How durable are the IPC connectors
( IPC Insulated Piercing Connector )

We have been using them for the last 2 or 3 years, they appear to be OK although the surface area is not that big where the pins pierce the cable insulation.
I find that the beaking torque required to snap of the end bolt doesn't also feel always equal to me.

Ok, they are a lot easier to install than a linetap. Some of our U.K. linemen say that they replace these back in the UK with normal linetap style fittings.
