Product preference

[Rob Smith 643]

Currently a Wago user but considering the Line equivalent in a push fit (keeping the cost down and all that). Any preferences among forum members who have used both brands?

Cheers

I use the lever connectors mainly and i can't see a difference in them, the line junction boxes are superb

seconded.

I have used both and can't see any difference between the push connectors. I also prefer line boxes to wago boxes.

Line, wago and heller man are all as good as each other !!

i've had some dodgy 5 port lever ones this week. not sure if they're line or wagos. have to check them.

Are they black with red levers?

 

[telectrix]

nope, grey with orange

That's a wago mate, they are really good!, the black and red are made by SWA and are crap!

check their real Tel....as it wasn`t long after the lever wago`s came out that our chinese friends were busy at it again...
Phil (mod) showed me some...oh about a year back now....very similar to the real thing....thats until you looked closely..and operated the levers...

the ones i have are either from wagobox or line, so won't be counterfeit, i hope. it seems as though the lever doesn't lift the clamp properly, so the cable ends don't go in right.

It's not a proper bodge unless it's red, anyone knows that.
