In this video I am going to talk about how the old way of connecting outlets may be inferior and why you might want to think about using pigtails. If you don't know how to make a pigtail, I am going going to show you how I make mine and where I use them. Of course we always want to be mindful of our box calculations and not overfilling them so depending on the box you are using might affect which method you use.
