Review: Was nervous about these but no need - I'm just doing some work on our kitchen and wanted to replace all the white sockets with brushed steel, screwless ones. I've done some in another room and was paying a lot more than these are going for so I was nervous about these due to the price. These are really good quality units - I have a few light switches, double sockets, single sockets, a cooker socket and this fused spur. The face plate clips on with spring clips and is really secure. The quality of the face plate looks to be really good as well. The only criticism I have is that the retaining screws to screw the back to the box are tiny. I've got a few where they're just not long enough to catch. Luckily I had a few longer ones spare but I've had to order a pack as well to finish the job. They're only a couple of quid for a pack so it's still a very good deal.
Review: Neat and slim - Really tidy face plate – the design is slim and sits nice and flush on the wall, giving a clean, modern finish. The switch has a satisfying click and the build quality feels solid, as you'd expect from BG. Overall, a quality product that looks good and works well. Would happily buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean and tidy
*by P***L on 19 March 2024*

Like the screwless range alot. Easy to fit. The fused spur is no exception. Used with spacer. Only quibble is the size of hole in the front is a bit large for cooker hood cable. Apart from that - great
