    I've had a go on that festool chaser lovely bit of kit. I use a Bosch 5" grinder with a dust extraction guard and a fein dustex class M extractor, I use it in fully furnished houses, I don't reckon you can get a better set up for the money.

    Pulling the Main Fuse (Poll)

    I pulled a main fuse once, I hadn't noticed but the cut out had been damaged at some stage so a big chunk of plastic came away with it. I rang the DNO to let them know, then carried on with the CU change as I didn't want to lose the day. When they turned up they didn't bat an eyelid, they...
