It's one of those long awaited "believe it when I see it items"!
Is the release date published anywhere? - They don't appear to be mentioned on the quickwire website.

I'll definitely keep them in stock when they appear, they will be a great time-saver.

They look like an old choke from a fluorescent fitting

As long as they don't get as hot as one.

These are now available from the Quickwire website (along with a 16amp 2way, which i don't remember them doing before).

Neither were available on the website when this thread was started last week. 2 way splitter is an odd choice of name - calling it a joint or splice would be more obvious and probably help sell more of them.

Thank you. Some 24 amp splitters ordered.

I wonder if it is actually worth them making both 16 and 24 amp versions....

Other than the 16A fitting through slightly smaller holes, the main difference seems to be accepted conductor sizes. 16A are suitable for use with 1mm & 1.5mm T&E, while 24A are suitable only for use with 2.5mm.

Just received 6 of the 24A 2 way along with a pen and pencil..! They look useful for altering ring finals in awkward circumstances..time will tell if I actually use them! A wagobox and 3 221s is cheaper by a quid and takes 2 minutes instead of 1. The Hager MF offering is already out of the running for me, far too fiddly.

Got mine today 10 4 way and 5 2 way

Do you need to use the quick wire tool to terminate.

Do you need to use the quick wire tool to terminate.

Not necessarily, You could strip it the same with other tools i am sure but the tool keep the cores all straight and in line perfect to insert into the connecter.

There are other cable strippers with the same form factor as the quickwire one, all the same just branded differently, they all work perfectly of course. I personally use the CK version.

Has to be a bad job overall though, branching off wires

Really branches should be at an outlet

I used a few of them today when moving a consumer unit. They helped enormously. I could very quickly connect up the ring circuits using the 2 way variants at the old CU location, and break into two of the rings near where the new CU was.
For me, these are already things to definitely keep in stock.
