Wago type connectors on sockets

There was a recent conversation on here about why sockets do not have Wago like connectors, well it looks like someone took note.

MK have produced new sockets that are precisely like that with what appear as moulded in Wago lever style connectors capable of holding three conductors each and managed to design it so it only needs a minimum 25mm back box.

I was going to say, given that efixx posited these a while back, surprised they hadn't made a video on them ...

That just leaves the apprentice's only having to learn how to f*ck up the threads on the back box screws then.

Or f*ck up the side of a new van with dead locks fitted. Stupid bastard locked the dead lock with the door open and then slammed the door closed.

That is a design flaw, In fact, I think its a problem with many locks. Surely it should be possible to have a lock that can still be shut when its locked?

As for sockets. This sounds like good news, but all I need now is tactile sleaving and we could have blind electricians!

That just leads to people locking their keys in - and a whole lot more trouble ... especially if they are in the middle of nowhere and their phone is locked in as well.
