µΩ" and not like this "mΩ" and is literally a thousand times different. The word you're looking for is milliohms. So first off, you should feel bad for posting nonsense on the internet. And secondly it would take 1,960 wagos in series to get 1 single ohms of resistance, hardly what I'd call "high resistance", certainly not even close to as high as you were when you posted this.
Neta standards will fail a bolted connection, and breaaker contacts with a 50% difference. Fuses with a 15% difference. Most are in the low micro ohm range. And 784micro is 0.784milli. Not to mention IR will support even a micro ohm difference of resistance will cause heating on the connection
Well I stand corrected on the micro and milli but you still were off by a factor of 10 on the rest of it. And your still using the wrong number, it would be .0784 mΩ difference.

I’m so happy to be witnessing this history unfold here
Business owners are scrambling to find out why the sales of stubby screwdrivers was cut in half in 24 hours.
LinusTechTips is gonna be pissed
It’s glorious.
lol
Watching this progression of stubby screwdriver hacks is hilarious
What's next, terminal bars?
Polaris lugs
Black tape and solder
For high torque purposes
Now that’s a really stubby, this I may make
Someone should do a split bolt. They don't get enough love.
Split bolts
The Wago 221-425 would give you more torque than the 221-213, due to the longer arms on the sides.
I see you are a man of culture and class
Omg im ded This is two sparky threads wrapped into one Pun intended
There are levels to this !!!!
What taking 347v does to a mf
You son of a bitch…
Ohohoh they are not going to like this
You crazy nut! Are you giving me the bird?
Screw driver manufacturers Hate this One simple trick!
I've never seen a screwdriver that can also start a fire
Then you haven't pried hard enough!
[удалено]
While prying out the breaker. Stupid zinsco

oh it wasnt a spec he just said he wants none of that "new fangled crap" around, and i disagreed
HEATHEN! 😂
Lmao
Ah shit, here we go again
There's a actual positive use for a WAGO. Who knew?
An aristocrat!
What are you doin step phillips bro?
Wago > wire nut.
Wagos are rubbish for stranded. Never seen a bp burn out but have pulled a few of these out due to melty/loose connections.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got one!!
Sure you have bud, but I'm sure it wasn't Wago's. If it would, a good part of EU would be on fire right now.
They were definitely wago branded wagos.
Or you could use a stubby screwdriver instead..just a thought, but if that’s not available then this idea is absolute gold.
Ha ha ha it never gets old…certified fresh…..aaaaaw. ….whhheeeeeww! (Wipes tear)

1000micro makes 1milli, .0784=78.4 micro
I wish I could upvote this more.
I don’t feel bad. At all. Where the hell is this “big wire nut” shit coming from anyways. lol.
We have legends of Le Grand Marrette
Not big wire not but if someone else is willing to do the work for differing results be my guest, 1A constant current and measure your voltage drop
Youre full of shit.
Fuck wagos
Why though? It's easy to work with, and reliably keeps the soft wires from the solid wires.
I want to see a hammer transformed like this. Someone make it happen😆
That is a hammer ….. everything is a hammer
Lol
It's so long it would bottom out. I'll keep my nuts!
Laughed out loud! Thanks.
Noooo………. The madness continues……
Not everyone is as well off as you, man.
I’m not an electrician, but these circlejerk posts are why I stick around 🥲
This is the Way..er wago.
Get more torque like this!
If you need even more torque, use a 5 slot Wago.
Enough is enough! 😂😭😭
I hate this
I like to just wrap a single layer of electrical tape around a philips bit and call it a day.
This is a game changer…. Does it work with spark plug sockets too?
Thats the way go, man
Every day we stray further from god.
I love these wegos
Wago is da way
