Hi Andy

OK, Ta.

I must admit to being a fan of these:

discard the backnut and solder tag, and use this much more substantial nut in its place (which has small teeth on one side to grip the inner wall of the box - allowing the gland to be tightened with one spanner). You can then crimp a eye terminal on the end of your earth wire, and screw it to the side of the new nut with the supplied screw. Seems much simpler than needing to solder to a heavy tag "in the field" so to speak.

I suppose in a world where one wants to try and create unique selling points for what is otherwise a "me too" product, it is quite a clever idea. If you are ordering the things on a regular basis, you may opt for the one that gives you a bonus each time you use it!

(having said that, they are nice boxes anyway - the knockouts are made of a rubbery type material that you can easily trim out with a knife rather than needing a hole drill, decent terminals, and a sealing strip built in).

Ah. Now those are a good idea.
