Cheapest Electrical suppliers.....

[Mustang]

Hello people

This question may have been asked before, but I was wondering which suppliers/wholesalers do you find the cheapest to buy from for general electrical supplies? Also where is reasonable to buy decent handtools? Cheers M

'Cheap' is an interesting word. I've just fitted 2 new garage CUs on separate jobs and both RCDs have failed testing. They were cheap but the replacements won't be.

I use CEF but they're not the cheapest. I was working away a week or so and went into Senate for the first time. They were fairly cheap and had an amazing stock. Otherwise I use Denmans if I can afford to wait for delivery.

Handtools I buy on the Internet, usually eBay or Lawson. I use CK mostly.

Hi Steamboatwilly, I know what you mean, not always best to buy 'cheap' but I suppose with anything you get what you pay for I have checked out Lawson's website that you have mentioned and they seem very competative-they've got the cheapest CK combicutters I can find anywhere!! Cheers for that! I'm gonna buy them!

Fab....good luck matey. BTW, TLC Electrical Supplies are also pretty good price-wise. They add VAT and postage but they are still quite good for some things. Every now and then Screwfix do good clearouts/bargains.

I use a couple of local small wholesalers, very reasonably priced and i can usually get a few more bob knocked off if i ask.

10 dual split load CU wylex with all breakers £69 all in.
They will both beat Screwfix (local branch is 2 miles away) on everything else.
