Greetings,

I wouldn't wrap the wire-nuts no matter how much free time I had.

Wrapping sockets might not be a bad idea. Tenants, etc break plastic outlet
covers from time to time and a wrapped socket is slightly harder to
electrocute yourself with.

Hope this helps,
William

I know that according to code and according to (most) manufacturer
instructions there is no need to wrap the terminals of switches or
outlets with electrical tape or to reinforce wiring nuts with tape.

On the other hand, if you have the time, is it still a good idea from
a safety and belt-and-suspenders perspective to apply a layer of tape?

[It seems to me that adding tape to outlets/switches just minimizes the
risk that the terminals will rub up against something metal (or skin)
while taping over wiring nuts just decreases the risk that they will
pull off if you get to agressive in pushing or pulling the wires into
the box.]
