MK rapidfix, GAME CHANGER

GBDamo · Aug 12, 2021

MK have hit the market first with a lever connection based double socket.

I for one will be all over them as they are not too differently priced, £5.99.

Apologies, they're dry liners. Never read previous convo properly the first time.

I'm fortunate enough to live somewhere where 90% of properties I deal with are stud walls/kit or service-voided so it's very rare I'll use anything other than dry-liners or surface boxes.

i'm delighted to inform you that our house (1956 build) does not have a single solitary stud wall, nor any dot and dab crap.

The times I've seen that

Had a bit of a play today, the terminals don't really grip the wires very well, a bit of a twist and they fall out! They only seem to grip the very end of the conductor. The terminals do grip 7/.029 a bit better than solid 2.5mm but it still pulls out easily. Think I'll stick to the screw terminals.

Appreciate that update. They were literally on my shopping list for this week. Still I, m disappointed to hear as the idea is really good. Its mayby just me but I am still not completely won over by the lever operated wago, s.Happy enough using them on low load circuits whereas on a higher loaded circuits I prefer using the older 773,s. I have complete confidence in the 773,s when used with solid core. They are quite literally a "solid" job.

Opposite for me. Much more trust in Wago lever than push in. I like where you can see the cable right through the connector.

You can see that in the 773,s as well

So? It's just an improvement with their previous lever units.

As that previous thread a while back, I really go for the busbars in 'em.............................? ?.....honest.
