Changed my mind about using wagos on commercial jobs after a foreman called me out

I used to be all about wire nuts for everything. Thought wagos were just for residential. Then this foreman at a hospital retrofit in Denver saw me twisting a 3-way and said 'you're costing us 20 minutes per box with those things.' He showed me how much faster the lever wagos were on a 4 gang switch box. Now I use them for most 12 gauge stuff. Has anyone else had a foreman change your whole approach to a certain fitting?

...and that foreman wasn't even my boss, just some guy walking through. I watched him hit a junction box with wagos in under a minute and it looked like magic. Tried them myself the next day and honestly haven't touched a wire nut on anything bigger than a light fixture since.

Right? @olivia_carr7 that's exactly how it went for me too, one guy showing you a faster way just flips a switch in your head and you never look back.
