Good product
While the product was good the instructions were vague. Relatively easy to install.

Much better than terminal screws
When changing socket fronts, I always go for MK, they’re a quality product but these MK Rapid fits are a game changer! Mainly because if it’s a bit busy in the pattress box eg: you’re at the start of a ring circuit and there’s 2 or sometimes 3 t&e’s squished into the pattress, these are by far much more efficient than trying to get 3 lives & 3 Neutrals into one terminal screw as they can accommodate up to “3 lives”, “3 neutrals” and” 3 earths” on their own as there’s 3 x 3 dedicated terminals, pretty much like having a socket with built in wagos. Would I recommend them! Without a doubt!

Absolutely terrible product
Stay away from this is dangerously dangerous the quick contact connections are terrible. Insert the cable and then try to move the socket into place and the cable comes loose absolute rubbish sorry MK take this product of the market

Tidy to use
Bought one of these to try on an installation. The idea of having lever rather than screw terminals is good, as you don't need a torque driver to secure your connections. At first try, not quite the same as Wago or Ideal levers, so you have to pay particular attention to make sure you check they've 'grabbed'. Otherwise, good to use and I would buy again. I tried finding a matching 1-gang socket, but it appears they only make screw version - I may of course stand corrected in that detail.

Rubbish won't clip and and wouldn't trust
Won't hold wire. Dodgy clip on electrics at home??

Very fiddly
Fiddly to use. You have to cut the cables in order to be able to route the cables into the clamp tunnels. I was only wiring an in-out ring circuit, but even then it was fiddly. Also, you need to ensure the cables have been clamped, that was not always evident. I shall be going back to my favourite sockets that have two earth points and a common live and neutral terminal, you know, the one that starts with a shellfish name.
