    Finished a job where I had to use Volex flat plate outlets.

    Apart from the quality being **** poor, the switch mechanisms feel like they will fail any second, the holes for the cable termination being small - it felt like you could only get 1mm into the sockets! Don't ask me how I managed to get the 2.5mm in!

    Did the IR tests, got 80 - 100 MOhms - Completely acceptable - but pants!

    Stay away from these outlets in future!
