I received a lot of feedback on this video where many licensed electricians said "that outlet is crap." This piqued my interest as this was the type of outlet I had used for many projects in the past. Of course, I understood for less than $0.50 the outlet could not be of the highest quality but didn't know exactly why and how commercial (more expensive) outlets were different. So I broke out a hacksaw and took a look inside a residential Leviton 5320 outlet and a Commercial Leviton CBR15 outlet. This video will share what I found and also share my decision on what outlets to use moving forward on my projects.
