Can't say as I've seen one of those before. That's one tool I would constantly be having to replace.

If you for some reason had to use wire nuts like that. They look like the ones that come with light fixtures that millions of probably end up in the landfill every year. But I suppose once upon a time that's all there was.

I use the Ideal wire nuts with a #2 flat blade screwdriver that has a hollow end to tighten them. I believe I get them tighter with that than using wing nuts.
