Hi.
Chocolate block is rarely a good idea on mains especially if the load is high.
The continual heating and cooling can lead to the screws loosening off for no apparent reason. Then the connection begins to go high resistance and could of course start a fire.
I've seen crimps in the past that have been also soldered and heat shrink insulation fitted, they have been OK on dismantling TBH.
