[QUOTE="Riggy, post: 175070, member: 71"] Interesting experiment, thankyou. The next sensible step would be check on the electrical performance of the joints, mechanical strength is important of course, but I'm of the opinion if they pass the fat bloke test (i.e. me pulling on them) they're good enough - certainly for in a consumer unit! If the contact area is (as I suspect) less on the push-fits, I'd be concerned about there long term performance. I know this is only my prejudice, but there you go! [/QUOTE]
