KJ this starts to sound like the perfect device for pigtailing. The stranded pigtail will be the only one that really moves around much once you stuff the solids and splice device in the back of the box. If you took one twist on the solids before you started stuffing it they wouldn't really move relative to the splice. The only problem I see is with dimmers and such that come with a built in pigtail. You would be cutting the splice out any time you had to replace it.
I suppose they could be, but if these are indeed the future of electrical splices and device connection, this is really going to be a major readjustment for someone like me. Mainly since I’ve spent the better part of the last few decades trying to avoid using this type of connection because of the associated trouble I’ve seen with them, so it’s kind of strange to now see this method being lauded and widely embraced.
I guess my first thought is in regard to troubleshooting and testing. At least with a traditional wirenut, you can just spin it off and untwist the wires if need be to separate them. I suppose you could use those long, needle like backprobe type test lead adapters for Molex connectors, to probe the connector holes, instead of just cutting them off.
