Being honest here, why is a question like this being asked by an "electrician"
This place does scare me sometimes with some questions being asked.

suprised no one said twist the cores together lol.

Trouble is sparks dont realise about floating connector blocks are not a good thing where as mechanical connections are ok.
nothing inside a CU should be floating about if it is a screw terminal

crimp it

insulated crimps that is.

dog's blooks

Not tried them, are they as good as Wagoos and Linees?

 

[telectrix]

they are superb. just a bit bulkier than butt crimps.

Got to agree those in-line connectors are good. Have used them a lot with no problems, nice and tidy, especially in a consumer unit!

Connector blocks for me from now on just to annoy everyone. ;-)
