Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Step 5 find out where telectrix lives and steal one out the back of his van.

Found this today on a PRS EICR it was the places first test in 10 years after being built. Due to the lack of plastic pieces in the enclosure I can only assume the original installers knew they had done it and left it like that!

Or did you break it trying to get out and blame other peaple. Lol

 

[SparkySy]

No buzz unfortunately I was just there to swap it for a non broken one! With installing & testing the new one I was there less than 20mins and Mr torqueey torque driver made sure I didn't do what they did!?

Another EICR with a dodgy RCD.
Power off, cover off, quick start with a visual.

Saw this straight away.
Tried to tighten it, but wouldn’t tighten at all. Assumed they’d put it behind the clamp, so pulled the tail out.
They’ve actually managed to somehow snap the clamp so it will not tighten, so it’s just been resting in there ever since.

FYI, house was newly built 2 years ago!

That's the trouble with Torque screwdrivers. ?

Ok.... so have you replaced it, or left them with the dodgy untight cable until you can replace?

 

[Dustydazzler]

So they snapped the screw clamp and just left it flapping in the wind. Lovely ?

You mean 18v impact drivers

 

[Mike Johnson]

No No the Torque driver is to jamb into the terminal to hold the conductor in place ? it would be the most useful thing I'm used mine for.

So use the torque screwdriver as a pry bar and one of these to tighten the terminations...?
