He could still have disconnected the customer's final circuits from the consumer unit though eh.

But if he did that it would have meant that the job would have been a touch more up to scratch, and that's just not Delboy.

I'm pretty sure he did toward the end.

Bizzare. I know most folks doing DIY decoration won't have any sort of sparky's kit, but really not even a Lidl-special combination pliers?

I could have sold her a pair of cutters for 10 euro

Could be wrong, but I remember the fuse holders coming out after testing of new circuit.

It looks to me that she has all the bits she needs

That's a bit tight No No NO , that shouldn't be on torque like that...

I'm starting to wonder if he really is acting like he doesn't have a clue.

Wonder when the penny dropped that it needed an FCU to feed the two double sockets ?!?! It very nearly didn't get one though.

Dustydazzler · May 25, 2022

The 2 new doubles sockets under the desk on a 2.5 leg would have never got overloaded , but the FCU was the proper way about it

Not the point though. In future times the desk may not be there and some might have plugged heaters or whatever in.

No need to wonder, he's definitely not acting.

Someone had obviously said something about it, probably in the edited comments on his YouTube page, and he ended up having to go back to the job.

He did look a bit embarrassed when saying "once that's done it will be perfectly correct and in good order ”. meaning, it wasn't after he first did it.

Back in the day we never had any fancy multi tools just a hammer and a screwdriver is all you need, here ill show you mate, there you go proper job.

mainline · May 30, 2022

Eh !! I thought that It was called a Turkey screwdriver because it was only to be used at Christmas.

At least he didn't use his 18v impact driver like most celeb sparks seem to be using

Maybe the batteries are flat, and he hasn't worked out how to do the charging part of it yet.

Del still uses one of these ( no battery req)

^^^ Fancy raw plug tool, still got mine to use with hammer.

Me as well. Doesn't get used very often, but occasionally it's the tool of choice.

Interesting. I've never seen one of those, but an older friend has this thing which I guess this is the successor, where you fit one end in a normal drill chuck and it hammers at 1 of 3 selectable rates.
A while back I had a play with it and it was a lot better than a masonry bit in a multi-drill.
