When something cut or fabricated fits perfectly "look at that, it fits like a glove on a chicken's head" Always makes me giggle for some reason.

When another trade is calling me/electricians lazy "I/we don't get paid for what we do, I/we get paid for what we know"

"stick some hair round it" was always a good site favourite too.

or chucking a shoe at you and making you bring it back.

Few more of mine.

"Were you at sea or p****d when you put that up?"
When struggling to to tighten something up: "Think of the french!"
And when pulling cable through conduit: "Pull it like a rapist off ya mum"

And not really a saying but may as well been with my last apprentice:

Me: Sure those connections are tight?, You know the punishment for failure. (Smashed accross the head with my driver)
App: Yup.

App: OUCCHHHHH!
Me: Thought you would of bloody learnt by now!
