Wago connectors actually have tiny holes for needle probes on the end opposite to the wire openings.
I was 100% set on using traditional "choc block" style connectors until I first had one of them melt down two years after I wired it myself (noticed the fizzling noise coming out of a box in the dining room) and then encountered some that wouldn't grip the wires no matter how hard you tightened the screws. That got me started on alternatives, first Voltomat (big box store brand, most likely something else relabeled) and then Wago. I completely wired a friend's place with those a few years ago (the same place where I had the bad-out-of-the-box choc blocks) and when I did some additional work this year all connections were perfectly fine. The only huge trouble spot I found was an older outlet where a Polish guy had managed to stuff a folded wire (long run stripped just an inch and folded over) into a terminal only rated for one wire... that did cause a minor meltdown.
BTW, does anyone need a few boxes of ancient Hi Scale wirenuts?
I got to salvage the contents of a barn that apparently once belonged to an electrician and found 4 boxes of those, fairly surprising here in Vienna. Labeled in English, designed for AWG wire, manufactured in New York.
