    Any decent cable/access rods?

    Has anyone got a recommendation for some rods? I've been using a cheap Draper set, but they have broken twice this week at the joins, so I think it is about time I got a decent set. Any thoughts? Ta Alan.

    Earth Rods

    I have a new sub-main running from a Meter supply, which also supplies a consumer unit, which is earthed by an earth rod. Can the new sub-main share this earth rod or will it require a new one.
