    Re-wiring made easier by using these Wago 221 "lever wire nuts":


    These made it easier to keep the wires clean and neat, and made more space in the boxes, which was needed cause all these "smart" switches are extra deep.
    Biggest benefit of these was when joining in stranded wires (that were internally attached on the new switches) to the exisiting solid copper. Every existing fan switch had the stranded wires, and in every case, the solid wire was untwisted with the stranded just wrapped around it in the wire nut. New connection with the wago is much more secure.

    My brother does lots of electronics testing work, took a couple to work with him, ran 1500 watts thru them and measured with a thermal camera. The connector got no hotter than the wire itself.


    Installed a few of these as well at the kitchen island:
    I recently did some re-wiring with the Wago nuts. Good stuff and very neat.

    That’s what I need. You going with spare tire delete and mounting it where the spare tire goes?

    Above the driveshaft. These aren't huge bells, and I have stock-ish tire size, prefer to keep the spare.
    That was the best deal I could find. 200psi, 1/2" feed line, 5 gallons. I hoped to find better bells, but the ones I wanted were OOS

    Grabbed this a couple weeks ago - an Uberti Cattleman in .357 mag., with the holster rig (which won't fit my fat ass, of course), for $500. Pistol is flawless, and rig is unused. Couldn't pass it up, paid for with brass money!
