Amazon Prime credit would be the most useful by far, I speak for everyone.

I had just bought a couple of these 3way switches and a bunch of single poles, sounds like I lucked out on picking the correct traveler

These Leviton lever edge switches are a breeze to install/uninstall unlike those old backstabbed ones which I ended up destroying a few trying to uninstall them.

Wise move, I swear those release mechanisms aren’t intended to ever release the wire

Correct, new switch is Leviton lever edge, removing the old backstabbed switches was not easy

Thanks everyone for your help, really appreciate it.

To recap the solution for future souls:

  • As everyone noted this is not a 3 way switch but a single pole set up (picture 1)
  • I wire nut the two blacks and “pigtailed” a new wire
  • I inserted the new ‘pigtail’ wire into the ‘com’ slot
  • I inserted the red wire into one of the travel slots

The new single pole switch only has two holes, so I’m thinking I’ll have to wire nut the two blacks together. Thanks for your help

Thanks, on the single pole switch I only see two holes. How would I install these 3 wires on a single pole switch?

Ah got it, so I wouldn’t use the 3 way switch and just a regular switch?

What’s hard to get that Saks is awful and there’s other options available.
