Bought some sockets today, put the 2.5mm in, tightened the screw, the

What would a proper electrician do in this circumstance?
I folded the cable double but not really happy. Is this a common 'problem'?

Wouldn't mind if i'd got them at the pound shop but they came from an
electrical wholesaler.


Care to name the brand and model number of the sockets?
