Old Wagos vs new push-in connectors on a commercial job last week

I had two identical lighting circuits to wire in a strip mall outside Phoenix. Used the old lever Wagos on one and the cheap push-in connectors from the hardware store on the other. The push-in ones had two connections fail during testing, so I had to redo the whole run. Anyone else had bad luck with those push-in connectors on 12 gauge?

@drew_thomas9 nailed it, those push-in connectors are garbage with 12 gauge.

Man that's brutal. Push-in connectors on 12 gauge are just asking for trouble.
