Default backstab outlets

Who makes a backstab outlet/switch that the wire is tightened in with
a screw. After a couple of problems in my home I want to change them
all out and I prefer not to haveto restrip and bend all those
connections. One manufacturer had an industrial quality connector but
I could only find them in brown. Wife would not go for that.

Cooper makes a receptacle with a screw down clamp where you don't need to
bend the wire into a loop. Lowes sells them. You may have to restrip some
wires as you will find some of the ends will break off after removal from
the old receptacle. The best way to go is pigtailing multiple conductors.
