What model number of Wago? Genuine 'Wago' brand or lookalike? What type of conductors?

from trade shop there 222 there grab tight but wiggle loosely

like this here they are loose in the plastic grib tight inside but i can wiggle them across another wires housing slot

Check the spec for the Wagos you're using - if the cable is suitable it should be griped tightly. There are lots of Wago 'clones' on the market - is this trade shop the sort of place that might stock them, either intentionally or unwittingly?

There should also only be one cable per terminal.

The wires will rotate if that's what you mean however they won't pull out.

Something not right here as Wago 222s have separate terminals for each wire. There's physically no way you could wiggle wires between them - either wires aren't correctly stripped and inserted or these aren't made by Wago.

nah dont get me wrogn the copper doesnt move, but look at housing they have plastic ridges for the wires to sit in, and they on there dont sit in them there not tight fit plastic to plastic so the wires bend over

yeah like i can spin them wiggle them cant pull em out but there not like ... ive always made sure wire are secure,,, these dotn feel secure,..
told there the safest thing to use.. safer thtan screw blocks, is that correct or can i order somtihing tha doesnt feel as flimsey? or do i just ignore it and trust it ?
