    CK Automatic or Irwin Vise Grip Wire Strippers?

    I prefer to use not snips/side cutters but what we call crops or shears think the trade name is , the ones with the curved cutting edges , can’t beat them in my personal opinion

    CK Automatic or Irwin Vise Grip Wire Strippers?

    CK Automatic or Irwin Vise Grip Wire Strippers?

    Think these tools are good if you Are panel wiring etc with fine stranded wire, with many multi core cables to strip , they make a perfect strip and never cut into cores , not that you should if you are a skilled electrician But for everyday sparking a bit OTT in my opinion , but each to their...

    Rewire "specialists"

    For yourself yes , all depends what the client requires , can soon escalate But labour only contracting £800-1000 , 1 days works 2 sparks 2/3 mates/apprentices , that’s when I call it hard work , head down arse up But as one of the sparks you should be taking £250 out of that price at least...

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    Similar to the electric cars and having to replace the full battery pack at a cost or thousands

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    On a large scale though the cost of say 30 new light fittings compared with 30 new lamps could start adding up Don’t get me wrong really like led lighting but not sure they are living up to expectations and do people realise some are non maintable , which may have massive cost implications...

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    We will have for sure , tracing it could be a problem , to be honest these fittings lasted 5year well above their warranty period

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    Have they past the 5 year mark , do you know if it’s easy to pick up spare drivers and leds Something I will be enquiring about this week with ours , no doubt yes a tricky one really , not really investigated how maintable led fittings are , can’t see any replaceable parts in the 600*600...

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    For us we have to access these light out of hours because they are in car parks or on walk ways etc, cherry picker hire , premium rates , supervision , so cost wise job has to be complete that day or it’s a return visit Can you now walk into a wholesalers and buy drivers and leds off the shelf...

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    Seems the so called cheaper ones aren’t lasting , we are tied to CEF and just use these tamlight ones they supply , which build wise seem quite good (sure they will supply us any manafacture at a cost££££) Would like to know which fittings are best value for money and longest hour rating on life...
