What type of maintenance free push in connectors does everyone buy. I go through these like im eating them, use them for everything and love them.
I will never use anpther brand apart from Wago on the slimline lever reuseable connectors which are rated at 32A and perfect in every way.

However on the push in single use ones does everyone use wago? Ive been looking at the Ideal ones which are rated at 32A as opposed to the 24A the wagos are rated at. Ive been using the new slimline Wagos recently but there 30 percent more expensive than the Ideals. I believe the manufacturer SWA also do a similar product, anyone have any experiance with them?

Looking to buy ma few hubdred of each of the 2 pole, 3 pole and 4 poles connectors but thought id get some other opinions before buying a years worth.

I remember when the first push fit wagos came out about the early 2000s

In UK wholesalers maybe. They were available from the likes of RS before that, and going further back I used to throw a few boxes in my suitcase when returning from Europe. I think they were invented in the 1950s but as usual in the UK we're a bit slow to adopt new materials.

I'm not into Wagoboxes though, I don't like the design, but it matters not, as they aren't needed for conduit work and I don't give a flying spoon about MF. They aren't used on the continent either.

Never bought or used a single Wago to this date
I have removed a couple I found on a job
I replaced those with crimps,it gave me a feeling of it being a far superior method of making a safe connection

Fair enough TC..but these days sparks can't be trusted to install them correctly(I presume)
Then again, 'heating engineers' are a completely different animal.
Get this from last year, at a mates house. Installing a new boiler, breaking into a ring final circuit and doing it under the floor boards directly below the CU. (2 spare ways)

I'd say 90% of traditional JBs I have ever come across have not been fitted correctly, not fixed and with no strain relief for terminations. Found heaps of faults within JBs due to poor installation and/or the nature of the terminals.
I don't think standards have always been as impeccable as some like to think.
