    Metabo Wall Chaser MFE 40

    Same as Risteard. I’ve had mine 2 years next week, can’t fault it at all, the best blades I find are the turbo blades. They cut anything and last far longer than a diamond tipped blade. The vacuum is the important bit now lol

    2391-52 Gold Card so no need for 3 years at college anymore.

    It’s £2195 for the NVQ3 e-portfolio and 1 day a month for 4 months at the centre I sat my AM2 at 19 years ago. As was looking into it for a lad the other day.

    Apprenticesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I have a level 2 trainee at the moment. He’s paid £40 a week for 2 years by college, then he goes on to level 3 where he becomes an employee and gets national minimum wage. He’s been with me since Sept and whilst he’s a million times better than the 3 I had last year, he’s still not able to...

    Guidance on new MFT's

    Prices on the Megger have really jumped up, looking on site sponsor website last night. Was thinking on upgrading to something fancier. But it definitely won’t be for a while lol

    18th Edition - Exam only

    My local college has moved away from C&G for some reason. EAL and now the regs were with a crowd called Logic Certification with a 75% pass and minimum of 50% in each section too. 1 lad the day I did mine had 76% and failed as he hadn’t done enough in a section and what he had done and got...

    Pete's Videos Tool Tarts Beware you will be envious

    The electric screwdriver is around £300. I dunno if I could bring myself to pay that.

    Get the impact driver with the 3 speed settings. Much better than the one without.

    Had a call from a guy who was doing a bit of diy.

    Smart Thermostat Recomendation

    He must be using the battery set up. Better using the doorbell wire and a power pack with them.

    Smart Thermostat Recomendation

    The ring wireless doorbell is a great job. Really wide angle lens on the camera too. And links to your phone & tablet.

    Stereotypes of each trade...

    Agree, was on a job with a joiner a few months back. Never seen so many power tools in 1 room, actually had to ask him to take some out so I could open my steps out to wire the lights lol They also seem to take every available power point on a job within minutes of arriving on site lol

    Tool storage?..............................................

    I have a Dewalt tote bag and a Dewalt tote, the bag is definitely better imo. But both good quality items, just I prefer the bag version.

    Stereotypes of each trade...

    Most people have some sort of ludicrous idea that sparks are minted. If anything I’d say it’s almost 1 of the worst paying trades these days. I notice a lot of the apprentices have some idea they’re gonna be loaded and it’s also an easy job. Which is obviously what they’re being told lol...

    Any guesses which (Northern Ireland?) electrician company this might be???

    They might update it every so often, but usually only to highlight new technology or a special high pr project, once you have a good portfolio you don’t really need to do regular updates.

    Any guesses which (Northern Ireland?) electrician company this might be???

    The other problem is, everyone in England thinks if you’re from the North you’re from Belfast, so they could be from anywhere in the country.

    Any guesses which (Northern Ireland?) electrician company this might be???

    Would it not be better talking to the hotel or it’s staff?

    Any guesses which (Northern Ireland?) electrician company this might be???

    But there’s a few that have been wound up that possibly could have been them depending how long ago we are talking.
