14/2 fits in the backstab holes. I know someone who chose it for that

The backstab holes only make sense for a bottom feeding contractor who
is going for the lowest possible bid. It certainly saves time but
reliability suffers. Homeowners wiring their own home should take the
extra minute to use the screws.


This was a homeowner. Also, it as not me. I use the screws.
