    Installed it and it went perfectly thanks to you, didn't even know this type of switch existed until yesterday.
  • Great video explaining how to do this. I needed to put a combo into the light switch in my attic. Followed your directions and it worked perfectly. Thanks for posting this video.
  • @jma3586
    You really saved me with this video. I was doing exactly this and the instructions that came with the switch seemed really confusing to me. I followed your instructions step by step and now I have an extra outlet and a pilot light to know when the attic lights are on. Thank you so much 👍🏼
  • Thank you for this and thank you for the break down explaining each step and showing it slowly and clearly.
  • @tobytoby60
    Thank you, You saved me lots of time with this installation.
  • @larryword4336
    This is the one! Like anther person commented, I needed an outlet in my attic. The combination switch/outlet was by far the easiest option to add an outlet. Your video gave me the confidence that I needed to install it myself. Thank you.
  • @liza3337
    Thanks! I kept searching for this. Everyone else's was complicated, wanted the switch to control the outlet. Thanks so much.
  • @grattanh1
    You are a miracle worker. thank you will be watching and liking in the future

    Thanks for making this video. I was able to complete my task. Beginner mistakes I made. 1. I bought a Leviton 20 Amp combo switch assuming they were all the same screw configuration. Besides the screws being in a different spot, I had to use the loop over the screw technique rather than what you were able to do. I found it to be a real time consumer. 2. There were already 3 #12 common wires in the red screw nut and rather than do what you said and cut them all back and screw all 4 fresh cuts together I tried to just add my pig tail to the existing three. It didn't work and I finally did as you instructed and it did work. Comments: That Volt Claw tool was indispensable. I never new it existed until you showed me. I never new about the line and load wires or how and why to test them. Thanks to you I now know

    Great, informal video. I'm somewhat of an ADHD handyman. Jack of all trades, because I grew up in a household where we couldn't afford licensed contractors. Electricity is the only thing I've never messed with, for what I consider to be obvious reasons. Now that I'm in my own home, I plan on (overly cautiously) re-doing the wiring. The house isn't grounded, and every outlet is (was, I replaced a few upon moving in) the original 2 prong fixture. Some of which, are so brittle to the touch that they crumble if you remove the screws. I've noticed Wago connectors are a bit of a "hot topic" amongst electricians and diyers. Old timers claim they're fire hazards, new timers claim they're safe and the old timers just don't want to be out of work, diyers just use them... cause they make logical sense. My question is, are there any known codes preventing them from being used? Everyone always gives the speech about "checking your local code" but that's such a specific thing to have to look for. I've never heard Wago connectors being involved in any code, for or against.
