need suggestion for power distribution for mule board

We need to build up another "mule" board for bench testing controls: a roborio, a few Victor 883s driving small motors, a spike or two. Drive the whole thing from a 12V power supply...

In the past, we've used old PDBs from dead robots, but we're out of them (various test projects). Since the roborio can run on 12V just fine, no real need to use the expensive FIRST PDB.

Is anyone aware of an inexpensive power distribution (1 in / 4-8 out) solution that will take ATC breakers and have WAGO output terminals? I like the WAGOs (no need to terminate wires, well-insulated). What I really want is the FIRST PDB form factor, without the expensive circuitry inside...

I can find marine fuse blocks that are close, but still screw terminals...
