I would like a lightweight electric implement for undoing and doing up screws on sockets, switches etc. It's really just for when I am doing EICR's as you take off quite a few faceplates. There are so many options out there that i'm getting a bit snowed under trying to narrow down my search...
A friend of mine just came back from America and I asked him to bring me back something.
He picked up this electricians screwdriver for $6 in an electrical hardware store.
I notice it is non insulated but the packaging was marked as an 'electricians 6 in 1 screwdriver'
Non insulated tools seem...
Anyone got any recommendations for one? I've got all manner of normal VDE screwdrivers but don't have anything like this yet.
Any preferences? Ones to avoid? Bottom, mod, top end of spectrum?

Anyone got any advice on the toughest screwdriver tips available. I’ve just bought the new Milwaukee (supposedly) impact resistant bits but they don’t seem to be lasting very long before they need replacing. I’m drilling into steel with techs as well as wood which obviously isn’t ideal with an...
Hi, as the title suggest, can you recommend decent powertool set please.
I want sds, impact tool, multitool.. what else would you guys recommend.
Brands, recommendations. About £800 budget.
thanks
My elbow is out of calibration and i would like to use a torque screwdriver instead, its something ive been putting off but i have finally caved.
What torque screwdriver is everyone using?
A little review would also be helpful
Hi I am looking to get together a set of tools. Can anyone recommend any good screwdriver sets for under £100? Or what to look for in a decent set & how much I should be paying (domestic installations only)? Many thanks
I'm thinking of getting a torque screwdriver but unsure if it's worth it. Is it a regulation now or just good practice now for connections to be torqued? If so is it just for CU's?
Morning all ,
I've seen a few threads about roofing bolt screwdrivers and thought I'd share an idea I've been using,
All it is , is a bit holder handle and a modified spade bit with hex /bit driver end this was a CK bit. ie cut to shape with a grinder
dunno the quality, but at this price has to be worth a punt, maybe as an apprentice's first st?

I was looking to treat myself to a new VDE screw driver set. I saw another thread on this forum put Wera at 30% of market. So I treated myself to the 16 Piece Kraftform Kompakt VDE Interchangeable Driver Set. I loved it.
But then I started to use it, I don't do much electrical work, so I save my...
Hello fellow electricians I was wondering if any of you have seen a VDE bit that allows different screwdriver heads to be placed in the end (If that makes any sense to you) I dont really want to keep buying different type heads when I can just swap them out from my little socket set many thanks.
Bit of a bargain at Screwfix at the moment. I lost one of my Wiha screwdrivers this week and also managed to chip a lump out of the blade on the really skinny flat blade. Anyway I went into Screwfix to get a couple of replacements and I wasnt sure if the one I lost was 3.5mm or 4mm, so the girl...
