There’s a reason Can-Twist are Canada’s most popular wire connector. For one, they were designed with feedback from real-world electricians to make them the most comfortable and reliable connectors on the market. But did you know that every time you purchase Can-Twist connectors in bulk you earn rewards from IDEAL?

Trusted by professional electricians for their quality and reliability, Can-Twist are the best choice for connecting wire from #22 to #8 AWG. They are manufactured using a copolymer material that allows the connector to expand for large wire combinations – up to 3 #10 AWG connectors!
