I found a wago during a renovation and replaced it. I’m nuts about nuts. They feel as a better connection to me. It’s in how the coil sits so tight it won’t let go
Correctly installed wire nuts on solid core are totally fine electrically, though still less user friendly to work with compared to WaGo connectors.
The main challenge is that installing one correctly isn’t the easiest thing ever for most DIY installers, and even certified electricians don`t get them right 100% of the time.
Wago connectors by contrast are so incredibly simple to install and uninstall that you need to go out of your way (and deliberately go against instructions) to do it wrong and create unsafe connections.
That said, if you find any more used Wago connectors in your house save them for later. You’re bound to come across a situation eventually where you’ll struggle to thread on a wire nut correctly, and you can thank me later after troubleshooting your intermittent connection.
I live on the countryside, I keep a lot just because a store is not around the corner. It’s truly remarkable how much can be reused. I need a solution for my waterpump, the flange developed a crack but a suitable flange isn’t an easy find (yeah, industrial grade that costed more than the pump itself). Yesterday I found a coupling in my garage that works more than perfect.

So yeah, that wago is still around.
