There was a rep handing them out at the ECF meeting but I haven't used them enough to have an opinion.They seem to cost almost 4 times what a wire nut costs so you have to ask how much labor they save.

Touting that three of them fit thru a 1/2" KO may lead to abuse, and splicing in small raceways?

That's my concern ... as I see it, we still MUST have the splice in a box, and MUST have the required pigtail.I think Ideal needs to be a bit more specific as to their claims, as the picture leads you to think the NEC rules have been 'waived.'Maybe they were- does this gizmo qualify as a non-reversable crimp splice? What did they have UL evaluate it as?
