    Mitre / Chop / Combi / Flip Saws

    Hi Alan, I would highly recommend the evolution range of mitre saws, have used one to skirt my house, fit a kitchen, cut unistrut, threaded rod and dado trunking - great all rounder and not expensive. Sam

    Nic Assessment questions

    Don’t worry about the service fuse I haven’t had it mentioned on an assessment. I would get the notification for the job done before the assessment though as it’s something they like to check. I got marked down for notifications as the assessor couldn’t check mine on his tablet I had no WiFi as...

    Inrush currents and solutions......

    I keep telling people installing LEDs is a dark art but no one believes me! Lol I have fitted quite a few enlites on b curve breakers and not had a problem. But got caught out once by 3 JCC under unit lights that I had to put on a C10 to stop it tripping. I recently contacted JCC about some LED...

    Which domestic Consumer Unit and why?

    Hager for me! I personally like the square knock outs as they marry up with the larger sizes of trunking. Also the rear entry pattress is a great idea, shame they don't include it.

    Honeywelly9420 sundial rf pack 2

    Which cable rod set to buy

    The armeg set are a good alternative as they are half the price of the super rods. I have yet to snap one and they don’t leave fibreglass splinters in your hands like the cheap blue sets!

    Torque VDE driver sets.........

    Torque VDE driver sets.........

    There's no way he could know if they were torqued up to manufactures spec doing it by hand. It's completely hypocritical for them to tell me to use a torque driver then for him to check them manually. As for experience - I've been doing this for nearly 20 years if I haven't got the 'feel' by...

    Torque VDE driver sets.........

    I had used a torque driver on one of my assessment jobs, all CU terminals torqued to manufacturers spec (hager) The scheme inspector comes along and checks all my CU terminals with a standard screwdriver? How does that work? Is he better at assessing manually applied torque than me?
