Favorite Wire Strippers:
Speed wiring, aka backstabbing or push-in wiring, is commonly called out by professionals as a shortcut and not the best way to wire a receptacle or switch. I am not a licensed electrician and also try to keep the viewpoint of DIYers getting started with small electrical projects around the house. With this in mind, the speed and convenience of speed wiring can be tempting but is also known to be a common source of failures and possibly a fire hazard. Is there another option that combines the speed and convenience of speed wiring and the dependability of side wiring? There actually is and this feature is called back wiring found on most commercial-grade (spec grade) receptacles and other devices like a GFCI receptacle.
