Is it necessary to put the NSH on RCD or RCBO's at all? I would say that 80% of NSH installs that i have seen are usually either trunked or are sat on top of skirting so no RCD or RCBO would be required.

Don't think they have to do AM2 anymore. Approved electrician would be a nvq3 or equivalent for the older members + 2391.

So are these just usable as a connector block for in the back of switches and spurs? Or have they got some inside some sort of enclosure like a JB? Never used any of these before.

Bonding plaster is the best thing for the job. It dries in no time and you don't even need to fix the boxes after.

I've got the Hitachi 10.8V set of drill driver and impact driver. They are superb bit's of kit and i now never use a 18V drill. I use the impact driver to drill holes in wood joists and it goes through like butter. The screwdriver drill is great as it's so light you can use it all day and it...

Was going to start a thread on this after watching the programme. The electrician seemed pretty clueless to me. It seemed he was saying that bare twin and earth was dangerous to the light. Although i agree that it should of been the rubber flex how many of us actually use it? It came out of the...

Where what? Part P hasn't superseded the regs yet has it? Apprenticeship done in late 90's, not like it makes any difference

But my test only covers the fixed installation. If i felt it necessary i may put it down in the exclusions. When i did my apprenticeship i remember the tutor telling me complying BS7671 was my only defence. I now that part p has since come in but to comply with part p i must comply with the...

I have an E71 Nokia. Its excellent. Not keen on the iphone.

What if you lost the main bit?

So it bears no relevance then, when i do my PIR. I'd like to know how anyone could come to be in any trouble because of it.

What are these shows like? Cheap tools and that? I've never been to one.

Is part p, part of BS7671?

I've been using the wera screwdrivers for a while now. I get them from Toolstation. About two thirds of the way down. I've now shifted onto the Stanley fatmax ones. Seem really good to hold and comfortable. I'd like to get the old Bahco ones the red and black ones but the sets are like
