Well it would be neat as a storage container I really would like to join together some 00000000 (8/0) AWG cables.

It’s 100% Wagos for me. Just got the 221 through connectors which are great for the small enclosure/ lighting circuits. Also have a box of the larger one for 6mm cable.

I work in electrical temps and we go through boxes and boxes of Wagos. A worrying trend on site is other trades opening up our lighting JBs to steal them, leaving live conductors on show.

On ownership of WAGO - it hasn't always been an independent company. From 1974 until 4 April 2003 WAGO was 51% owned by the UK company Spirent PLC and its predecessors. Before that they owned 25% of WAGO but I can't find how long that was for. In some of their Annual Reports they described the WAGO business as a Joint Venture.

Great product, i was wondering if there is a version for high temperature applications where porcelain is the only options?

Nice to have the wago reps on guys, is comp just open to electricians? I'm heating engineer and use wago too lol 😆

I'd have asked what happened to the patent/design rights on the 222 that led to the almost identical copies and the derived variants.

I know I'm late to chime in, really interesting insight into Wago. On a side note, the rep on the left has, to me, an uncanning Lee Mack look and aeven his voice is quite a match! hilarious.

Must be in the genes. Graeme Hall (the Dogs Behaving Badly guy) sounds like Lee Mack and looks like he could be his dad.

Great product for many applications. However I found when doing a tug test the 222 can come undone with medium force respect to a strip of connectors. Probably not an issue with cable grips or glands for securing the cable. Just tight connections avoids high resistance from loose connections.

You need to get them to do a multi conductor connector trial with a Stop Watch !

Yay! Win a van with bugger all range, good if you only do local work I suppose.

I reckon these little bastards are the best single invention to hit our industry since battery tools.

Why don't Wago make a four way clamp connector?

Is there a reason the 2 largest DIY stores in North America, Lowe's and Home Depot, don't carry the Wago connectors? I end up having to get them on Amazon and then wait 2 to 5 days to get them.

They are ok for domestic use but in industry they fail regularly, I use them for temporary connections and isolating multicore during fault finding, But won't leave them on permanently. Had too many fail.

Expensive may be, but if they aren't saving you time, you shouldn't use them. There is a lot of overlap in the sizes. Most domestic electricians will only need one size for radial and ring final circuits.

if you know you know 😏😏

I think I have finally figured out why so many comment that it is easy to remove wires from a Wago 222, et al, connector. I is because you haven't really inserted your wire INTO the connector. As stupid as this may sound, it is the result of the extreme pressure required to fully open a Wago lever! The lever MUST be opened to nearly 90 degrees in order to permit wires to be inserted. When I first tried to open a Wago 222, I thought I was going to break the lever before it fully opened. But I persisted and it finally FULLY opened. The clamping spring must of necessity be very strong to really affix the wires in the connector. Makes opening the lever at first a scary proposition. If one had to install a lot of these connectors at one time, I think you will have a sore finger at the end of the day. Perhaps Wago will bring out a tool to give some leverage to fully open the connector on high volume jobs? Just my two cents...🙂

Too expensive for what they are , nowt like a brag at your turnover when sparks pay daft prices eh 😂
