I don't really like to recommend the twist style wire connectors as they have a reputation of not being as reliable as soldered connections or even butt connectors like the # DW05744-5.

Jameson, I was satisfied with the answer you had given me, I did go with the twists i had bought but if they fail i will go with butt connectors. Although will the butt connectors work when there are more than one wire per end or will they work for three Thanks again
