Newlec (Ross electrical) sold me these over a year ago.

They currently sell something almost identical in the UK.

D'you have to twist the wires together? [Yuk.....]

I last saw these on the flu fittings in my Mum's kitchen that were installed in 1963...

The ones I saw on display could be put on without you yourself having to twist the wires. Joined 4 2.5 mm2 solids (already stripped) without any tools.

Didn't buy any tho.

I think these are only any use on stranded conductors. Wouldn't like to use them on solid!

I see they do IP55 ones but

couldn't find MF.

They've been in most of our wholesales for the last 12 months, with a demo box on the counter with 6inch pre cut lengths of solid 2.5mm. They hold tight, but I'm yet to be convinced.

They are commonplace in the USA, I believe, and used all the time on Romex, so they must be sound, given how fantastic their standards are.

I detect a certain soupcon of something there, Ban.
