Teardown of the new MK screwless socket

It's not aluminium! I just wanted to clarify that, if you don't watch the whole video.
The earth busbar appears to be solid brass with a silver-like plating on one side.

This is a new and welcome twist on the traditional UK power socket. Instead of using screw terminals it uses spring loaded terminals in the same style of Wago terminals.

In use the spring mechanism tightly clamps the copper wire against a copper or brass busbar. It actually looks very robust, but time will be the true test.

The spring clamp removes the risk of people either under or over tightening the clamp screws. This is especially important in this era of profit-motivated Part-P deskilling. The colour coding of the terminals is also useful in this regard.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
