We used to use this in the Netherlands. But we haven't done that in a long time. Wago much better

the reason wirenuts are used it because they're cheaper. about 12 cents vs about 1$ for a wago

in canada with solid conductors they must be pre twisted before putting on marretts (wire nuts) or else its a code violation. stranded your good though

Size wise nope. Put 5-6 of them in a junction box and it’s full

Electric_Wizard84 :
Always pre twist. The wire nut is not made to make the joint, it is an insulator for the joint.

I'm in America, I use wago for everything.... It's especially good on low voltage control wire. No more untwisting to trace control voltage. I have never seen an electrician or anyone other than me using wagos

Wirenut > Wago , less heat developed if you make several splices in series on same current with IR Cam. Also better outdoors if you insall vertical even when you donybuy weather proof ones

funnymanventure :
if it's stranded wire you don't need to pre twist, and they make many sizes depending on wire size and number of wires. pretty much all we use in Canada

wire nuts are only bad if improperly installed

Shouldn’t pre-twist. Goes against manufacturer recommendations

Definitely use ideal gel filled wire nuts for garden lights or in ground speakers 100%

They are cheaper and more forgiving on sheath removal on cable.
