The ribbed cap permits quick and easy installs by hand or with a nut driver. The Twister Al/Cu connector provides your secure and reliable choice for retrofitting older residential buildings with aluminum wiring.

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
