I have used Crabtree for years. It's still ok, but I just don't like their sockets, as they stick out quite a bit compared to say MK or even the Lap ones.

Which brand is good to use? I do like the look of MK, but it's a bit expensive. I tend to buy in bulk and keep it in stock.
 
Hager sollysta is pretty good, the amount of packaging and these little white covers are a bit of a pain but look good when fitted,
Prices are ok online with most wholesalers stocking them also if you get caught short of stock
 
I've been using Click Mode for years too, decent quality accessories. But recently I've been trying Niglon, they're all but identical to the Click but even better value.
 
Been using Click Mode for a good while now with no problems,
The interchangeable plate switches mean you configure them to your exact requirement
 
sticking with these till something better comes up. obviously i use the plugs with the fuse L pin to comply with curre nt regs. ??

Click mode for me as well. Generally because of the versatility of being able to change modules in the switches.
Who are you? ?

Cheers all, reckon I'll give click a go. I checked out a few older threads and it was pretty much identical suggestions. 80% click, 15% Hagar and 5% other.
