A few months back I mentioned to my wife that I needed a new pair of snips and that I'd be nipping to the wholesalers at the weekend. I rang her the following day at lunch time, as you do, she said she had been to pick them up for me. I askedher where she got themexpecting to hear the name of our local guys but got answered with Wickes, intrigued I asked her how much she paid. £6.50 was the answer.
Blunt after the first few cuts. "stolen" the following day, Knippex pair bought the following saturday

Some Newlec gear is a good cheapish starter.

You can buy a full set of everything you will need for around £300-£400 and they are draper which is not too bad

Take a look at: www.sparksdirectsupplies.co.uk they have some pretty good prices.
I just bought a set of Kewtechnik insulated drivers from them for £14 + VAT most other places are charging £25-30 + for them. Had my last set of Kewtech drivers for nearly 9 years also on ebay ther'es a seller doing Kewtech pliers & cutters for £3.50 a pair. Forgot to mention, you get a 10% discount on your first order & free shipping over £50.

I've just got a trade card from screwfix and they do decent prices on tools, plus with the trade card you get a 10% discount

Nothing like a good Neon, i never leave home without mine Brilliant for getting muck from under your nails Lol & then for live testing, well what can i say :shocked:

 

[craig141]

if you go to screwfix and go in via the electrifix/plumbfix entrance, you can sign up for a trade card as long as you take qualifications to prove your a qualified sparky, its similar to a screwfix membership card exept you get better discounts on electrical products

Only thing that's good for is poking holes in the bottom of the Christmas cake to poor the brandy in!

Best tool for a new starter is a decent alarm clock!
