Ever pulled a GFCI or outlet and realized the wires are so short you can barely touch them, let alone work on them? 😅 In this video we dig into that exact problem and show a simple way to deal with short conductors in cramped device boxes.
I’ll show you how I use WAGO lever connectors to tidy everything up, make future changes easier, and avoid tearing walls apart just to fix one box. ⚡️
Huge thanks to WAGO for sponsoring this video and supporting the channel. If you want to check out their connectors, head to wago.com
If you have ever fought a tiny, overstuffed box, you are going to want to see how this one turns out. 🏡
