cables to sockets

[Shakey]

If yer origional sparks left them so short then if i couldnt pull any slack i would rewire the whole lot,one socket might be a mistake,but all of them ?,rip it all out and start again,and crimping solid core cables is in my opinion cr@p and as ive said before it used to say on the packet "only to be used on stranded cables,connectors would be better but i wouldnt do it
have fun

hurrah!

I was waiting for the mighty Rum with his 'rewire the world' morals

Crimps ARE a recognised method of joining cables.

I have a very good ratchet crimping tool. You will not seperate the conductors afterwards. And in the ideal world, there would be no junction boxes, no crimps, no connectors, nothing to fail or break.

Then we can all go home and have tea and crumpets.

Would you run a lighting supply cable THROUGH a back box, without connecting it, just as a convenient route? The regs say you can, and it may not feel right, but think about, why not? what would the danger be?

And why not use a perfectly good crimp connection that is suited to the task it has been selected for?

Just what I have always had drummed into me and it would be very difficult for me to go against that
