What are the holes on an outlet for?
The holes on the back are there for quick wiring. You strip the wire and then insert it into the holes. It is held in place by spring tension. I do not recommend you wire the outlet by using these holes. From my experience the wires are not secure enough. Strip the wire and wrap it around the screws and tighten it securely which is what all the good electricians I know do. Takes a little longer but IMO it is more secure.
