Well...... if you have a situation where you need to make joints in a
place that won't be accessible again, then crimps are an approved
joint and anything with screw terminals is not.



I agree with the concept, but IME crimping solid wire with Screwfix
red/blue/yellow receptacles and a ratchet tool produces a crap joint.
IMO to get a decent crimp with solid wire, you need a hex or AMP type
crimp and much thicker walled receptacles. The cheap terminals are just
about OK with stranded wire, but again do not achieve the wire grip
performance achievable with an industrial crimping system.
