Top 10 Items for a van

[andekoch]

I dont carry much either, tend to order per job. The wholesalers all deliver the next day any way. Plus it is unlikely that I can do a job immediately, usually a while off so just order.
That said I carry a few sockets, switches, surface boxes, earth cable (4, 10 and 16mm), T&E (2.5, 1.5, 3core and some 3 core flex), chockboxes, connector strips/ wago connectors (moving over to them now) and earth sleeving.
most useful seems to be flexible conduit, gromets, earth clamps and earth cable.
