Hi all, Does anyone use/wear Snickers APS waterproof trousers? If so, what do you think? Are they any good? ?:| How waterproof are they? Can you kneel in a puddle and still be dry? How well does the fabric wear? Thanks, J. :innocent

Hi there I thought the number related to the voltage rating? O.

Hi guys, I am after some waterproof work trousers. I'm not sure if I want some over trousers, or just waterpproof trousers. I am normally a snickers sort of guy (all my trousers are snickers), so I'm considering Snickers APS waterproof trousers. What does ever one else wear? They need to be...

Hi guys, What do most of you use H05RR-F or H05RN-F for outside flex? Thanks, J. :good night:

All, Got to fit a room stat into a Y plan (which doesn't have a room stat). Do I simply fit it in series with the HTG output from the controller (white wire to the mid port). So controller HTG goes to room stat common/L1. White wire to L3 But does L2 go to the Neutral terminal? (or do I...

Hi there, When I worked at Rolls Royce, we tested new MCBs and performed scheduled testing of existing MCBs. This was many years ago - where we had a custom made injector (testers weren't that common then). Nowadays there are some decent testers about - but they aren't cheap! :o MCCBs/ACBs...

unfortunately you'll always find this :( In the last two weeks i've done some pat'ing - where class 1 kit had been passed when it had no earth. Table lamps had been passed with 13a fuses, melted plug top - list goes on. I also did some remedial work at an industrial machine shop, been...

Wait until you start playing with ACB's and current injectors ;) O.

hi guys Went back today. The value operates fine - its not sticking, no worn gears. The clicking is the motor deenergising and then reemergising around the midport position - hence its rocking and not stalled. Basically the was the value at fault - a faulty switch inside. A new value solved it...

Hi all, Got called to look at a boiler swap out, plumber had simply swapped the existing boiler for a new on, and added a pump overrun cable from the boiler to the pump. He never tested the correct operation of the old boiler first. Basically the new boiler seems to work ok, but the heating...

Hi guys, As these are trade/domestic they are lighter than most aluminium steps - 10.4Kg (ali tends to be 14Kg). The industrial versions are heavier. They won't get daily use - hence I'm happy not having the industrial versions. Anyone own a set? O.

Hi all, Does anyone have/use a Lyte Fibre Glass combination ladder like the following: http://www.ladderstore.com/glass-fibre-combination-ladder-pi-1536.html?image=0&osCsid=98b81f9f80501020352f89f7bf200c78 This is the light trade version (not the yellow industrial one). Thanks, O. ps -...
