    SWA earthing tags and termination tool

    Might just buy one to find out if it does. Advert says "cuts clean cuts quick cuts safe" hah. looks like it uses a wee hacksaw blade anyway

    SWA earthing tags and termination tool

    Re: SWA earthing tags (20mm) with wire It's something that could save a bit of time but never mind, good old bolt and nut method it is. Has anyone had experienced with the swa cutter tool? (Like plumbers pipe slice) for cutting then snapping off the armours. Do they save time?

    SWA earthing tags and termination tool

    I've been searching for a part that I used once and can't remember where it came from but I thought it was a neat little idea and could save some time if doing a lot of swa gland terminations. The part in question is a brass banjo with a flying lead soldered onto it! I want to buy a pack of 50...

    Tell us about your faults!

    I had no earth at a double socket once, when checking my values with my MFT scratching my head, i was completely baffled as I had run the new circuit. Turned out to be a missing peice of the earth bar on the Click Polar range socket i used. My fault for not checking it visually hah

    Two way light switch with a difference!!!

    This thread reminds me of a Programmer I connected to control lighting contactors in a shop. When it switched OFF, it then fed a PIR motion sensor which would bring on the lights for staff or managers visiting after work hours. It was a great pleasure to connect and test this :biggrin5:

    mineral insulated cable repair

    You can fix this damaged cable. Just use the blowtorch as mentioned, also the pots with the earth flyers built in will make it easier. I succesfully repaired a 2core pyro with glands i found in my van that were too small, i drilled them out to nearly the correct size and soldered them on using...

    Whats the sauciest thing you have encountered on site?

    I once found a very saucy bra in a wedding suite hotel room behind the four poster. Someone was probably having mariage aid there.

    SSE Electricity supply work i seen

    I think this orange concentric cable only has sleeved bl?ack conductors around and no bare ones for the earth, where they all are neutral. and I also believe it has the aluminium core. So might this cause an earth path break in the flats? surely a protective earth should be supplied to all the...
