Replacing a Socket the 4 Homes way

[Phil]

No mention of any safe isolation, no mention of a volt meter never mind an approved voltage indicator if you want its full title anywhere in the tool list,
Socket back box and faceplate
Cold chisel
Plaster filler
Hammer
Hammer drill and masonry bit (12-18mm)
Electrical screwdriver
Pliers
Wire strippers or craft knife
Gloves
Goggles
Pencil
Spirit level

oh and on the tip list it says to get it signed off by an electrician when you have finished;
finished what? having a cardiac on the floor because you did not check it was safe to work on

Are the complaints about the 3-way cube adaptors partly to do with the fact that they are rated for a 13A draw (as per fuse), but in reality, the load could exceed that for quite a while before the fuse goes?

I think its more for the more common unfused cube adaptor. Otherwise 4/6 way extension leads would really be up against it!
