    chaper alternative to CL1850 CLIFF (mains quick connection)

    This looks like a handy little tool for safely connecting to wires to mains while testing some device you're working on:

    Or CL1860 CLIFF - image attached.


    But quite expensive for a plastic and some metal.

    I couldn't find a cheaper alternative.

    Do you know one? Or what other name can I google?

    Thanks.

    there are cheaper clones, even ones for the americans with their fucked up color codes,
    and even a 3-phase one.

    try aliexpress.

      I tried AliExpress with no success.
      I've tried names used by CLIFF.

      What search term should I use?

        looking at the prices, just use WAGO connectors
