I accept that. Just that I'm always wary of brass screws and threads.
They're not very strong.


They are, for all practical purposes. Like I said, get one and test it to
destruction.

Over the years I have had several brass screws fail - typically one half of
the head simply flying off. OK - typically duraplugs rather than fixed
wiring.

I have just fitted some GET sockets (from TLC) and these have had the
firmest, most confidence-inspiring screws/wire clamping I have used.
Excellent.
