    Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

    Looking at remedials following a EICR by someone else. Most of the report was ok but they had C1 for no bonding to plastic water supply pipe. And for some reason said it was TNCS...pic below... The pitch covered fabric (or whatever it is) isn't even stripped back... The best bit was the gas...

    Dewalt Electricians Stapler

    I have just been looking at a YouTube review of it. I largely agree with Pete on this. The single size of staple width will rarely allow a neat looking run in my view. For new build sparks I think it could be a good idea for cables that will be largely hidden. The vid I saw showed that on most...

    L@@k We have a new youtuber handyman

    I had a hot tub recently that had been fitted with a rotary isolator. The two CPCs in the iso were connected at an earth terminal - but to two different earth terminals that were not connected. So the CPC between the iso and the tub was floating. The SWA feed to it wasn't any better either!

    And just to add, he could have trimmed back and redressed the mangled bits of copper that had been well bitten into by the previous terminal screws.

    What about engineers Murdoch ? I had an engineer client that had the infinite wisdom to connect the CPC to L2 !! o_O

    Bosch Professional impact driver

    Most of my tools are Bosch and had very few issues. Only one that died on me was an 18v combi drill (through misuse by me though). It was one of their cheaper combis so I just bought the better quality metal chucked bare drill to replace it. My 36v SDS and corded planer are still good after 10...

    Customisable consumer units

    Schneider do customisable inserts for the front panel. But I wood (get it!) be popping to Halfords for a tin o spray paint I think. Can't see how it would jeopardise the components if done correctly. Best to check the MI's though cos they will generally do ANYTHING to get out of a Guangdong...

    18th Edition - How has it changed what boards you buy?

    My local eddys are doing them for around that price I think. I noticed a flyer in there and thought the price for the board with an SPD wasn't overly pricey. I may be out by £30 though as I just glanced at it..

    My maths are really rubbish too. I watch Rachel Riley religiously but my sums still don't add up!!

    Is this a reasonable quote for a couple of jobs?

    Hi, Firstly there is no such thing as an electrical safety certificate. Electricians issue certificates for carrying out work and can also carry out an EICR which is a report not a certificate. It is really hard to say whether those quotes are reasonable, they certainly don't seem expensive...

    Type A RCDs Vs Type AC

    I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the guidance, and I was always taught that anything greater than 30mA is not good for the old ticker. However, Hager are just using what is stated within 61008 according to the link I posted. I agree with Charlies post in the aspect of goal post moving...

    Type A RCDs Vs Type AC

    Hager (I think) have released guidance on this stating you should test at 50mA and 250mA for X1 and X5 tests, using the variable setting on your tester. This is for type A RCDs only IIRC. It is mentioned in the BBB under 643.8. EDIT: at 50mA the X1 test no longer applies. Here is the link...

    Bosch GOP 18V - 28......

    I emailed Saxton, and Fein/Bosch have patents on the starlock design, so it is unlikely that cheaper variants will be readily available. Shark blades did seem to release a starlock blade but they are not available any more (probably after a stern letter was sent!) So, bear that in mind I guess...
