This one!! lol!!

Pretty sure the older style examples used to be a screwed connection rather than just relying on a grub screw connetion to the gland, but hey ho that's the way of the world these days.... lol!!

 

[telectrix]

hope the real ones are threaded. lol.

I thought they had a screw thread. They’re no damn good the slightest strain and the gland will pull out.

I seem to recall someone saying they were an improvement. Can’t say I’m impressed.

They are designed for the wiska adaptable box, the knockouts in the box have a thread.

Anything is classed as an improvement these days if it means making things easier!! They don't seem to ever be too fussed about the loss of the actual construction strength and the like....

The poll makes no mention of Wiska boxes.

Banjo outside of enclosure
Banjo inside of enclosure
Piranha lock nut every time

So to use a Piranha locknut on a conventional box you need a locknut. That really makes sense.
About as much sense as this thread.

 

[telectrix]

us a pirhana instead of a conventional nut and banjo.

No a piranha locknut is exactly what is says on the tin a locknut hence it has a thread.

 

[telectrix]

to be truthful, it's not a locknut, it's a nut. the grubscrews provide the locking.

Tomato/tamato lol

 

[telectrix]

tomatoes don't have earth connection. they grow above ground. potatoes, on the other hand, do.

Not voted in the poll as it depends on the box type you are glanding to. See a lot of banjo's externally on IP rated boxes with a hole drilled through the casing compromising the IP rating.
Use the pirana or earth nuts on plastic boxes makes installs quicker and neater and no IP is compromised.they are over a £1 each but worth it.
Not seen the wiska brass plates but they look good to me as putting any type of lock nut internally inside the box is a fiddly job due to the prethreaded holes. Cheers Leesparkykent will give them a try
