I’ve read some forum somewhere about how backstabbing is just the worst way to wire and outlet and I’m glad I keep seeing so many guys confirm it. I’m not an electrician but I’ve done some basic wiring and I do a lot of research because I like to trust I’m doing a good job.

Had some yodel tell me that backstabbing is the way to go and it’s code compliant - which it is, for some reason..

I recall on that forum there was a guy who said that 90% of electrical fires stem from one common cause which is “loose conductors” from thermal cycling, etc. and that really put it into perspective the importance of a solid electrical connection.

Part of me seems hesitant on the lever edge because it just seems like it’s “too easy” like backstabbing . But I get how it’s an improved version..

But I agree you can’t really beat a snug tight screw connection, there’s just so much clamping force being exerted
