    Signing off work...

    Im pretty sure the OPs friend will need a qualification in Initial verification inspection and testing and the 17th wiring regs certification to sign off his work on domestic premises. If he wants to work on industrial and commercial premises as well and sign off work im sure he will have to...

    Have you looked into the government schemes to insulate houses. There are free upgrades available for loft and cavity insulation on houses im not sure if its still running but might be worth a look as they will install the loft insulation free of charge.

    impact drill

    Sometimes weight can indicate a good well build tool. Millwalke tools are my employers choice but he is loaded so can afford them lol. My Dewalt cordless 2.5KG SDS is an outstanding bit of kit as I to was fed up working off ladders with the corded sds drill. One of the best things I have brought...

    Domestic testing

    Try checking local library im sure they will have some books to loan out. I would question why the college you are attending does not have the resources or books available to loan out. I thought colleges have library's but I may be wrong. As a first year apprentice and probably on a budget try...

    House wiring

    This is the old fault on new appliances scenario. I had it with Indesit my tumble dryer apparently may catch fire due to a fault in the manufacturing and design.

    impact drill

    Totally agree with murdoch on this one my preference is Dewalt and all my cordless tools take the same batteries and are of the same brand. It may sometimes be necessary to buy a different branded cordless tool but that will also mean incompatibility with batteries and chargers.

    accesable connections

    Not the most helpful of posts m8 lol the OP is a trainee and is asking for advice. To the OP try and convince the homeowner of the work involved in moving the light fitting its a lot of work just for half a metre of movement. If the homeowner is still adamant he wants it moved then the...

    Bargain???

    Im always a bit weary of the cheap ebay imports but might be ok as a basic starter kit for students. Im with hightower though the 500v VDE rating seems a bit dodgy. Interchangeable bits are very handy though for general maintenance and service engineers as you only have a small pouch to carry...

    Backboxes

    A good eye is very useful as well, the pop out mini level from the C.K boat level will work wonders and any slight movement when you fix the backbox with plugs and screws will be able to be taken up with the adjustment you will get from the accesery fitting on second fix. laser levels are...
