I hate it when you cant just buy a product, i dont wanna have to email the company just to find out they cost $30 each or something like that
@Sausketo click the "store" link at the bottom of the page; one costs £2.50 and the other is £3.50
This is some electrician ASMR right here.
Nah. The British electrical code is just absolutely insane. Drives them all nuts. This is therapy.

I hate this so much.
What the hell do you think you're doing? Flush trimming a cable tie?? I thought all sparks' apprenticeships had a four week module about cutting ties to leave the most arm-lacerating, palm-shredding, finger-ripping ends possible?
Yeah, what the hell. I cut my metal zip ties on a angle and too long just to give it to the next man. May he get some days off paid leave.
Where I'm from, it's standard practice to cut at an angle and sharpen the point with a file! Or at least it seems that way.
@@AGjengendo ya get the torch out and heat treat the end too? Gotta make sure they hold an edge after cutting though leather.
@@ionstorm66 I secure all of my work with frayed wire rope, personally.
Exactly! They clearly tell you to cut the tail at a good 45 degree angle to leave as sharp of an edge as possible, then toss the rest on the floor.
Forget the junction box, those sound effects are brilliant! 👌🏻 😂
Effects
Звук пердежа прям в тему.
@@garciamicolta001oops yeah
I loved the piano riff
It’s amazing to see where electrical has evolved. I remember repairing a nob and tube house when I started my apprenticeship many, many years ago.
I'm still fixing up my knob and tube house. 1/3 done. 2/3 to go.
You forgot a many 😂😂
Ayyyy, the zip ties are cut flush 👍🏻
Not just flush cut, but pulled then cut. Honestly more interested in the cutter than junction box.
thats like bonus points right !
@@thom628bany flush cutter will do
@@thom628b I have a similar cable tie tool made by Panduit. Its shape generated a fair bit of interest a few years ago when going through x-ray at the Scottish Parliament building!
Wagos are interesting, but wire nuts will never die! They have worked for MANY MANY years!
pros: small and neat.
cons: inflexible. The smaller version can only accomodate 3 3 position wagos, the larger version 3 3 position and one 5 position.
A wagobox 221-4 by contrast has three slots each of which can accomodate either a 5 position wago or a two position and a three position. In addition it has a "bridge" position which accomodates a 5 position wago. That gives a whole lot more flexibility.
Y'all should learn about 3D printers, better yet order them to get printed at PCBway. Consumer printers are 50X better than 4 years ago 10X faster and 10X more reliable than $300 ender-3s for $600
@@cybyrd96153D-printed junction boxes aren't going to pass any electrical inspection, just to be clear.
@@cybyrd96153d printed parts would be expensive and time consuming compared to something mass produced like a regular junction box
And I doubt it'll pass any sort of safety regulation, making a custom part pass safety regulations are expensive.
@@cybyrd9615I read/see comments like this far to often. Only because you CAN print something doesn't mean you HAVE to.
Prefer the connex grey boxes myself, but the orange would be nicer to spot them in a dark ceiling
Can't have a two gang switch this box. So i will stick with the grey wagoboxes.
Anything wago and designed to accommodate wago is always satisfying
That Wago snap. So satisfying. 😂
Alright, that's pretty cool. I don't do electrical work often, but I have been enjoying the Wago 221's
I'm a wire nut guy myself, but I'll admit this is pretty damn cool
Wire nuts haven't been used in Europe since the 60s
In Oregon we haven't been using wire nuts for 20 years except for cord and existing wiring repairs.
Absolutely love wago, an absolute dream to use, cables so tidy after use, neat, easy, no more trying to screw tight and ballance on ladder
Flush cut and EVERYTHING!!!
Nawice!!!
Personally I prefer Phoenix Contact or Allen Bradley screw terminal blocks on a piece of din rail in a Hoffman box, but I guess this works, too.
I don’t know much about electrical installation, but the use of “correct” tools for specific task is amazing! 😁
Here in Switzerland, it is forbidden to have an unaccessible sealed junction box.
We have to have access to it no matter what even for a completely sealed junction inside a water environment like a pump for a well.
Can't hide those inside a wall.
Over here in the UK we have ChocBoxes in the UK and we have only just started to have these but they are horrendously expensive. This is why a lot of electricians will opt for the cheaper version of a ChocBox.
Sound effects 10/10. Organization 10/10. Result: satisfaction.
As someone used to N American J-boxes, I have to say that it looks pretty organized with the wago connections held in place by the box itself.
This is interesting, but the National Electric Code here in North America doesn't allow you to put junction boxes behind drywall. It has to always be accessible. Something like this could only be installed in the attic assuming they allowed you to use this junction box.
Finally someone who correctly handles cable ties!
Still prefer to make up joints the old fashioned way. Twisting together solid copper wires allow for better contact imo. The wire nuts are just to make sure they are insulated won't come apart easily. I also use a bit of Super 33 if they are in a hard to reach spot.
OUTSTANDING. We can use this to assist in the decent wiring for the interior of our scratch-built travel trailer (using 14 ga stranded, that is)
Man the electrical stuff you guys have is way cooler than our dumb steel boxes with terminal screws like 5mm away from the side of the box and clunky ass wire nuts.
Try doing all that neat wiring when you up on a ladder trying to install this in some ceiling.
😂
That's why Europeans are the best American electricians, they don't have to "try".
Not supposed to be doing it of a step ladder if a uk sparkly 😀
With all the cables coming from the same direction and one of the cables isnt long enough
Please explain brown on blue wire connection ?!? Wt.....
That was absolutely beautiful...the short i didnt know i needed. So satisfying. Ty
Nice to see someone cut the ties flush. Get cut so many times from people leaving razor sharp edges on them. Worst are the metals, pretty much like a razor blade
Яка краса. шкода ,що всі завжди економлять на тому красу чого бачать лише ті що роблять.
Them wagos hit different. A bit pricey but worth it
The first waygo thing I seen it I would actually use.. but you got to buy the boxes and the connectors to populate the box. There's three different sizes that go in a box.. sounds like a good way to spend a hundred bucks
What's wrong with a pre made maintenance free junction box, Hager J803/4
Who saw this at least 5+ times. Loved it.
My wife said wago's look like Lego! Tbh the build quality is great. Love flicking them open and close.
Fantastic video team eFIXX
I was introduced to the wago about two years ago. They are outstanding wire connection devices. Much more convienient than a twist on wire nut, and it takes up less space. The visual confirmation that shows the wire inserted fully really takes the doubt out of a splice point. How many times has a wire failed to stay within the twisted group and required a second attempt?
Actually someone with skills here👍🏻what tools did you use here,would be nice to know for the diy guys.
It is very nice and enjoyable to watch your videos. 😮
Thanks
Ingenious! Yes, Nobel prize to Wago.
I can’t wait to get to work
I love wago’s as it is, but this is even more satisfying 🙂👍🏻
👍🏻
Loop and switch line is muddled up there mate
Well spotted
there's a brown sheath on the blue in the loop, it just isn't quite long enough lol
that is SOOOO NICE.....wow for connectors
Ok , as an American electrician I am very jealous right now!
kind of a one trick pony, though. but get the extra partitions out of the inside, and it's golden for fixing open splices.
wago ingeneers should get a nobel price for that 221 model
Правила монтажа проводки в Европе и США, по ходу очень отличаются. В Украине в таком месте провод обязательно должен быть в металлическом рукаве. А коробка должна быть металлической. Герметичность этой коробки близка к нулю. Не так уж и удобно соединять. Выглядит красиво, на деле же фигня. Намного проще взять классическую коробку. Соединить всё снаружи. Оставить положенный запас провода. Соединить. Запихать всё внутрь и забыть.
In Belgium, also in Europe, it is already many decades forbidden to use metal pipes and junction boxes.
Да ну брось, я кайфую от такой подставки для ваго, жаль у нас в продаже нет таких, да по ПУЭ что в Украине, что в России нужен метал, при чем металлорукав не годится, стенки тонкие, но я не разу не встречал чтобы кто-то делал именно в трубах, как это делали при союзе
I would absolutely love to see a North American equivalent.
We have different requirements here; no loop circuits, minimum conductor length requirements in the junction box, etc., so the box shown wouldn't fly. But gosh it is brilliant.
Wire nuts will last longer and also not fail randomly for no good reason
I feel like the Wago's are like stab in style receptacles. Maybe I'm wrong. Seems like they would easily heat up under load. Be different if they were lugs.
Very Cool!
Fine for use in equipment or machine tools, only.
That's pretty neat!
Nice and easy on the real world OSB at waist level with new conductors. At least these have through routing.
I get a kick of old school electricians that refuse to use Wagos, they rather twist the devil out of wires and put the bulky twisters. 😢😂
Really looking forward to the day this becomes the standard in the industry. Right now the cost of these wago materials are still more expensive and uncommon compare to standard jbox and screw connectors here in New Zealand so you will not see these being used.
Потому что ваго это говно для идиотов, детская игрушка
This is art ❤
Super buenas siempre hacen buen contacto , material muy fiable
Based. Wago ftw. The only way to do electrical
Have used, will again.
Very good.
Excellent junction box. Hopefully they design one for the push fit connectors.
super cool
Looks great!
Satisfatório esse vídeo
This is just amazing 🎉
Even as a Wiley American, I see a place for this.
Yeah, I've been watching this trend toward the Wago connections. I've yet to do any load testing on them to see how well they hold up. Would love to test some by letting them run at 15 amps to 20 amps continuous to see how well they survive. They look a bit light duty to me. Not bad for individual light fixtures but it's the pass through current that I would worry about.
Just type in wago test on youtube people have already done it for you.
I've never seen a wago that was installed properly burn up. I've been using them for over 30 years, as a motor control and service supervisor we're talking probably over 3 million of them installed. In many European countries wire nuts went away over 50 years ago, they're not even available. So yeah someone has already tested them for you
That’s pretty awesome!!
Perfect 👌
nice indeed
love it
Very cool indeed
Brilliant bit of kit but hard to find them stocked
Now thats the way you do it !
Great for the DIYs.
Bro I have no idea what any of that did but hats off to your editing and sounds. Great work my friend 😂
Электричество на новый уровень нет слов красота
What is the cable clipping tool featured in this video? I’ve not seen it before that work looks brilliant!
Wago's are just special
Damn that's clean!
I feel like we need the replumb voice over on this one .. "hey boi .. back in ma day we twisted live wires together by hand like real men" 😂
Not an electrician, so I'm just curious. What purpose does the installation of a junction box do in this scenario? What are you connecting to what?
Usually on a lighting circuit including the wiring to a switch
@@efixx Ah gotcha. So it's just keeping all the hots and grounds and whatnot sorted? So one a trio would go to a switch, and another trio would go to the fixture?
@@KhanGirey you have a feed in cable a feed out cable and a cable going to to the switch.
Whats the cost vs a standard box and wire nuts?
Good question, shit probably costs 50 bucks compared to the regular setup
Looks like the conectors cost $0.50 x 5 = $2.50 and the box cost $2. So total price of $4.50.
Wire nuts cost about $0.16 each. Maybe $3 for a box and cover.
It's better regardless. Better wire management. More reusability. Less mess. Less fuck ups
@@josegomez6549 Not better for the bottom line.
Wago-super Gut!
So neat!
oh man these are so much better than the grey boxes.
Cool!
The latest and greatest
nobody will ever be able to convince me automotive connection techniques are better than this
really nice Product .
Oh god, thank you for demonstrating the clean cut on zip ties. It annoys me so bad when people leave out these sharp teeth...
👍🏻
Isn't it interesting that rather like most of construction, the electrical industry has been relatively static regarding the actual materials used but over the last few years great steps have been made in innovation. The humble JB for 70 odd years, a few iterations recently and now a well designed thoughtful product like this...
jbs are not maintenance free, since wagos have been around manufactures it only makes sense to have maintenance free connections
@@Lennyhunt117 That's part of my point...
@@gibbodive140 sounded like you were against the new stuff sorry mate 😂
U are now my master
The nerd acting cool 😎. Nice job man. We have much to learn. Please show us 👨🎓
You gotta love the wago ❤️
It's a shit
Интересная распаечная коробка.
Nice.
I need to get me one these
Idk what I’m even watching but I’m here for it
