There's something to be said for twisting wires together, then feeling how
tight and secure they are under a wire nut. Only time will tell how well
these new devices hold up. There are certainly enough problems with spring
clips in outlets and switches becoming loose

For the re-wiring I did in my basement we used the push-in connectors for
a junction box. They worked very well especially given the large number
of wires we had to connect together. But what's the word on the street,
my friend who recommended them says that a lot of old-timer electricians
don't trust them, but that the journeymen that he works with love them
because they make their job so much easier. I thought it was great, strip
the wire, push the wire in the hole, wire's locked into place.
