Default Screwfix trade wiring accessories

Anybody here used the white trade range made by Marbo ? As in the
latest catlogue in particulary intrested in how easy or akward the
fused spur units are to wire up. I have used the other trade range they
did under the Select brand name and they where ok.

(if it's not too late)

I've used a couple of the Marbo ones. No worse than Select - one of the
screws is at an odd angle IIRC (I've a few left, but they're in the
garage and I'm not putting my shoes on again tonight...). All that means
is that you can't be too tight with the cables.

Hwyl!

Well i bought a five pack of 2G sockets to test out and they seem
alright so i shall be using them on the next job.
Worst item ive ever installed was a clipsal split load kit
plastic,flinsy and no space for routing cabling.

Dont know about the fused spurs, though I dont think I've ever come
across a f.s. that was hard to wire up. I've experienced FSs
overheating or with very stiff switches, but never problematic
connections.

But their budget plastic boxes are frankly crap, and break all over the
place. Wont buy them again, its money down the drain. Yes, all 20p of
it! (or whatever it was)
