Good if you don't have to remove one.
First of all, it works GREAT if you have no flaws or never need to take it off. Unfortunately, my old wiring broke (inside its insulation) when putting these on and I wasn't sure what the problem was, so I had to take several off to find the fault, and that got messy very quickly. The new cable turned out to use thicker wire than the original I was splicing into which was another complication. These appear to make very good water-proof seals on the wired nuts. I ended up using them on 22 gauge wire, 18 gauge wire, and a combination of the two. Tips: 1) If splicing in new cable, try to get the same gauge if possible. I couldn't find the original gauge wire and so ended up using a larger one - this made nutting the wires together a bit harder. Twisting the wires together and trimming them before adding the wire nut helped a lot. 1) If you are wiring up a sprinkler system cable that contains many wires, be sure to leave A LOT of room from the cutting the cable sheath to the end of the individual wires - I suggest about 4 inches. If you are splicing, then 4 inches on both sides. I had 2 inches and it just didn't work leading to a real mess. You need room to work the individual wires. 2) Cut about 1/2 inch of insulation off the individual wires to be nutted together and I suggest twisting them and trimming the end to be even before putting on the nut, this ended up helping a lot using different gauge wires. On the same gauge wire it didn't seem to matter as much. 3) Test the system BEFORE putting on the grease plug. This seems obvious but its easy to get ahead of yourself. 4) If you have left yourself plenty of room (by cutting 4 inches off the outer cable insulation) than putting on the grease plugs is a snap. I did not and really regretted it. The room I had to work in was tight, and I ended up unknowingly breaking an old brittle 22 gauge wire in the process. Things went much better on my second try having learned my lessons. 5) If for any reason you have to pull a grease plug out, I strong suggest you clean the mess on the wires using alcohol and throwing the old plug out, using a new one when the repair is done. I tried reusing already messy plugs and again, regretted it. It isn't worth it. You end up with a half filled grease plug and a poorly protected wire nut. 6) In the future if I end up having to redo a splice, I will cut away the old wire plug and just start fresh on fresh wire.

Excellent Product for Underground Burial
I use these grease caps for low voltage landscape lighting and repairing buried invisible dog fences. I've never had an issue. I like the way the grease cap snaps close further protecting the electrical connection from the elements. I highly recommend these caps.

Grease and water don't mix so this will protect the electrical connection
I used 4 of these on my sprinkler system. After twisting the wires together and putting an orange nut on top, the trick is to push these deep into the grease tube to the point that grease comes up over the orange nut.

Good for very small and flexible wires. Can be hard to close
To be honest, i've stopped using these. The closing snap is not reliable, and they cannot accommodate larger or stiffer wires well, and will not accommodate three wires. If you have a smaller gauge (e.g. 14 or smaller) flexible wire they'll probably work alright. I've resumed using grease wire nuts, or crimping with grease caps.

The wire nuts do not fit inside the grease caps.
The grease caps work fine, but the wire nuts shipped with this package are too large to fit in the grease caps. Just ignorant and annoying.

Easy to use and should work for many years
Orbit WaterMaster Underground 57505W Grease Cap With Orange Nut, 25-Pack I was looking for a way to waterproof the electrical connections to my sprinklers and came across this product. I have had problems with the sprinkler valves not working as the wiring into the sprinklers had become corroded. The product arrived in a sealed bag. The grease caps were a lot bigger than I thought they would be. See picture. The caps themselves are easy to use and allowed me to fit in 3 different wires in one sealed cap. I used a little bit bigger wire (16 gauge) and put each connection to the sprinkler in a sealed cap. The common wire (or white wire) is shared with each sprinkler and goes from valve to valve. I also used the grease caps for each valve to the distribution box. I installed this product two months ago and haven’t had a short out ever since. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to ensure there sprinkler system lasts for years to come. Let me know if you have any questions about this product or my review.

Very good product!
I used these for outdoor landscape lights. The wires and connectors are under stones and rocks right out there in the weather. Only been about a month but so far, so good. I really do not expect any problems as the gel inside these caps will keep any moisture away from the connections. I highly recommend this product!

Easier to use than expected.
I had never used grease caps before but I got these when I had to totally rewire my 14 station lawn irrigation system. They installed far easier than I had expected (based on some reviews I had read). They even worked well for the ground circuits where 4 to 6 wires were joined together in one cap. As others have said, finish all your wiring and completely test your system BEFORE installing the caps. You don't want to be pulling these things off and redoing them once you have installed them. The grease could get very messy.

Caps don’t stay closed
Caps don’t stay closed and simply will not accommodate larger wires or 3 wires (for daisy chaining)
