    C&G Level 3 Project Question (Cafe ring final sockets length)

    Hi guys I'm a bit frazzled by the wording on the main project. So, we are told to keep the max circuit length down to 30m, tutors said that isnt physically possible so just try to keep it under 40m and they noted that the socket circuit was a bit of a mental one and that the 30m guidance set...

    AbleSkills Experiences or Reviews

    Able Skills are excellent, however they have several ways to do the course. If you are brand new, do the full time course.

    Stripping Wires With Side Cutters

    I can see why you'd use those two. I've seen people using shears to do work on 1.5 and 2.5mm, what are your thoughts on using them? They look like they cut more than they crush, but I'm not sure if that's just a bad idea or not. 1575335054 Thanks for your reply. I've not had any issues yet...
