Thanks, I have square D for both the main and the sub panel in my house but I have looked a a few places with stabloc in them.

First link that comes up when you search for Stab-lock is about a class action lawsuit, I found about this when my neighbor wanted to added a few breakers to their box... non of them had failed but the idea of a company faking their tests to get their breakers on the market is scary.
Needless to say, they shelled out and had the whole panel replaced.
