    The English term for those are wire nuts. They suck but they’re great in a pinch

      Hm, nah, I meant these:

      Not great, because if they change temperature a lot or are over torqued they lose pressure after a while.

      Those wire nuts look even worse though, do they just screw on top of twisted wire ends to isolate them somewhat?

        Hah! My uncle loves those. Picks up a pack whenever he is in Germany and laments that he can’t get them anywhere else.

        Correct about wire nuts. As far as I know, they’re the north American standard. Based on the two options I see here, it looks like they’re also the most archaic option lol
