I have installed thousands of them. Just use the good stuff. I use Ideal brand. I have been known to twist my wires and then wirenut it just to be sure, but you are not supposed to do that. Just tighten them very well.
I’ve never seen one fail.
Cast I have a short attention spa

WAGO's like in the video above suck.
Wirenuts are trustworthy, Just twist your wires together prior to installing the wirenut. Use a pair of Klien Journeyman pliers to twist your wires.

How do you know if your nuts are the appropriate size?
