MKElectric Rapid Fix Screwless Termination Double Socket, White Moulded, 2G 13 Amp K2747STWHI

Well made socket that is a dream to fit. Replaced one in minutes. No fiddling about when the conductors are short. Can be done with two hands instead of the usual three!

Why did you choose this product over others?:Oh these are SO good. Especially if you're trying to connect 2 (or even 3) wires to the same socket. I wouldn't ever buy screw connect sockets again.

Fast delivery

I bought 1 of these for upgrading a single socket on a ring main to a double with a spur as like others it's useful having 3 terminals for L,N & E when you've got a spur off the socket. Socket and connections are good and springs are tight holding wires. The problem comes if your wires coming out of the wall are short as the terminals are low on the bottom of the socket, so you need wire length. I had to revert to using a standard double with screw terminals as these are located in the middle of the socket.Note that the screwless versions are made in Malaysia and the screwed versions are made in the UK. I've always bought MK sockets as they are generally of a high quality and it's nice to standardise on a brand where you can get all the accessories !

I am purely posting this review from seeing all the reviews were people have complained or something didn't work out quite right for them. I am not an electrician but I do know my stuff. I installed 5 of these in my new work from home office into some trunking and I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever. If you put your mind to it, pull the clamps back fully then put the wires into their destination then push down the clamps, you'll have no issues. Sometimes people just don't know what they are really doing and in turn, discourage others from trying a product just because they've left a negative review on it, purely because they didn't know what they were doing. They weren't following the instructions that were provided with the product. Those reviews genuinely put me off at the start, should I try these, should I not? I ended up trying them and they are amazing sockets.

Excellent so easy to fit and replace old type socket

Great price and good quality

Terrible double socket each and everyone one my wires kept on coming out had to go to the original one i aready had on the wall. Very disappointed with mk. This was just a tv double wall socket i had no sooner put the wires in pushed it back to screw in then all the wires just started to come out after almost a hour i gave up and threw it to one side.
