Welcome to the forum @Quickwire-Sam - hope you are settling in well!

I've always thought their products deserve to be better known as they are excellent.
So hopefully this will raise their profile a bit too.

(will there ever be a 2.5 sq mm T+E splitter ...?!)

I've posted good words about Quickwire in the past, but was extremely impressed with their customer service when a downlight failed some months back.

I look forward to the traditional 95% discount that forum sponsors provide

Great connectors and the best set of strippers I've seen.

Strippers, this isn't the 1980s.

Good to have you on board QuickWire! Like your stuff a lot, and gets me out of a jam sometimes.
Please include 2 of the release key thingies with each set, it's easy to lose one, and I like to leave one at the site for future users. Maybe a modestly priced pack of 5 or 10?

Quantity breaks are good. Sell more stuff and make customers happy.

What a bloody good question, and there is quite a long backstory to this one... In short, getting it through BS testing has been a real learning curve. Keeping the temperature low on a product that takes power in something as small as Quickwire is no easy task; the tests it has to undergo are rigorous, to say the least. Not to mention, we've found many solutions on the market that don't hold up to the tests in reality. It's been a real eye-opener. Anyway, we've resolved all the issues now, and we have the safest, quickest, and most reliable 2.5 JB on the way (that wasn't meant to sound as sales-y as it did; apologies). We were supposed to launch at the beginning of this year, but now we're looking at November. Attached is an image of the two variations.

Awww, thanks! That's the kind of feedback I like

we try our best. Hoping you'll see a lot more of us in the coming months. We're going to be making a big push with the 2.5 version for power

Cheers, Chris! We actually have a nice surprise in that case... because we have V2 of those strippers coming out in about 2 or 3 weeks. Just waiting on arrival at base.

HAHA, I always try and do what I can on that front... I think there is quite a lot of you though? Checks forum numbers. Yikes...

Interesting, I will see what we can do on that front. Definitely think a pack could be a sensible option. Removal tools are a little frustrating on that front... I usually use my fingers. Which really hurts.
Glad you're a Quickwire user though! Can I ask: What jams do they get you out of? I'm always keen to find out how they are being used

HAHA, You've no idea how hard it is to sell electrical 'Strippers' online. Google, social media, Amazon etc. are constantly flagging up my posts/ads/copy for sexual content. At first it was funny, now it's getting boring.

Brilliant news. I'll be stocking them!

I've learned the art of opening them without the tool now. Can be done with finger nails at 9am, or a stubby flat blade at 5pm.

Usually sorting out bad DIY attempts, especially involving downlights. So common to find the CPCs cut off, and the joy of your products is that you need very little cable remaining to have a CPC connection again.
Very handy for branching a lighting circuit for an extension, adding a loft light, the list is endless.
Very handy to get the lighting powered up and connected to a temporary supply during a larger board change.

If you are ever bored, a product to accept a PL L+N, and a SL L+N one end, and 2 x 3 core cables the other end, would be handy for both bathroom fans and getting power into smoke alarm circuits. I admit it's a bit niche though!

I shouldn't admit this but I have one QW plug and socket araldited together. I'll leave the purpose to your imagination but it's very handy!
