Leviton has a patent pending on outlets and switches using mechanisms like the wago lever nuts.
There is a 15A tamper resistant outlet and two different 15A rocker switches- a single pole and triple pole (I think).
They are color coded but also have words on them to show where the hot, neutral, and ground go.
They come with extra plastic in case someone cut holes too large in the walls but a piece can be snapped off to make it fit a regular outlet. There are grooves and bumps to make them line up properly when next to one another in say a double or triple gang box.
There are also test holes on the back so the voltage can be tested without removing the wires.
A guide on the bottom (I think) shows how far to strip the wire. It works like the lever nuts where you open it up, put the wire in, and then close it to secure the wires.
No exposed metal anywhere to cause accidental shock. I think it would be neat if it was clear so you could see the wire inside, but they might not be able to get away with that without fighting over the wago patent.
I have seen them for sale on Home Depot and they are reasonably priced. I hope they come out with more.
Anyone here tried these yet?
