Support me for more videos: patreon.com/GreatScott?ty=h In this video I will explain to you why it is so important to use the correct electrical connectors for your electrical wiring/projects. Along the way I will tell you all about Wago connectors, screw terminals, cable shoes and wire ferrules. At the end I will then conduct a big experiment in order to find out which connector is the best! Let's get started!
