pigtailing or back stabbing outlets

[hardworkingstiff]

I always get a kick out of pulling out a receptacle and all the screws and all the holes are used up. They normally do that because the box is already undersized, and there's no room for wirenuts. Really makes my day.

That's when you knock out the back of the box to make more room. :smile:

I wonder if all the years of backstabbing receptacles is what drove us to having AFCI breakers now?

Depends on.....?

Depends on all of us when we get old enough.
