New tape measure recommendations

[elsparko]

Stanley do a twin pack two 8m tapes for £10 at screwfix. I normally just ask a skint electrical apprentice if he wants the other for £5. I've given old tools to apprentices hacksaws, terminal drivers etc they used to get a £200 voucher for tools not anymore.

Best tool I bought was a pvc drylining box marker with the level on the top for marking out boxes for a fiver.. 1 or 2 gang.

It's funny the amount of older sparks who dont know what it is one lad saw me using mine last year grabbed it just grinned at me an walked off asked me to get him one lol.

house bashing these are a must have, shame the springs arent long enough usually though, that little "half box" that makes up the double socket cutout size is ideal for spacing between boxes too
