Much better than choc bloc in any application where it may thermally cycle or shake loose - we use them a lot in vehicle/ genset settings - if you want them tidy ,they make little brackets that can be screwed to the wall of a box or clipped to a DIN rail, but it is rarely necessary.

or for the smaller bodied ones order part nr 221-500
...Having thought about this a bit more, if spring-loaded lever operated connectors are reliable and don't come loose due to thermal or vibration effects, should they not be integrated into wiring accessories instead of screwed type terminals? Also, what about MCBs? No doubt that they would need a more robust version but I could see lever operated terminals being quite convenient and safer!
