    Brother P-Touch label printer cartridges.

    I tried compatible ones once.. Out of three cartridges two ended up in the bin pretty sharpish as they snagged up when trying to use them. That was for a brother P Touch.

    Pet peeves..........................

    The IET - it's jobs for the boys, and the manufacturers are having to much input in my view. Messy DBs where you have to diss six ccts just to find the N and CPC without getting the wander lead out. Supposed reputable brands dumbing down their products at every opportunity until their once...

    NAPIT Certification Scheme Napit Mobile 0 - Pen & Paper - 1

    I hear what you are saying. I have always used photocopies of the various forms and then typed up later. But I find it is all too easy to get a little bit of a backlog of certs that need filling out. I'm gonna try it again for the MWC I think, surely that will be straight forward!! The desktop...

    NAPIT Certification Scheme Napit Mobile 0 - Pen & Paper - 1

    Did half an EICR this morning, finishing it off tomorrow night. I tried Napit Mobile for the first time. What an annoying counterintuitive process it is. Can't skip between different parts of the form. Filled in the origins section no problem, pressed submit, but then what? I don't know! Does...

    UNUSUAL CUSTOMER REQUEST 'FANS'

    I would say fair enough. I would make sure that it is clear that you have just done the electrical wiring and connection only though on the invoice. I would - one way or another - state that the venting aspect is being done by someone else. I have done similar before when a roof tile vent is...

    Struggling to find a class 2 light that looks anything like this.....

    No worries at all. There used to be a website called double insulated or similar but I can't find it when I just looked. They had a really good range at the time. I would expect to pay at least three times as much for each light fitting when compared to class 1 lights. Is there no feasible way...

    Struggling to find a class 2 light that looks anything like this.....

    I have a 3 light class 2 in my lock up that is very similar to the right hand piccy HHD. Can't remember if it's brushed or polished chrome. It was fitted (by me) from new and left in situ for less than a year before the tenants moved out and I sorted out the circuit. You can have it for nowt as...

    Advice on Voltage Testers please.

    I've had my fluke T5 for around 7 years at a guess. Works a treat still. Continuity readings start off a little high when the batts are low, but then I don't use it to get accurate readings as such. The croc clips are a good addition to have. My only gripes would be that you can't zero the...

    Downlights and the different varieties..

    I normally lean towards Enlite E8 and E5s. Found them reasonably priced (online) and no failures to date that I know of. I avoid Lap gear generally but I actually don't mind their LED GU10s, very good price and of the many I've fitted only been called back once. Screwfix swap them for new with...

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

    My seven year old lad said to me last week that if you cut through a cable then the electricity would pour out everywhere ( he thought it would be similar to what water would do). Technically he could be right with a HV cable I suppose...

    WAGO screwdriverzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I was once sat in a beer garden and was observing a little insect crawling across the table. As it did so it meandered more than the Mississippi....left right left right... But then it went through a small beer spillage and when it came out the other side it went in a perfect straight line for a...

    Best CCU is Schneider...Oh no it isn't. Anyone tried Chintz?

    I was in Screwfix the other day and the bloke always tries telling me about their latest offers. Normally I'm not interested as only get back-boxes and cable from there, but he mentioned they had got rid of Schneider boards and got Eaton in instead. Never fitted Eaton but I have a feeling from...

    If you do it make sure the RCD tests ok, and preferably earth loop too.

    Office 365 about to run out.

    Pay out you skinflint!! :) I think it costs me around £4.50 a month. Well worth it to have instant access to all my certs and quotes etc whilst out and about.
