Yea Art, I bought the cheaper ones from Amazon. I bought these inline ones and also the three way ones. They are really nice and make quick work. Easy to inspect once in a while also. Just flip the lever and pull the wire out. Apparently these have been around for a long time? Ha,Ha..I've been out of touch with the times I guess. I'm gonna leave one exposed to the weather for a few months and then smack it with a hammer to see how it looks inside. They have copper contacts so they should be goo for a while?

They are cheap, I bought the 15-piece set. My battery and valves are in a toolbox. Let's see how they hold up to bleach. My wire nuts corrode out.

Yea, I figure to inspect them periodically. I bought the 60 piece set for $10. I'll just replace routinely. Once a month? We shall see.

Hi Jeff, Just playing around with them. I just noticed they lock together. You can make a circuit board out of them. I was thinking a plastic Elec. switch plate. Just glue them on to it.

Yea, Art that's a neat idea. I didn't know they locked together. I used them a few times so far for a few different things, they sure make quick work of a job. I'm going to be checking them periodically to see how they hold up to the elements we see. They're so easy to swap though, if the wire corrodes, just snip , strip and make a new connection. The "better" ones are called Wago and look like they take up less room it that matters. I'll use these cheap ones for now.

I just used some of the connecters, added a little Dielectric grease. Just in case!

Yea, good idea on the dielectric grease. I actually forgot. Easy enough to redo these connections though.
I like dialectric grease, but dang is that stuff slippery. Ha, Ha...
