First time i've used these with the retractable plastic sleeve, but once i figured them out I find them pretty good & useful.Good price too.

replacement of a broken item/spares

My only complaint is that they come in parts ... including the grub screws in a separate bag.Very fiddly getting them started and easy to drop !Otherwise they seem to be robust (I had another brand years ago that just snapped while being inserted into a terminal or multimeter - not a problem with these)

NOT gold plated. I don't really care about this, but the title and description both claim gold.NOT stackable. Okay, the listing doesn't claim they are, and - again - I don't even care. But FWIW here's my theory:Theory part 1: They were originally *meant* to be stackable.Theory part 2: Seller got a bunch of complaints about burrs inside the hole making it impossible to insert a second plug.Theory part 3: Seller quietly removed the word stackable from listing.It's just a guess.Of course it would have been slightly more honest to have explicitly mentioned that they're not stackable, because the pictures certainly suggest they are. It's the difference between being a reputable seller that I would use again and being one I would diss in a review. This item could sell very well as an accurately described budget-priced no-frills item. Making out it's something that it's not annoys customers who can write bad reviews. So short sighted!Also, the red plugs are spotted with blotches of dark blue, and the yellow ones are spotted with blotches of green. What went wrong there?!!

These plugs have to be assembled. They use tiny grub-screw which is unnecessarily small for the job. While inserting the grub screw, you are likely to have it in its thread the wrong way round, and drop the grub screw on the floor. Also, the 4mm plug is exceptionally tight in 4mm sockets. Why on earth can't you simply provide normal, easy-to-use banana-plugs? What compels you to go out of your way to design and manufacture a stupid design in poor quality materials?

At first I thought these would be good (or at least good ISH), but they are pretty much useless. The outer sheath is so loose it pulls away from the metal part leaving it in the socket of whatever you are plugging into. Because I needed these plugs and to overcome the problem, I decided to use superglue on the inside of the sheath which seems to have bonded to the metal, at least for now, but how long it'll last is anyone's guess! Glad I'm not the only one to find out the hard way. Next stop - the bin!

They do the job.

Easy to connect
