HitLights - 12 Pack 8mm Solderless 2 Pin LED Connector, Clear LED Tape Connector with Screwdriver Strip for 12V 24V Single Color LED Light Strips

These are a game changer. Make sure you lightly scrape off with a razor the copper on the led strip as there is a coating on it. These are very small, inconspicuous, and work great. Highly recommend! We use to just buy piles of strips as none of the available connectors worked as well as the factory soldered connection. This is a nice and small screw in block that works perfectly!

These connectors are great. Used 16 in my kitchen LED strip solution and haven’t experienced any issues. Comes with a screw driver to fit the terminal posts. The led strips still push in after removing the backing tape which is nice and when fully tightened the terminals hold solid. I recommend using a larger electronics screw driver to get these properly tightened. I stuck the tiny screw driver through my finger when it slipped off, so I also recommend tightening against a solid surface rather than in your hand. Great product - ordered again.

Work ok, but I have used them on a couple types of strip lights. The strip lights slide out from the connector screws quite easily. Even when very tight.

These worked fine for me. I happened to already own a set of small screwdrivers so I used one of those. I agree with other reviews that say the included screwdriver might be tough to use. I'm writing this review to give you one hint.... Pushing the 8mm COB light strip into the connector is difficult, as the light strip is sort of spongy and it wants to pop back out. What I found worked REALLY well was to find a nice, square edge that I could push the connector up against and shove the COB light strip into it while I tighten the screws. This allowed me to hold it firmly in place until the screws were tightened. In my case, I was putting the light strips above and below kitchen cabinets, so I used a carving board shoved up against the tile backsplash on my kitchen counter. See photo below.

I really wanted to like the concept, but the included screws and screwdriver made the entire process a nightmare. The screwdriver stripped almost immediately and the screws would not tighten properly, resulting in loose connections and unreliable performance.
