IDEALElectrical 30-902 Spin-Twist Wire Connector Socket Wrench

I have been an Electrician for 19 years. This is absolutely the best tool I ever bought. Wish I bought it 19 years ago. Works great with Ideal brand wirenuts. I have not tried it on other brands of wirenuts. The wirenuts need to have the two wings on them to work with this tool. When you use this tool with the drill, I recommend turning the drill slowly so you don't over twist the wires and to hold the wires with your free hand. Watch the You Tube videos. This tool is a true time saver. It is my belief that it also helps to prevent repetitive motion injuries from twisting wirenuts by hand all day.

This is a “must” for anyone in the electrical trade. After roughing in a couple of houses without one, my fingers were dry, cracked, and chapped from the hundreds of wire nuts tightened by hand (our city code requires pigtails for every single outlet)!This tool not only saved my fingers, but saved me a lot of time while making up outlets and switches! I found it useful to adjust the clutch (between 4 and 6 on my Milwaukee m12) to get the perfect twist without over tightening. This should be the easiest $10 you spend. Do it, and you won’t regret it!

I use this ti make the final spin pass on my connections. Works perfect. I like to hold the wires with some vice grips and just use the drill trigger until the wires begin to curl up to the vice grip hold point. Perfect twist full contact every time. A must have if you are doing electrical work.

I tried using this with a cordless drill, but the drill is overkill for what is needed. Instead, I attached it to a screwdriver shaft and taped it with electrical tape to keep it from falling off. I used it for ~20 wire nuts and it worked well. The screwdriver handle provides plenty of torque without much effort and is a lot more convenient than using a drill - especially since I was working overhead.

We're finishing our basement and have been doing a ton of electrical. This makes wiring so much easier. The bit goes in to a drill just like a regular bit. Easy to use and durable.

A life saver for twisting wires. After getting this i dont rewire anything without having this tool with me. This saves me a ton of time and saves my hand from twisting over and over wire nuts. It attaches to a wide variety of wire nuts. It does not attach to small wire nuts. But for anything 14 gauge or higher it will do. I can redo outlets at a faster rate than other electricians. I have no hand cramps. I attach this to a drill when i redo an apartment of outlets and switches to avoid constant twisting of my hand. I would buy this over and over except i have yet to even break it. I thought that the plastic would crack. But it has yet to do so. Just be careful when its attached to the drill that it doesnt drop on the floor and crack it.UPDATE:I have found out that you can over twist wires more easily with this on a drill. Once you get the feel of it you know where to stop to avoid this. Sometimes i even hit the drill and check, only to hit it again, to avoid over twisting. This has enough power to not have to pre-twist the wires together. You can just butt the wire nut to the wires and put this on and it will twist it beautifully for you.

It twists red ideal wire nuts which I use on a daily basis at work. You put this on a impact driver or a clutched drill and it twists the wire nut down for you. Good for relieving the strain of repetitive motion type activities that could lead to serious injury or surgical intervention. Makes it so a old man can stay in the game a lil longer.
