[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 80060, member: 47"] Re: Be afraid of what you plug into. For those who don't know what Geoff is talking about, I've attached a link that shows the difference between questionable backstabbing and good quality back wiring. Not all back wiring is created equal. I also hope the included link provides some others reasons to stay away from 50 cent Home Depot duplex receptacles. The residential stuff just has no place in a production environment. IIRC - they used to make back-stab only (screwless) residential receptacles as well. Cheers!
