The newer ones with springy metal coil inside and the "ears" for tightening them are supposed to do so. > How do you make the connections to lamp holders, plug sockets and > switches?

I always worry about high-resistance faults that don't blow the breaker. I like the British idea with the fuse in the plug, so you can set the fuse just a little higher than the appliance needs to draw. I haven't found any hardware in the US to allow this except in Christmas tree light sets.
