Switched from push-in connectors to Wagos on a big commercial job and it saved my back

We were doing a 40 unit apartment build out last month and I had been using push-in connectors for the light fixtures. After the first 100 boxes my fingers were killing me from jamming wires in those tight ports. My apprentice suggested we try Wagos instead because he used them at his last shop. I was skeptical at first since Wagos cost about 30 cents more per pack. But after running through 200 more boxes with lever nuts I was done in half the time and my hands felt fine. The lever action is just so much easier on the joints especially when you are doing hundreds of connections. Has anyone else gone through this switch and noticed a difference in hand fatigue over a long day?

Does anyone really go back to push-ins after feeling how smooth those levers work?

Yeah fair enough, I was a push-in holdout until I tried these.

Oh man, I feel this SO much. Once you get that smooth lever action it's REALLY hard to go back to anything else.
