You say the cost is minimal but its another piece you need when you make

too often it just separates stranded wire and the bloomin thing falls to

to stop wires coming out the sides.

That's why you twist the strands up before you insert the cable.
The terminal should be as full as possible (with conductor).

Problem comes when you have to insert two wires into the same hole that's when it becomes a real pain. Such as when I needed to get the two earths into this.
Why have only 5 connections when you should really have 6.

Think I'll give it a low review later.
