Swapped from screw terminals to spring clamps on panel installs and saved a ton of time

I used to spend forever tightening every wire connection with a small flathead on screw terminals in alarm panels. A few months back I tried Wago lever nuts on a job in Austin because I forgot my screwdrivers. Honestly it felt weird at first not seeing the screw bite down. But after that first panel I was sold. No more stripped screws or loose wires. Now I use them on every residential panel I do. Cuts about 15 minutes off each install for me. Has anyone else made the switch or do you stick with screws for some reason?

Do you think they hold up as well in high-vibration environments though

@taylorlewis totally agree, I had one come loose just from normal road bumps after a few months. Same setup as yours? Was hoping higher grade hardware might fix it but still sketchy.
