Not come across one and had to do work on it before. other than seeing them around and not much thought given to it. The supply comes in to...

    First MFT - thoughts on Di LOG 9083p?

    Good evening! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Di Log 9083p 17th edition MFT. I am looking to get my first MFT and this seems to be coming up as a nice cheapish "starter" one compared to the more expensive Fluke and Megger ones available second hand. They are popping...

    Thoughts on the Megger MFT1711?

    what are your thoughts on the MFT1711? I'm looking to setup shortly and realise this is aimed as a kind of starter kit. Is it worth it or should I go for something with more bells and whistles like the 1731? I'm giving it thought as I've been offered a 1711 at a respectable price? Any thoughts...

    Connecting main protective bonding conductor into MET thoughts

    Any thoughts about connecting main protective bonding conductors into the MET instead of distribution boards? Watched a spark do it the other day and never really thought about it myself. Achieves the same result so it shouldn't be an issue.

    Who uses a tool belt?

    The age old problem of full pockets, never being able to find anything (usually my keys!) constantly being nagged at by the wife for emptying my pockets on the side when I get home leads me to the thought of using a tool belt. My thoughts arr I can take off and leave in the van at the end of...

    Thoughts on twisting CPCs together.

    Just wondering on peoples thoughts on twisting CPC's together. Worked with multiple sparks over the years some do it some don't. The ones who do it argue that there is less chance of losing continuity, as even if they do become loose in the back of accessories they are still twisted together...

    So what's your thoughts

    On the new Top Gear show. I was a huge fan of the old one but having watched last nights attempt at a revamp I think they should bury it and let it become a distant fond memory. The big surprise for me was that I actually preferred Matt Le Blance to chris evans, I took a peek on the top gear...
