they have clamps and screwless terminals and are designed to be maintenance free for inaccessible joints

they're commonly used in uk but the rules here on joints don't seem to allow them

are they available in shops here?

I see terminals such as that quite often in control panels.
I don't really like them. They are very hit and miss. We had to change out quite a few for "normal" screw terminals.

probably

they use them on wagos and as the link says they don't need inspection

best job is prob no inaccessible joints anyhow-but it can happen occasionally in ceiling voids

unfortunately the rules here on joints don't seem to allow these
