[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 74050, member: 110"] Re: Be afraid of what you plug into. I can't help echo Milts comments... They are there for a reason and they are UL approved... somebody somewhere thought they are a good idea and a working solution. I can only assume the failures in the photos are due to exposure and mis-use. I've built panels and quad boxes both ways, and for security, I'd take the stab points anytime. Have you ever tried to pull a wire out without using the release? I have used the screw terminals and I've had to re-seat the wire more than once because I wasn't satisfied with how it was sitting. Again it's neither here nor there, someone has a preference and there might be a majority or it might be "how it was always done". Both connection systems are available for use.
