For example,
Ever noticed how on a double pole 45A switch your replacing for a cooker (for example)
They always manage to put the Load terminals at the top. And the Supply terminals at the bottom.
Surely after all these years manufacturers would have considered that 9 times out of 10 the supply is likely to be coming down to the switch, with the load fed from the bottom.
I bet I'm not the only one to have a moan about this one. :yes:
 
Other trades borrowing a "cross head" screwdriver and using MY philips to try to undo a pozidriv screw.
Result = knackered driver :nono:

Item 1; "Other trades" are more likely to be allowed,a squeeze of mr.pegs' good ladys' boob,than a tool-borrow...

Item 2; The fixings should be the casualty,not your drivers...unless they are carved from a bread-stick...:p
 
Niglon...(I think)...951 clamps my CEF stocks have reduced the size of the label clamping nut so that it is now smaller than the head of the clamp screw. A seemingly minor change until you try and get a tool onto the frigging nut. Swear?...not 'effin much.
 
Cheap crappy terminals in basic switches and sockets. They all seem to be square shaped and the screw seems too small for the terminal which makes the conductor ride up the side of it when you tighten!

i loved contacting accesserories but they were going bust a while ago so my shop decided to stop selling there stuff :(
