I’m looking to build my tools back up after a bit of bad luck. I’ve bought some screwdrivers, cutters etc. I’m just making a list of what I had. I’m just after a socket tester. I’ve seen Fluke now have one that looks very good. I did have just the basic Kewtech.
For the bathroom, want them matching and one needs to go over the shower.
Also need to be ok with insulation over the top. Ideally fit in the holes already there and don’t need the plastic huts.
Taken the old ones out and one wire has an earth but the rest don’t, so looking for class 2...
Hi all,
Firstly I am new to the forum, so will start by saying hi. I work as an electricians mate, and am joining the forum to gain experience.
I am looking to purchase a decent voltage and continuity tester that complies with GS38. The two I have considered so far are the Kewtech KT1780 and...
Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend a reliable brand for emergency lighting bulkheads please? I have a job coming up to replace 30 odd units.
I have used JCC in the past, to my cost as they had a high failure rate within the 1st couple of years. I've had good experiences with Ansell products but...
Hi,
I had been with Elecsa for years as a Part P installer/tester. Then they were taken over by the NICEIC.
I'm embarrassed to say that I hate them. Elecsa were great, they were great on the phone, the assessors were patient and polite and pleasant.
I do not find the NICEIC to be any of those...
Please can anyone recommend a smart dimmer module for use with Aurora LED GU10s that remembers the dim setting on loss of power so that the lights don't come back on full brightness (or, even worse, remain off) when power is restored? Ideally Wi-Fi controlled. There isn't sufficient space in the...
Generally speaking CLEAR heat-shrink tends to be a 2:1 or 3:1 shrunk size ratio, 4:1 is around but less common... has anyone ever found a source for 5:1 / 6+ ? RS list one that's a 6:1 but it's too narrow to start with (only 9mm). Cablecraft only go up to 4:1, too.
Normally we make our own...

No claims in years and it's gone up! It was already too high but I had no time to search. I'd be grateful for your recommendations, you've been so helpful before
I’m looking to buy a decent set of Tin Snips, mainly for cutting ceiling grid. Rather than drilling it when fitting cables etc for CCTV.
I’ve heard that Gilbow are Old School but that they are really good. But I’m also interested in other recommendations. Thanks
Would anyone be able to recommend a good 25mm bending spring. I assume there is a difference between say a Marshall Tufflex and a Tower one from Screwfix?
Hello All, first time posting to the site.
I am electrical engineering for a design firm that specializes in moveable bridge inspections and design. During our site inspections, we perform voltage and current recordings (typically single phase) of 3-phase induction motors, ranging from .25 to...
Hello all..
I have been considering CCTV for a while. We have had a few break ins recently, so it's time to actually do it!
I'd like to try and do it myself, so I'm looking for a pretty simple CCTV system and perhaps an alarm.
Any suggestions chaps? 🙂
Hi all,
We have a monorail in the kitchen with 6 lights, currently 24v halogens (MR16 GU5.3). The transformer is tech lighting AT6024T. I want to replace the bulbs with LEDs, but 24v ac bulbs are hard to find.
Any suggestions for replacement transformers so I can put in 12v bulbs instead? I...
Hi I’m just in the process of my L3 and have come around to doing the C&G Unit 104 Design Project. Does anybody have any recommendations of design software I can use on the PC to complete the drawings electronically? Many thanks
I am an electrical labourer currently doing my own research on Alarms to self-educate as much as I can.
I would like to state the general rules I have learnt so far and would like to know if there's anything else I should be aware,
Smoke Alarms, 2 types - Ionisation and Optical (Optical is...
Can I ask if any of the forum members have used the sponsor for supply of electric heating mats or if you have any other recomendations.
I am basically asking about the quality and reliability from your experience as it is not something that I have ever installed or undertook before and just...
