    Socket Tester recommendations

    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.

    Any recommendations for reliable Fluke repair please1587.

    Am absolutely gutted, my Fluke 1587 insulation tester appears it's had an unknown fatal incident. I was doing some testing a few days ago and was fine. Yesterday I assumed the batteries were dead and replaced new ones. Then checked the fuse, dead. That did surprise me. At a loss what happened...

    REGULATORY BODY recommendations

    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.

    High ratio heatshrink recommendations

    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...

    Tin Snip Recommendations

    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
