I was taught to Di this when I was a apprentice but it seems today's lads aren't.
What do you guys use for glanding SWA and what would you recommend a budding young (skint) apprentice buys because he's fed up of the pin falling out his cheap Silverline waterpump pliers (I've tried to fix them!).

Is it possible to buy just the olives used in MICC glands? Had to cut back some pyro this week to remake the termination, was unable to salvage/reuse the olive, and ended up having to buy a whole new gland. I know that glands are not terribly expensive, but all I needed was a new olive (and pot).

A customer has 2 lights on a 30m circuit in 1.5mm swa which is buried half way round the perimeter of the garden and the lights are spurred off it at the end via Y boxes, they want another 10 lights added.

Please send details of manufacture.
Thank you in advance
