Hi Guys
Think it's time I brought myself a 'decent' punch down tool.
Any recommendations would be appreciated ? Been eyeing up both of these......

Sundays are the day when I take my middle daughter to our local ice rink for a little skate around.
I started going when I was 15, then came back to it when we moved back to the borders in ‘07…. I got dragged into tutoring at the club… teaching the small ones the basics…. Taught all 3 of mine...

Any other stories?
Cheers,

As a contractor, what sort of things you generally look for in a cordless drill? What will be the factors to pick the cordless drill in this case? which brand will be most reliable? Would greatly appreciate any advice from you guys…Thanks
Amazon have kindly given me £10 off £25 spend. I don't care much for tat, so figured it might as well go towards a new tool.

Hi,
It's got to a point that our poor car just isn't cutting the mustard anymore. It was never designed to be used as an electricians car. Up to now I've managed, but I've got much bigger jobs coming up needing to work at height, transporting conduit and so on, so it has to go.

Unfortunately some soap spilled into the connector box of my 24v cabinet lighting and ruined the connections on the female power supply end and the male connection on each of the lights.
