Hello:

Was wondering about simple light switches that have both the conventional
screw terminals, and also have the push in holes for the stripped wire in
the back.

Are either just as good, and safe ?

Which do you folks use; the push in is certainly a bit simpler, but one
wonders if the "grippers" inside really make as good and as secure a

contact
as well tightened screws ?

Thanks,
Bob



In my home, I want as much contact with the wire as possible and that means
side screws.
I really dont want to come home to find out that the fire was caused by an
overheated connection in a stab connection..while its prob rare, its not
worth the worry. Take the extra 10 seconds and loop and tighten the wire.
