Used this before on a job i didnt specify, awful stuff. Stick with a named brand. Has anyone seen the stuff being sold in screwfix lately? Think the brand was 'BG'............breakers for £4, rcbo's for £16..........how can they knock this stuff out so cheap!

What do you lot tend to use?

Ive been using BG but the prices seem to have gone up recently.

And the problem is?

I use Wylex and Crabtree - and avoid cheap shxt like the plague.

You need to "balance" installing decent kit you trust with cheaper stuff and the risk of failures/call backs
