Hi Folks, don't know if I have this information right or not, hence my question. My Lad (Camerabloke) paid a visit today, and showed me something interesting. Someone on the net posted a "buy a quote" thread, it seems this thread or post whatever you want to call it, not to sure where it came...
Where is everyone buying their wagos from at the minute ? I'm after a bulk order to stock up for a bit so the cheapest the best really. My local wholesaler is about the same price as screwfix but I'm sure there must be better deals out there somewhere......

I am after some advice from anyone who has used the megger 1730 in 2016. I am close to buying one and shipping it to Australia. I have read bad reviews about the older software it used now it seems to have better reviews.would I be making a mistake in buying one and shipping it to Australia?
I am thinking about buying the Megger MFT1730, I have read bad reviews (before 2014) on the no trip test and z readings being off. Does anyone know what the 1730 is like now in 2016? is it worth buying?
has there been any software upgrades to fix the issues? any info is appreciated
Hi everyone, Im a vote out person. I am proud to be British. I wanted to look into how many UK manufactuers of electrical switches / sockets / consumer units etc we still have. I would love to move away from imported MCB etc and start to promote and use British made products even if it costs a...

Evening all..
Just wondered if anyone here has any experience of buying a house or flat that is leasehold?
I'm thinking of buying a flat and its leasehold, it has about 68 years on the lease. From what I've read it should have above 80 years otherwise could be hard to sell (difficult to get a...
I know its a pain, but many electricians will be buying the new regs book. I've been browsing one particular site and wondered what best to buy with the new yellow BS7671 regs. You guys refer to the IT "OSG" book a great deal, but I've noticed another book being sold with BS7671 called "site...

I've been able to have a play with a couple, the Fluke 1651B Multifunction Installation Tester | Multifunction Tester and the Metrel MI3125E Multifunction Tester.
Personally I prefer the Fluke tester, I found it more straight forward...

Point of this post is just to say that if...

Does anyone here buy cable in bulk? Toolstation prices are pretty good, 100m of 1mm T&E £30.48 but is there anywhere that I could buy say 1000m or maybe more at a lower price than that?
Just seems to make sense to buy in bulk, unless of course they change the colours!! :smiley2:
Hi Guys,
If you wouldn't mind answering, how are you guys doing your buying at the moment? Are you buying in bulk or ordering as and when needed?
Do you order online or ring in orders?
