Wago for extending 10mm cable

[Welsh_sparky_21]

Wondering if there is a maintenance free wago for extending 10mm cables? Tried searching and couldn’t find anything. I prefer a wago to a through crimp

Wago do make various connectors for 10mm cable but I'm not sure if any of them would be rated for an MF connection.

Why don't you want to use crimps?

Just prefer the wagos, feel it’s a more solid connection

Proper crimps are about as solid as you get. But you need the correct tool, and also something like heatshrink for insulation, as well as some sort of box to provide physical support of the cable.

I have a few melted wagos used on an immersion heater circuit, no problem since crimping.

10mm butt connectors a hydraulic crimper and heat shrink in an enclosure would be my go to, or one of the click oval jbs if its accessible? I hate joining anything though and renew where possible

If accessible I would go for either of these as you say (Click WA220 or Knightsbridge SN8470) as they have the double screw terminals that always seem more reliable (like the old Wylex boards):
