    torque screwdrivers

    It's only a matter of time before its a requirement I bet, the cost is ridiculous and as you say gay owl there's nothing wrong with tightening them by hand like I've done for years. I might hang on unless I find a bargain.

    torque screwdrivers

    I'm looking at buying a wera torque screwdriver attachment for my wera driver set, just wondering if anyone else is using a torque driver for tightening terminals or what people's opinions are about them?

    compulsory E.I.C's for domestic properties?

    Part P is a waste of time and an insult to sparks as a electrical trainee or a kitchen fitter can issue a cert, the amount of jobs I've been asked to look at due to issues and problems but been signed off. The work I have seen is so sub standard but I have to inform the local authority to come and check my...

    compulsory E.I.C's for domestic properties?

    I understand there will be costs incurred by the homeowners or landlords but surely as sparks we should all be thinking along the line of raising standards in domestic properties, it would be hard to police and make sure all circuits tested etc if it saves lives then I'm all for it, or even if...

    RCD test without RCD

    Firstly I would check if there is a flux capacitor fitted then if so work out if the next lightning storm will produce 10.4 gigawatts and then make sure the van will hit 80 mph in time! If you can do all that you can go back to 1980.

    compulsory E.I.C's for domestic properties?

    Ung I'm cards in with a company so it wouldn't interest me if an insurance company tried tapping me up I wouldn't entertain it, with gas you have the chance to smell it, you have carbon monoxide alarms and you can only work on it if your gas registered! With electricity you can't smell it, see...

    cable burn out

    Wagon connections is a top idea simlec, I do like that idea as it would prevent unnecessary pressure on the cable causing them to snap, nice and easy to install.

    compulsory E.I.C's for domestic properties?

    Dazza 1981 I've not given any advice the only reason I brought it up is because a friend of mine is in insurance and he was telling me they didn't pay out on a claim because the electrical install was below standards and no test certs etc could be provided to prove they were okay! So I was...

    compulsory E.I.C's for domestic properties?

    I'm interested in safety Tony but I know where your coming from, other people would jump on the band wagon and rip people off and I also agree there are a lot of reports out there not worth the paper there written on but how can we stop it? Every scheme they bring in costs the pro electrician...

    Tools / questions / quality issues

    I like c.k., wera and bacho but everyone finds what they prefer as you do more jobs, it's like buying trainers, everyone likes different feel, colour etc. If you find them good to use then go for it.

    compulsory E.I.C's for domestic properties?

    Good afternoon all hope all is well, just a quick question to everyone and to get some feedback. How many agree that all domestic properties should have to have a 20% test done each year to comply with building insurance and make homes much safer? All thoughts welcome please gents and ladies!
