better quality has screws to hold wires when tightened
I've never seen one without screws.
I think you're confusing the regular outlets with screws on the sides
and spring barb push in openings in the back with what is being
discussed here, spec grade outlets where the screws go into a "loose"
nut behind the push in openings. When you tighten the screws on spec
grade outlets, the nuts clamp down on the pushed in wires. The screws on
the cheaper outlets only hold the wires if you install the wires on the
sides of the outlet using the screws. The spec grade ones use the screws
for all wires.
