In answer to your question, I would carry them, yes.
Very impressed.
And they sell a cable stripping tool which looks good too.

Is continuity only made when the ends are pressed in - and vice versa?

Earth sleeving???

Does the stripper do all of this:

in one operation?

They certainly look very clever and very impressive. I must get one or two to play with!

I wonder if they are considering a 32A 2.5mm² verison of the 'splitter' one - since that would seem an obvious thing to offer.

Earth sleeving???

Given that it's all enclosed, and the conductors maintained in precise posutions relative to one another, I don't think there's a need, is there? The CPC is in exactly the same situation as regards L & N conductors, and the outside world, as is the case within the T&E isn't it?

Kind Regards, John

As for the stripper, see the very start of the video on their website. It's technically 'two operations', but all over in about 1 second

 

[ban-all-sheds]

the fact that it only accepts T/E is going to be a bit of a show stopper when it comes to lights pre-wired with flex, or designed to only accept flex.

Not quite....but two very quick ones!

They reckon the cable can be prepped and inserted within 7 seconds.

Dunno. Not checked with meter.

Earth sleeving???

Yeah, I thought of that.
They do say if you put sleeving on SL, to make it no longer than the conductor insulation. So I guess you could do the same with the earth sleeve.
I'll look at it.

 

[securespark]

No, you can't...the CPC aperture in the JB is too small.

 

[JohnW2]

Yeah, I thought of that. They do say if you put sleeving on SL, to make it no longer than the conductor insulation. So I guess you could do the same with the earth sleeve.

As I wrote earlier, I don't really see why it would be necessary. As I said, the design of the device is seemingly such that the 'bare' bit of the CPC is really in no different a situation from that which exists throughout the cable.

Kind Regards, John

It was a joke John; I even put a smiley for you.

You did - but I thought the smiley related to the fact that you thought you might be opening up a can of worms, not that it was intended to be a joke, per se.

Anyway, it's not just me - smiley or not, secure also seems to have taken your question relatively seriously

Kind Regards, John

I have four on the van, i got them to connect some small downlights as the T and E looked short and I thought they would make it easier.
Howevever i arrived on site to use them, only to find as BAS says they do not acccept flex so as the downlights were prewired i resorted to using Hagar J804 boxes instead.
Mine are 2 months old now and unlike the current ones are not MF marked, so if you need that, ensure the ones you buy are newer stock.
The splitter is £5.47 and the other £5.99

in one operation?

That reminds me of the Facom stripper, it cuts and strips wire in a single operation (not multicore though).
Very clever indeed, I would love a set, but the price is eye watering!!

Watch from 6:05.....
