Screw terminals always work loose which is why they aren't used on

Screw terminals are very common on mains wiring, from a few amps to
thousands of amps. Even crimped lug connections are held on terminals by
nuts and bolts.


Nuts and bolts aren't screw terminals and they use lugs not wires.
They are significantly different.
