I used to work out the back of a Volvo estate. Getting a decent van and racking it out along with a Rhino tube, and making a cable rack, made going to work and finding things a lot more pleasurable.
Got some good news for you. The thing actually works very well. Its hardly bigger than a cigarette pack. Only downsides are the instructions all in Chinese, but some excellent reviews on the banggood website that explain it clearly. They could have left the two welding cables a few inches longer. And lastly I would advise buying the next model up from mine (I bought the cheapest for 47 euro). The next model up gives 9 different welding strengths (mine has 4). It's hard to believe that technology has moved so far ahead in such a short space of time. It's A GAME CHANGER
It's a game changer for people who want to spot-weld small items at low cost.
The EF50 was a game changer for people who wanted to watch TV or defeat the Nazis.

You're supposed to watch the CRT, not the IF strip!
The electronics are way more interesting than what's on TV.
And with a CRT like this I can watch the program and the electronics at the same time...
Well, maybe in the future when it's working again. I hope the CRT doesn't turn out to be faulty, it's currently stored safely out of harms way.
Ok, game changer: Flyback EHT.
But we're straying somewhat from the original intent of the thread.
And yes, don't let anyone bend that picture valve.

In terms of electrical installation work
1. RCD
Differential trip, you can never depend on it but it may save your life or the installation
2. Voltstick/Single point contact testing
Never depend on a 2-wire tester
3. Headlamps/Cordless
Revolutionised electrical installation work
4. Kango Hammer
Wider picture , I dunno
Incandescent lightbulb, generators, motors ,pvc cables, valves

Oh, I also have one of those Bush radios, sadly with a failed dropper resistor and the issue of asbestos lining around it. Still it is a marvellous example of how compact an octal valve radio could be made.
If talking about major RF milestones, I would go back before the EF50 to 1919 and raise you the superhet system:

Good call on the pass-through RJ45 connectors.
The Ring Final Circuit: When needs must, ---- the rule book and find a pragmatic solution. Still very much the standard circuit for socket outlets nearly 80 years on.

In my opinion replacing the consumer unit and waiting to see which RCBO trips is not a good fault finding technique.
If the lighting circuit...

Or just save all the agro and get a proper sparks round for 45 minutes to test the supply cable and re-fit the socket 'properly'
