What happens here

This project demonstrates an 'outlet installation hack' using modern Leviton Lever Edge outlets, which allow for significantly faster wiring compared to traditional screw-terminal outlets. The process involves understanding the design of the new outlets, quickly connecting electrical wires using a lever mechanism, and then securing the outlet into the electrical box, highlighting the efficiency and safety (UL approved) of this method for both residential and commercial applications.

All right, so I get this outlet in this box. I'm going to show you guys a quick hack on how to install an outlet faster. This applies to any job, if it's residential or commercial, so listen up. First thing you want to do is you guys want to stop using these type of outlets. You see like these screws on the sides. You want to stop using these guys and instead use these guys. This is called a Leviton lever edge easy install outlet. All right, and you can see the screws are gone and it just simply has a lever where you can install your wires. So black wire always goes on the black levers and the white wires go on the white levers. I'm going to show you how fast it is to install an outlet with this. Done. Look how fast that was. If I used the normal, this is old school now. You see these type of outlets right here? Okay, if I did that, I would have to bend a shepherd's hook and that would have taken me maybe like 10 minutes. That just took me 1 minute. I know you're going to call me soft hands or that's the easy way out. Well, I'm telling you right now, this is practical and this is UL approved. So long story short, if you want to get an outlet installed faster, use a lever edge outlet. All right, see you in the next one.
