I can now do a junction "box" mf in 20 secs, switch loop and feed

So, although as you know, I am not a tool tart I have invested in this little time saver. As you can see from the piccy you have two splitters and two switch JB and stripper (up to 2.5mm² T&E) but the jb only take 1mm/1.5mm². This is a wise investment not just a tool for a week and then gets left somewhere. Remember a tool is for life not just christmas.

I looked at those a while back. Would appreciate a review when you've had a chance to use them.

Edit:- Just to add, I like the look of them because of their small size. Useful for when a client wants a ceiling rose replacing with a fancy lamp. Currently use a Wagobox or a Click lighting connector, but they need a big hole to get them into the ceiling void. The QuickWire looks quite a bit smaller, making it an easier task.

just watched their video. looks good. onlything is you can't use them for flex( e.g. with downlights).

A small word of caution; I have just used one, tried it out and once they are closed you can't open them without a tool and they do not include on in the "starter" set. The strippers are Jokari and they do spare blades for them. What I do like is you can put them through a much smaller opening than a wago. Wagos' begone haha. Nah I will still use them. But mf has got to be good.

with downlights

I reckon you can as most downlights come with a connector box for 6242y to feed the light off into flex on the output side.

Aha just cracked how to undo them once you have clicked them in. Pull out the coloured clips at both sides.

given you say 20 seconds then i think a short video is in order demonstrating this technique so you can pass on skills to us youngsters!

Thats me doing a quick demo for you.

What’s the cost of them per joint ?

 

[The Ghost]

Notionally £4.00 but negotiable in numbers. But say if I do 10 lights the "old" way in the ceiling rose loop in loop out etc. say 10 mins per. 1 hour and 40 mins. Labour £58.00 say 2 mins per quickwire x 10 20 mins Labour £12. I think it may work cost wise if I buy in numbers. Marginal I agree but...mmm I am weighing it up at the moment. Just when I had mastered getting the rose to look perfect wiring wise!
