minus-squarerockSlayer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down1·2 days agoThe English term for those are wire nuts. They suck but they’re great in a pinch
minus-squarevaryingExpertise@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoHm, nah, I meant these: https://files.catbox.moe/k8mgc0.png Not great, because if they change temperature a lot or are over torqued they lose pressure after a while. Those wire nuts look even worse though, do they just screw on top of twisted wire ends to isolate them somewhat?
minus-squareRadioactive Butthole@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoHah! My uncle loves those. Picks up a pack whenever he is in Germany and laments that he can’t get them anywhere else.

minus-squarespankinspinachlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoCorrect about wire nuts. As far as I know, they’re the north American standard. Based on the two options I see here, it looks like they’re also the most archaic option lol
