I've been wondering about the European style of barrier strips/terminal blocks (or whatever you want to call them). To me they seem to be easier to work with because you don't (I think) have to strip wire or fumble with adding lugs. I've been using the American type because I easily understand the concept of jumpers and I frequently use them to connect two or more terminals. But how do you do the same thing with the European style? I asked the kid at Radio Shack but that was a waste of time. Warning - the electrical part of this hobby is not my strong point. If anyone has any pictures it would be most helpful.
Also, if there are any opinions for or against the European style, I'd like to hear them.
