Not that I have ever used them and likely never will

They are surely not designed for solid core conductors ?
I am presuming that solid core was the case

I wouldn't of thought so myself, but many of the Yanks wire and cables are indeed solid core. They need to be, as the standard terminal connection on their over sized light switches and dual socket outlets are by means of wrapping round a captive screw!! That's Yanks for you... lol!!

Thank you matt for that link
It seems my thoughts were wrong and they are for solid core as explained by eng 54

The guy did a good demonstration.but twisting a solid core in that way would make me feel very uneasy and I can well understand the building inspector saying "not on my patch"
if I were him,it would be the same action

They've never been any good. Screwit's bought out a plastic version 30 years ago. Wouldn't trust them at all.
