    Facom Screwdrivers

    I'd be keen to try them, I'm on wiha at the moment, I was introduced to them via their torque screwdriver set. Befor that, I was always an avid irazola man!

    Domestic Kitchen Advice

    All I can say is the first time I came across one of these microwaves, I thought "that'll be OK, I'll just put a plug on it and plug it in". It wasn't long before the continually blowing fuse suggested that we should have followed the instructions. I've had them knock out 16A breakers in normal...

    2 questions?

    Is it?! You have to keep an eye on small print. We had some downlights the other day that on close inspection of warranty information revealed original packaging must be retained for any claim to be considered!

    Low energy track lighting for showroom

    HQI tends to be a good option in shops, a couple of 70W HQI's will be far superior to lots of halogens. If you're looking at Halers, they also do a replacement for PL type downlights which should do the job even better than the EVOLED.

    Dangerous reverse polarity on meter tails

    Being a spark is one thing, breaking the law and working outside the scope of HASAWA is another. How do you fancy the fraud squad knocking on your door because meter seals have been cut? It can happen, and it's up to you to prove. If I was passing your house and decided a tree in your garden...

    Additional c.u

    I would say if you are installing a new CU the only tests you need to carry out are on the work you have installed, and confirming Earthing an Bonding. I see no reason why you should be worrying about the existing CU or whats connected to it. Perhaps a curious look if it causes concern or you...

    Porcelain tile trouble

    You may be able to use those spear headed tile/glass drill bits and stitch drill round the edges, then use an old (but not too blunt) wood chisel to break out the centre. You may even be able to use your ordinary masonary bits depending how hard the tiles are. A little trick with the masonary...
