In-Sure Lever Connectors What the Pros Say

In-Sure® Lever Connectors:

What the Pros Say 

We asked professional electricians to provide their feedback on our In-Sure Lever

Connectors versus competitor offerings. Here’s what they said. 

In-Sure® Lever Connectors from IDEAL Electrical offer a quick splicing solution for wire terminations, saving you time and the strain of constant twisting. These compact connectors fit into cramped junction boxes, while the convenient reusability (flip the lever to release the conductors) makes rework a breeze.

 

But while lever connectors are widely used across Europe, some North American electricians are less familiar with lever-type connectors. To help bridge that gap, we sent our lever connectors to real electricians across North America and asked them to weigh in. How do IDEAL® lever connectors compare to competitor options? What should pros expect from the quality, convenience, and performance of In-Sure Lever Connectors? Below, four electricians share their feedback and shed light on what they’ve learned.

Joe Geisler (@electricianjoe), Electrician and Influencer

 

Joe is an electrician who hosts the channel @electricianjoe on social media and YouTube. After his experience with In-Sure Lever Connectors, he appreciated the built-in continuity check port and transparent housing for providing connection security he can trust.

 

“This is the first connector I trust vs. a wire nut, and of course it’s Ideal,” he wrote in the caption.

 

He also pointed out how the 12 AWG model allows solid wire to be pushed in without opening the lever, making installs even faster and more convenient.

Donny Metcalf, Master Electrician

 

Donny Metcalf is a master electrician and instructor at an IEC trade school. After testing In-Sure Lever Connectors on his jobsite, he shared his feedback in his responses to three questions below

 

How did the installation process compare to the type of connectors you usually use?

 

When compared to other wiring connectors, these lever connectors saved a vast amount of time. The large wire entry ports allowed for easy wire insertion and you know it’s a solid connection when you hear the “click” of the levers when you close them. In addition, the removal process (think renovation, service calls, or rewiring) was very easy. Not having to untwist wires from a traditional twist on wire connector or twist the conductor back and forth to get it removed is a blessing.

How would you see these benefiting you on jobs?

 

Time and reliability. From the time of wire insertion into the box, to the time the device was installed, was about a minute. This is a huge time saver versus standard wire connectors. The clear shell of these wire connectors was also very beneficial as it allows you to easily see that the wire was inserted fully. The wire size range is also quite broad allowing for less overall different materials needed for any given project.

 

Would you continue to choose those products?

 

I would absolutely recommend these wire connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn't seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove! The clear color of the housing itself made it easy to see when you had the conductors inserted fully- a blessing!

Luis Sanchez, Electrician

 

We asked electrician Luis Sanchez to test IDEAL lever connectors against a competitor's product to determine which has the best lever security, ease of application, and shortest installation time.

 

Luis praised the simple, quick application of the In-Sure Lever Connectors. Unlike some competitors, the 12 AWG In-Sure model permits a solid wire to be pushed in without opening the lever first. This saves precious seconds for each wire termination.

 

He also noted that the levers on In-Sure connectors are more spaced out and easier to grip, particularly while wearing gloves. This facilitates easier and faster installations.

Micah Qualls (@builtwithtools), Electrician

 

Micah is an electrician that hosts the channel @builtwithtools on social media and YouTube. He introduced In-Sure Lever Connectors to his followers as a no-twist wire termination solution. Micah appreciated the reusability of IDEAL lever connectors. Electricians can simply flip the lever back and pull the wires out, making it easy to undo and rework connections if needed.
