A new Wire Nut With Self Locking Hot Wire Insert for providing a connector which allows an electric wire to be safely removed from other wires for testing without disturbing the electrical bond needed by the branch wires. The inventive device includes an insert wire socket, a release wire socket, an insulating means, a conductive means, a retainer means and an insulating pad means. In use, an electrical supply 11 is electrically connected to an electrical circuit having any number of typical components such as a control means 15, like a switch 16, and branch circuit wires 14 which are typically held together by wire nuts 17. A typical application for this electrical circuit is in a house where a "neutral" wire 18 (usually white in insulation color) and the hot wire 12 (usually black in insulation color) are employed for transfer of electrical power from the electrical supply 11 to the electrical circuit. The inventive device is the self locking wire nut 13 which, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, allows for easy wire assembly 50 or easy wire disassembly 60 with the additional use of a removal means 62 such as a flat head screw driver.
