Re: new Edison Plugs
Lex gave me a couple to try. We took them to the shop and put 12/3 soow cable in them, and gave them a try. The thing that we first noticed is that the clamping mechanism really doesn't save much time. There are already 5 screws to deal with (on the strain relief and to hold the plug in the housing), so does eliminating 3 more really help. With a battery powered screw driver, it is just as fast to screw it in.
Next, we hooked them up and did not tighten the strain relief, and then pulled on the SO cable, seeing how well the terminals held. We were able to pull the conductors out of the terminals with little problem.
They are about 15-20% more than the standard, so they are not too badly priced. All in all, not impressed.
