    PAS63100 - has anyone read it yet?

    The standard seems to apply to houses? Still trying to interpret Standard Speak into English! However the gist I'm getting is that if it's not outside, it's inside. and if that inside is attached to the main residential building, then an interconnected fire detection system conforming to BS is...

    PAS63100 - has anyone read it yet?

    Last week I became aware of a new standard for the installation of EESS, (PV batteries). It can be downloaded for free from the BSI website. It mandates where batteries can and can not be installed. Recommended outdoors, but banning loft, or eaves installations, and places stringent measures on...

    Fluke 2062 Cable tracer

    I've got a Fluke 2062 cable tracer. Cracking bit of kit, but very expensive, and isn't getting used very much. I might be open to renting it out. If you need to trace a break or short, this could save you a lot of time. I traced a N E short to a pin in a picture rail that had been there about a...

    Game Changers - The successes and the flops?

    Properly life changing! If the rooms a bit dim, close up focus still isn't perfect, but in anything more than reasonable light, they're amazing. From wiring up small "D" plugs, to reading manufacturers instructions, (what are those?). No more glasses sliding down my nose!

    Stolen tools

    My truck was reversed up to the fence that goes onto the A102 main road. Fence bars have been prised apart, so access can be gained by someone slimmer than me. I feel like I handed it to them on a plate.

    Cable Marking System

    I use PARTEK cable markers. You'd have to apply a separate L and number, but I find them quite easy to use.

    Which Van is best for an electrical contractor?

    A car assembly plant became available in Hambach in France. Rather than build a new factory, it apparently makes commercial sense to use a 2nd hand one.

    I have a 1653 that the RCD test is out. Quoted £300 to repair as they would just change the circuit board. Hasn't been switched on in a few years. I'm not home till next week, but if it's of interest, or use to you, it's yours.

    Question about the little giant dark horse ladder...

    I've had mine for 4? years-ish, but have never used the clip on tool tray, probably costs as much as some steps! I rely on pockets and tool belts as I also need to carry the tools when on the ground. If I had the carry space, I probably wouldn't have gone down the Dark Horse route, but I have a...

    Lola, left, and Bonnie. Lola didn't leave, it's her position in photo. Both Cocker-poo, Lola is 8, Bonnie, just turned one. Lola definitely more poodle, Bonnie, the little Ginger ninja, very Spaniel. I didn't think I could love anything that wasn't human, didn't think about it to be honest. Then...
