MK LOGIC RAPID FIX

Anyone tried the new MK sockets with lever terminals?

Obvious failing to my eyes is only 3 PE terminals - if you're spurring off from a ring and prefer to have a fly-lead to the back box then you're going to need 4. (OK you could loop one of the c.p.c.s through the back box terminal if you're using reduced size c.p.c.s. (e.g. T&E) - but it's a bit messy and probably isn't going to work with full sized c.p.c.s. as most many back box terminals won't take more than one larger conductor).

The thing I like the idea of with screwless terminals in general, is that, if the idea is implemented properly, the retaining force on the copper is theoretically maintained as the copper (being soft) slowly distorts over time, whereas with a simple clamping screw the terminal connection naturally comes loose over time.
Whether this is just a fantasy in my mind, only time will tell. Being an engineer you get to thinking there's some issue or another with any solution.
