so the other day i was install 2 400v commando sockets and after I'd finished testing my modular interchangeable bit and handle no were to be seen or found out of a set so no I have to get a new one ,

Any one else lost anything recently on the job ?

No it's my fishing wire where rods won't go !

Cant beat an old coat hanger. Or even just a bit of bull wire does the job.

That's sad, very sad. We all become attached to such things.

Nearly as annoying is people with grubby hands thinking they can borrow my tools.

Guys today is a good day!

I picked up my new toys and I've just been sorting my gear out and found the missing handle and bit in my MFT bag under the divider

Not lost tools related, but tools none the less

Just picked up my first 110v transformer and angle grinder... even treated myself to a 110v extension lead, can't wait to try them out on a renovation project I'm starting tomorrow

Lost tool related though, I did nearly put my Knipex installation pliers at the bottom of an 8ft cavity... thankfully a Wagobox acted as stunt double for the fall and alerted me to the presence of said cavity... all tools perched on the edge were quickly retrieved

When involved in a rewire always check you tools before relaying any flor boards you have had up during the rewire. I lost a wonderful pair of Eliot Lucas Pliers, the ones with the thick red insulation, under a floor, never did find them, gutted.

What's the renovation project? I've just finished one in Cornwall and hoping to start on in Wales just as soon as I find the right place

An existing customer wants to convert a dilapidated outhouse into a man cave and office. It's not huge, but it's a new sub-board, couple of socket circuits, lighting circuit, heater circuit and all that goes with it. And of course a few changes from the original specification... no job would be complete without them

It's all getting a bit tight in the corner where the CU is going, so just been to pick it up to make sure everything is good. Important thing is I have site power sorted (disconnected the old CU and slapped a metal clad socket on the end of the SWA supplying the building), must have music on a long job like this

Where are you looking in Wales? I know a good spark (or two) in the area if you need assistance

I bought the Makita site radio last Christmas, one of the best purchases I've made

I'm looking round the north Pembrokeshire area, possibly a little further up towards the Brecon Beacons. The plan is to get somewhere with a couple of old outbuildings to convert into holiday lets.
