Can we talk about those new push-in wire connectors?

I saw them at the supply house in Omaha about six months ago and thought they were just a gimmick. A guy on a commercial job convinced me to try them on a small lighting circuit, and honestly they held up better than I expected. The real test came when we had to pull a wire back out, and it released clean without any damage. Has anyone else put these through their paces on bigger loads?

Honestly, @verafoster, I'd be nervous trusting them on anything bigger than a lighting circuit. Seen too many new products fail after a year of real heat cycles.

How many amps did you run through them? I used them on a 20-amp kitchen branch circuit and they were solid.
