The new "back feed" devices are pretty good. They don't use a

Some I've seen, I call em back clamp. Which

Are you referring to the type where you must tighten the screw after sticking the stripped end of the wire through the hole in the back of the wiring device?
If it's what I'm thinking, it's a commercial grade device that I've used with stranded wire. You can also side wire them. ^_^
