Wiring devices that WORK

[Michael W. Clark]

For outdoor landscape lights, I used the crimp connectors and heat shrink tubing. Good to know there are some other solutions too.

I found an interesting wire connector on a 1970's British bandsaw. It looked like a regular wire nut. Then I unscrewed the plastic cap. The inner metal cone stayed behind. I thought great a cheap thing that fell a part. Then I looked closer and there is a setscrew on the side to bind the wires. Very nice design, solid and easy to use. I saw no makers name?
Polaris is the multitap brand I know.

They were not uncommon here 40 or 50 years ago. They were more expensive, more labor to install and no better than a good wire nut.
