Default backstab outlets

In article ,
(Claude Hopper) says...

I don't recall asking for cheap, cheap, crappy, crappy backstab outlets.
I also don't see a big problem curling the end of a wire to fit around a
screw; take what, 2 seconds?


It's not the receptacle, it's the labor. Strip and stab is quicker than
strip and screw. The general contractor asked the electrical sub for
cheap, and the electrical sub delivered. If you can set and torque
screw terminals in 2 seconds, you need to go into business.
