I will always cut-back on where the wires were previously terminated. I think it is just good practice to do so.
 
Regarding the process being "Slower" ...... I suppose it is, but you're talking in the area of additional seconds so it's not a game-changer in that respect.

As regards the benefit to Openreach ?? I'm only guessing here, but the 'Tool-less' design has probably been introduced as a means of eventually saving on the tool budget. With 24,000 engineers requiring 24,000 Krone tools at approximately one a year, that will be a no brainer to a bean-counter !! It's not just NTE's that are going tool-less ...... the street cabinets are as well. :)

Is it possible that there was an initial duff batch which were loose, and they then tightened up the tolerances so Black Sheep has seen later good units?

Also time is saved from not having to screw the front back on, it pushes on, plus I suspect it will save call outs from people being about to get to the test socket easier, i.e. some people especially older could struggle with what might seem a simple task to us, removing two screws.
