scroll forward to about the 10 min mark , genius.. :)
 
Didn't see this before I listed him in ones I occasionaly watch in another thread - doh!

Not much note of it in the YT comments interestingly - and can't immediately think of a regulation it would break

Certainly a (marginally perhaps) better option than the flat I had to change a CU where they used a bare copper through joint of the sort you use in underground gel joints then wrapped it in tape
 
This is where being too loyal to one brand can cause you to inadvertantly be blind. Crabtree boards have L/H main switch. MK boards (still abvailable) also have L/H main switch. Even if I hated either of those two makes, I'd probably have just gone down that route bcause the product would be more fit for purpose.

Also I imagine he's far more qualified than me, butI wouldn't dream of giving any conductor a haircut. Really grinds my gears that.
 
In a few of his videos it shows he's not got the 'finger on the pulse' as you'd expect (giving a cable a haircut when a reducing lug would have been fine, not knowing about earth leakage clamp meters (maybe not his fault given age and not having them in his day) and stuff you just end up going....'really?'.

I watch them for entertainment, more often that not for things NOT to do. I'm not perfect by any stretch but it shows how distracting the whole YT thing can make you.

I'll say this much, I'm liking @ArtElectrics recent employ, guy strikes me as level headed, a few bad habits no doubt but am seeing him knock the shine off Jordan's work a bit and making Jordan's look sub-par.
 
If that was me and it was an all metal board, I would have just swapped out the MCB's for RCBO's and been done, oh yes and tidying up those cables too what a mess to start with! And he could of split the 25mm earth over two terminals if it wouldn't fit into 1.
Poor from Del, I usually like his stuff but the last couple have made me start to wonder.

The alarms rang pretty quickly for me with Del.

I really wish I could bring myself to watch his videos. It's just his voice and demeanor. I cant stomach it. Droany voice and smug face.

I'm sure he is a lovely guy and a quality sparks but he dont hold my attention

A bit Too much waffling for me , some of his Vids have some decent informative content but it’s sandwiched between a lot of faff imo.
He did a good video afew months ago taking some footage inside an old family bakers, it was different and a easy watch.
but recent videos you can only watch so many car chargers being installed before it gets dull...
 
It went downhill for me when he said the mains position was all good yet at 5:24 none of the main switches looked to have a grommet or grommet strip on the hole where the tails entered the enclosure
 
At the beginning he complains bitterly that there is not enough room on either side of the existing CU, (what's the problem) but looks as though he puts a new one in of the same dimensions?

More important than torque, is to settle the strands of the cable as you tighten the screws. Pity that a few more meter installers aren't familiar...
