The problem with the Pomonas one is you can't attach bare wire to it. For a PSU I would prefer a version that allows bare wire.

That's a good point I hadn't considered. I suppose a short banana alligator lead would solve the issue but is less elegant. There's still the Phoenix connector on the back as well.

Sure you can! Just grab one of these: Pomona MDP Double Banana Plug
Simply insert wire and tighten screw. I use them with a few of my power supplies that have banana jacks instead of binding posts. They work great!

I don't like these at all. I rather have proper binding posts which take bare wire and 4mm banana. I have modified various pieces of equipment to have such binding posts.
SKPang:
Some of the binding post I've seen doesn't have the hole for the bare wire. I'm tempted to drill a small hole through the thread for the wire myself.

I was looking at those earlier for cellphone test and repair and as a general PSU. I found one at £170. I logged in here to look for opinions on the kit and I've saved half of that.
Nice one, thanks
