Quality outlets for non-audio

Leviton was my least favorite when redoing our apartment approx. 18 years ago.

I purchased a box of Hubbell 8200 and 8300 outlets (like new pulls) and used  some of the 8200's for regular outlets.

I also used some Arrow-Hart, Eagle and P&S outlets left over from HiFi experimentation.

All the above had a much stronger grip than the Leviton's I tried, plus I was replacing old Levitons that were worn/loose.

PS:

Read current reviews as things change.

I need to replace a 19 month old Delta kitchen faucet that's developing pinholes and other leaks.

The previous one (same model) lasted 8 years.

DeKay for what it's worth I've had very good luck with Moen for both kitchen and bath fixtures.

Eric I replaced all of our outlets 15 years ago.I don't remember the brand, but I just chose the brand that felt and looked sturdy from HomeDepot. They still grip tightly, even the ones used most often.

I think all of the manufacturers make contractor-grade devices, and that's what I avoid. The better devices grip better and are more durable, but they cost more than the cheapie units. Hubbell and Leviton have both served me well.
