out of curiosity does anyone use them ideal twist one's?

Got some 'free' in a set of assorted Ideal 'in sure' connectors, I'm very wary of trying them though as twisting cables together seems a bit dodgy to me - then again I've seen hundreds of the old porcelain 'screwits' in JBs over the years which haven't gone wrong- all on lighting though. These new 'twisters' are allegedly rated at 41 amps !:confused:
 
wirenuts or screwits are designed for stranded cables, not the solid core shyte that we're palmed off with these days.
 
Haha! I seen a sparky who is now working for the same guy i used to subby for using them, they looked awful, twisting your conductors together then screwing one of them on, watching was nearly painful, i like my terminations neat, they are far from it!
 
A good electrician can make a sound connection with almost anything. However, given the choice, a good electrician will choose a proper connector rather than a wirenut. These things have been setting fire to stuff in the US for years, not sure why we need to start doing the same over here.
