I saw a guy on site in Leeds with a pair of pliers with built in LED to the jaw, they looked really cool and he was working in the ceiling where it was dark but these pliers lit the area up very well. Has anyone else got some of these and can tell me if they are as good as they look? I asked...
Hi all
Has any one used the armeg back box cutters, are they worth buying on a rewire of a old house ie brick walls. Also are the chasing chisels any good. The house has some large old coving, which hopefully I can manage not damage too much.

After hitting a nail and also an RSJ immediately below some floorboards, my silverline cutter is now scrap. I noticed that Armeg do a similar 111mm cutter and wondered if these perform any better in normal use - not expecting anything to withstand hitting solid steel without damage of course...
What type do you use, had a set of one handed silverline, ok lasted 18 months, treated my self to some ck ratched type, cut 20 lengths 20mm and 1 length 25mm trunking, tried some 25mm today wont cut, just bending. Also find them hard to use as need to open with two hands and ratchet mechanism...
Need a new side cutters!
Currently have a ck combi cutters 2 and it's very good,
It's blown to bits though,
I don't know wether to go for the knipex or upgrade.
HELP ME DECIDE!!!!!
Please and thank you Colzer
Anyone used the Partex ratchet shears?
At £60 surely their worth a punt? I only do a dozen large cuts of 150+mm tails a year and not worth the money knipex cost...
any other cheap recommendations gratefully received ..

Hi All,
When I worked for BT we were issued with some really good tools, one of which was a pair of what I would describe as 'cantilevered' diagonal cutters. All metal (no plastic hand grips), they were really comfortable, about 6" long, cut through anything, and lasted me 29 years - Then I...
Online reviews comprised by others who own, or have perhaps used products are crucial in the decision stage of purchasing equipment. You may want to read the experiences shared by other electricians who have purchased an MFT or maybe even a set of test leads that you are considering.
As such...
Just wondered if anyone had used these? They look pretty damn cool but carry a hefty price tag!

Just thinking they may make a good alternative to my usual cable loppers.

"Stripping Alarm Cable (cable core keeps breaking)"
I'm using the 6 core cable that came with the Honeywell alarm system I got
Tried with Automatic style wire strippers, stanley knife, side cutters etc. but the steel core is very prone to breaking.
What tools or techniques would people...
We have received these back from a grateful Electrician and wondered if there are any more examples out there for our collection?
Unfortunately he was injured (but not electrocuted) - the flash caused him to jump and bang his head on a pipe
Any images would be great - Thanks
Whats the technique? Ive had a search online but havent found any tutorials. Do you score around the cable and then pull it off? Or use the ends to bite into the insulation?
Noob question,spark wannabe
Hi
I am looking at the best tools to buy for chasing out and for sinking back boxes. Wall chasers are too heavy and dusty.
What does everyone think of the box cutters that go onto a SDS drill? (As seen in screwfix) Erbauer EBS Single Box Cutter
I am looking for something that makes this part...
I have a set of these. great when working with small twin. The cutting surface is a little small but the cutter as nice in the hand and perform nicely and tbh save a fair bit of time if your second fixing
