I long for the day that one of my local sheds stock them and I don't have to do an online order to get them...! They deserve to be as well known as Wago now are.

In my dreams you will one day make friends with Quinetic - a quickwire switch and load connector incorporating a Quinetic receiver would be a killer product ;-)

Can you send me a quick link to the Quintec product you'd like to see Quickwire on? Or will it be obvious if I go Google hunting?

Well, it involves your friends TLC....!

Quinetic have revolutionised domestic lighting installs and retro-fitting lighting, and they go perfectly hand in hand with your products. A quick look on youtube will fill in the blanks.

Some people no longer run switch wires at all in rewires:

Awesome, Thanks Tim. I'll show it to the team and educate myself. Cheers

It is something we're looking at soon. We can't do emergency lighting stuff without something for 3 core, and that's holding back big projects for some of our larger contractors we work with. Problem is there is a lot of extra tooling needed to make a lot of different parts. We're looking at it though! - How did you use them the other day out of interest? As in what application?

I too keep wishing for a 3core and earth splitter, and 3core and earth T connector! I've used so many Quickwire junction boxes this year brilliant design.

 

[vjsmarwick]

I've always thought their products deserve to be better known as they are excellent.
So hopefully this will raise their profile a bit too.

(will there ever be a 2.5 sq mm T+E splitter ...?!)

I’ve used all quickwire’s products and loved them all and I too have asked them about a 2.5mm splitter!
Sadly for me it will be to late as I’m now a relaxing spark !
Not yet pension age but no longer fit for use lol
Anyway like everyone I hope they keep developing and increasing their lines because I know how much I enjoyed their stuff and still have some in my shed just incase !

 

[vjsmarwick]

What a bloody good question, and there is quite a long backstory to this one... In short, getting it through BS testing has been a real learning curve. Keeping the temperature low on a product that takes power in something as small as Quickwire is no easy task; the tests it has to undergo are rigorous, to say the least. Not to mention, we've found many solutions on the market that don't hold up to the tests in reality. It's been a real eye-opener. Anyway, we've resolved all the issues now, and we have the safest, quickest, and most reliable 2.5 JB on the way (that wasn't meant to sound as sales-y as it did; apologies). We were supposed to launch at the beginning of this year, but now we're looking at November. Attached is an image of the two variations.

Was reading your comment above about the heat problems and was going to suggest doubling up the wire grips inside lol then read you’ve already mastered it ! I may get a few when available just a shame they’re arriving as I’m cutting back to just family jobs due to I’ll health but best of luck with your future I’ve certainly loved using your products over the past several years !

These are amazing. Used these instead of the surewire which appear to be like gold dust.

You may have already found them, but they're now available on Quickwire's site.

I asked the local wholesaler and apparently they have some of the new stuff on the way.

ordered some direct from quickwire....got them last week

@Quickwire-Sam
Just to say the new 2.5mm products are game changers when moving consumer units and I'm loving them.

And a question. I've presumed that the 2.5mm products shouldn't be used on the older 2.5mm twin and earth from the 70's with a 1mm CPC. Is that right?

 

[impish15]

Cheers, Chris! We actually have a nice surprise in that case... because we have V2 of those strippers coming out in about 2 or 3 weeks. Just waiting on arrival at base.

Anyone bought/used/replaced the blades on v2 yet? Thinking of getting it just want some feedback first

 

[pirate]

I have V2 and like them a lot. They are a recent buy so haven't had any need to change the blades. I've done a fair bit of work with them and really rate them highly, but of course no strippers can do everything! On t&e for which they are designed, they are brilliant. As always, the quality of the cable can be a problem. Some you have to take a few bits of sheath off at a time (crap cable) and some you can take a couple of feet off.
