    Availability? Timeline? I have original SureTrace. I checked link a few weeks ago about where to buy and it said no one carried it so I assume it wasn’t out yet.

    I can't get a stripped 12-ga wire into the connector. I've held the wire with lineman pliers and the connector with locking pliers and used considerable force, but no go. I tried exercising the springs by repeatedly inserting a removing a small nail (which got stuck pretty good each time I inserted it), but that didn't help. I don't know how others are using these successfully.

    Agreed. Seemed like a good idea. Couldn’t get to work. Watched video and confirmed that it wasn’t just me. Tried several wire types and sizes and no luck. Went back to crimping. Threw these things in trash and will return unopened bags.

    Can this tool detect live wiring through 1/2” thick drywall? Say if the contractor who did the wiring in my house when it was being built capped a live wire and left it behind the drywall. Can this tool tell me it’s there?

    I have been using push in or stick and squeeze connectors for over 30 years and I have never, every had a fault or failure. I do admit there are times where wire nuts fit the box better though. At the end of the day, I'm not 110% that these are all that much better than wire nuts, but they definitely have an application.

    useless for stranded conductors. Just tried and they just easily pulled apart. Wagos work easily as both solid and stranded. I won't be buying these again. Also Wagos a easy to release.

    Do you have a video demo of using these in real life lighting situations? Yes, there are four slots for the t&e but the problem is fitting all four push in connectors in there. I really struggle to get the box to shut with loop in, loop out, light supply AND switch all in that little box despite it all being the same brand (yours) and assumedly designed to work together. Thanks.
