MK Electric Rapid Fix Screwless Termination Double Socket, White Moulded, 2G 13 Amp K2747STWHI

Well made socket that is a dream to fit. Replaced one in minutes. No fiddling about when the conductors are short. Can be done with two hands instead of the usual three!

Really good to use and far better connection than normal screw type fittings. The future of terminations in electrical fittings and saves install time. Find these ideal where socket on a ring is being used to take a spur as there are three connections - and normally trying to ensure all three cables are secured in that situation is a challenge. Good quality connection guaranteed if used correctly. All read the instructions and isolate power first!

I am purely posting this review from seeing all the reviews were people have complained or something didn't work out quite right for them. I am not an electrician but I do know my stuff. I installed 5 of these in my new work from home office into some trunking and I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever. If you put your mind to it, pull the clamps back fully then put the wires into their destination then push down the clamps, you'll have no issues. Sometimes people just don't know what they are really doing and in turn, discourage others from trying a product just because they've left a negative review on it, purely because they didn't know what they were doing. They weren't following the instructions that were provided with the product. Those reviews genuinely put me off at the start, should I try these, should I not? I ended up trying them and they are amazing sockets.

Nice quality. It's easy to fit the wires in but you have to be careful. If they aren't in straight it looks like the wires have been gripped but they're not and can fall out. I ended up with a faulty earth! It's not as easy as a wago which is a shame, but as long as you test the wires are secure, I think it's worth it.

What can I say, this has to be the best designed double plug socket ever. No screwdriver is required to fit the wires in. These are pretty much idiot-proof. I saw these double sockets being fitted on a video on YouTube by ‘PROPER DIY’ this guy has uploaded loads of videos to help other DIY enthusiasts. Well worth watching. The MK double sockets themselves are clearly marked out on the back and allow individual fitting of each cable on the back without the need to wrap them round so no fiddling required. Well worth the money. Highly recommend.

Easy to use nice and quick installation very clever design

I like the way they look and in principle the quality looks sound, but 1 of them came broke - the switch wouldn't be pressed unless you would push hard. This can happen , however the more pressing issue was raised by the electrician who fitted them. While it is simpler to clip the wires in place - if you don't press hard the contact is weak - and nobody wants weak contacts - it seems less safe than a screw fitting. Other than that I appreciate the fact that they have dedicated contacts for extending the power line to the next socket.

I wanted a socket with the wire connections at the bottom and came across this. It is important to bend the holders right back so they stay in position and then close them to get a good grip, at first I was just lifting them and the wire was not going in and getting gripped. I would use these again especially nice having seperate entries for several wires instead of trying to get several wires into one hole
