What do you`s think of hager consumer units

[Jaxo]

I have nearly always used MK consumer units but recently started using a new supplier who doesnt stock MK.. They said they have Hager boards but im not sure about them, last time I one them was about 10-12 years ago and didnt like it.

From what I remember the cover was very flimsy, the plastic cover screws broke easily and the mcb`s where a nightmare to get straight..

Have they got any better since then ?

In fairness the one they showed me in the wholesalers seemed pretty solid...

Good quality board Crabtree , I mostly use them and all crabtree fittings ,

I gave you a like Ray for the consumer unit ,the sockets are an entirely different matter

I consider what was once the best socket by far, to be now an insult to quality and practicality,the modern design is by far the worst there is out there,so bad that I refuse to have anything to do with them and would not fit them even if they were supplied to me for pennies

Merlin or Schneider as I believe they are now known are superb Dist Boards. I love the slide locks on the bus bars, nice touch, and if you do no nasty belts. And what are you doing working on a live board any way. You bad sparky you, turn all those office computers off right now.

Only used a hager domestic once and didn't like it. Can't see past hager though for any commercial work. For domestic it's always crabtree starbreaker. Never any messing about trying to get the cover back on and so easy to add or change mcb's.

We use Hagar for all our boards.

I don't have much time for ANY push fit breaker boards. Fine while everything is working well when new, but further down the line they can be a real headache to remove a breaker and tend not to have the same connection quality when replacing a breaker....

Quite right Des, crabtree was the best s/o on the market, in fact it was no1 for me then mk.
