and for that matter I don't use the "backstab" at all...

I take the few extra seconds it takes to use the screw connection and
make sure it's tight.

The new "back feed" devices are pretty good. They don't use a
springtab - they use a screw but do not require bending the wire to
fit around the screw, and the co-alr devices have a set pressure due
to usre of a bellview type spring washer.

Sounds like a great idea, now that I think of it I have seen a few of those.
