minus-squarevaryingExpertise@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoThey are the best. Did my entire home installlation using them, it was such a breeze compared to Lüsterklemmen, whatever they are called in English.
minus-squareikidd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoI generally see the old style called Marrettes. It’s a brand name that was the only supplier in Canada for a long time.

minus-squarevaryingExpertise@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoHm, nah, I meant these: https://files.catbox.moe/k8mgc0.png Not great, because if they change temperature a lot or are over torqued they lose pressure after a while.
