This twist wire connector socket is absolutely fantastic! As an electrician, I appreciate tools that save time and reduce strain, and this one does both. It makes wiring connections incredibly efficient while protecting my wrists from fatigue—no more hand-twisting wires for hours! The design is lightweight and compact, so it easily fits into my tool belt or pocket, making it super convenient for on-the-go jobs. This is actually my second one because I loved the first one so much (a colleague recommended it to me, and now I’m hooked). If you’re an electrician or work with wiring frequently, do yourself a favor and get this connector socket. It’s durable, ergonomic, and just makes the job so much easier. Highly recommend it!
These are designed for wire nuts with SHOULDERS. They will not work on wire nuts that are round across the entire circumference.
That being said, it does a great job with shouldered wire nuts. Pop the nut on the wires, twist a little to get it gripped, and then give the Spin-Twist a rev with your drill. Solid connection half a second later. The only gripe is that it's a bit loose with the tolerances, but I believe it's by design to prevent over-tightening.
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.
