Allow me to start over then...

Mickky,
Backplugging Receptacles are Okey-dokey by me... In fact, they sell these that have no screws at all and you can save yourself some more money probably a good 10 cents per receptacle. Just be sure to strip the wire to proper lenghth, pull to test, and only use #14, solid wire.

This is not meant to be sarcastic in any way, I'm admitting to being wrong and I now gladly accept backplugging and will backplug the entire house I'm working on...hey it's a bid job... got to cut as many corners as possible...

And I'm going to return a customer's money for "unneccesary" work after I had replaced ALL of his backplugs with spec grades... (One HAD failed, too bad I didn't get a picture of it)
