    Best way of fixing boxes to crumbly walls.....

    If you get 1 or 2 fixings drilled first,mix some decent quality drywall adhesive up (use puddle water or bird bath😉,it goes off faster) load out recess,leaving screw plugs visible,push in flush & level,fit screws loose,tighten an hour later. I have such a property,built 1911,and this method has...

    Earth rod driving stud size

    Hi,sadly no.....got an acute aversion to releasing tools in to the wild (tool hoarder) I would imagine there are a few unused examples out there....too much for the smart phone generation - gym or no gym 🙂 If i remember,one came from a pals grandad,years before i was capable of using or needing...

    Erbauer Drills any good

    As an addition to the Hikoki fleet....my 1st class sons,got me the Multivolt 115mm grinder,for father's day 😍 Just as impressive,as the other kit...auto feature looked a gimmic,but proved a useful function during an afternoon of testing. Recip saw,next... starting to look like an obsession...😉

    Erbauer Drills any good

    Just gonna throw in a shout for Hikoki.....had reason to "invest" in several of the multivolt versions,and what a piece of kit😃 The 1/2" impact wrench is awesome...will quite easily strip M22 ....and the best way i can describe the impact gun,is it feels like a child's toy with a nuclear...

    Erbauer Drills any good

    Really? ..... think that one has come from the straight-banana think-tank😄 .just trying to calculate the overall carbon footprint,of thousands of tradies,returning home,to attach their chargers to a willing socket...

    £93.75 per hour + vat

    I suppose his hourly rate is immaterial,if we do not know his costs,debts and outgoings......could be poorer than that Russian window cleaner,with a contract with McDonalds..... Turnover for vanity - profit for sanity 😃 I was heading for hideous wealth,with me newly patented "Z front" male...

    Low earth resistance continuity test

    Hi,if you had one hidden accessory or JB,which bridges the ring somewhere,and it had a poor connection on the cpc,you could get this.... You could clip a signal generator on the disconnected cpc,and CAT the whole gaff,to see if there are unexpected cable runs.... Now and again,in circumstances...

    Storm Arwen and Storm Barra

    No no no.....AVT approved 😃 older Megger 320,i think.....would never use a fairy wand for such a check 🥰 It's the obsolete one,with a DC volt readout,and a couple of rubber buttons to force an RCD to act....i keep it in me glove box as i like it,and again this week,more than proved itself.

    Storm Arwen and Storm Barra

    Yep,wind causing fun at our end....but not always in the way you think 🥲 Got a casual call from a pal's son,from his yard,saying his 3P machines were down...all else on...slid past as a favour,just 2 screwdrivers in me pocket + AVT from glovebox... One phase down at workshop dist box,so went...

    Hi, it might be better to start with what loads are required to be met,and what size/type of generator is going to be used?

    solar panels....Sold a lemon?

    Hi,i am almost certain that 11k spent on insulation,heat recovery/ventilation and more efficient appliances,would have yielded more joy 🙂 I am not sure what batteries/system you have,but what is the maximum load and duration of that load,which a fully charged battery can sustain? It was this...

    Do I need a torque screwdriver set?

    Might i recommend that all the terminals that require a specific torque,be replaced by either a crimp,or soldering.....because we never have any fallings out,over those methods 😉

    Do I need a torque screwdriver set?

    I apologise for my buckshot punctuation 🙂 A while ago,i was knocked unconcious,when my torque device slipped off a fastener,and i may still be recovering after coming out of a deep comma 😎

    Do I need a torque screwdriver set?

    Hi,i reckon that college tutor would struggle to provide the details of that case,to make his point.... Any electrician,could justifiably state,that his ability to know if the terminals were adequately tightened,was due to training,and experience. Tracing the cause of a fire,to a possible...

    Do I sack it all off and keep it simple?

    Hi,just another angle....5 K,50 K or half a million squid....it makes no difference what the contract value is,if you have under-priced. You may need another,experienced person,to cast their eye over your last few years trading. One of the best bits of advice i ever got,was " Two heads are...
