I'm a first year electrician and I went to pick up my free Klein tool kit from JTL. The rep who was in there said something about a rubber ended screw driver for screwing back metal plates, I can't find the driver anywhere. Is it a good for screwing back the plates and where can i buy one?
Thanks

If you arrived at a house requesting an extra socket, and the wiring was in the old rubber style with screwits etc, would you recommend a rewire and leave well alone, or henley in a new circuit.
My electrician is currently working at my home doing some general rewiring in an extension room. I had asked to also rewire two brass wall lights and a brass chandelier. They are old pices of equipment from 1970 and they have been in store here for eight years. He found that one of the wall...

Guys, need some advice.
When measuring across some cctv cables, im getting around 0.80 v of AC, which in turn is causing mass problems with the system.
I have seen in our basement that the lv cables are run less than 2 inches away from the mains cables, so im sure the magnetic field is...
Can someone please help me in finding what material is used under a heat press used for soldering ribbon to a solar cell? I can see a thin strip of what I assume is a “soft” thin strip of silicon or rubber to make a connection between the heat source and the tabbing ribbon. I’ve seen something...
Sorry if this has been covered I but couldn't find anything.
Nor could I find information as to when white pvc t&e was first used in domestic installations.
