    Right, I'm off to do the Elex show at Sandown Park so won't be able to sort out any more samples until next week if anyone else is interested. I also only have a limited number left ;) Phil

    Fire clip installation

    Yeah, the cheaper end ones can do that unfortunately. Heavy duty masonry and excessive pressure can also be factors. 160mm long ones are the commonest size but do allow a little 'flex'. We do a 110mm version that is a little more rigid.

    Fire clip installation

    As the prototypes are only 6mm at the minute, anything that requires a short 6mm hole in masonry. At that diameter it will probably be more likely to be the Linian type clips as the metal fold-in strap type ones require a direct masonry screw like a DeWalt Wall Dog. These type of screws are...

    Hi TEF, Any of you lovely lot heavily involved with Fire Clip installation? Specifically ones that require a 6mm hole? If so, I'd be extremely grateful for some help.

    Wifi into office/man cave

    I ran an ethernet cable from our main router to our man cave at the bottom of our garden. A run of about 55m. We lose a bit over that length but not too much. I took the cable into a socket. A lead connects this to a gigabit switch and more leads from that feed a smart TV, a wireless access...

    Colour blindness

    Thanks for that. This is the kind of thing he had to cope with. The test states that you only have 5 seconds to come up with an answer too so there's pressure. There are also slides that have no numbers so you have to say 'nothing' as an answer. But for someone who is nervous they are going to...

    Colour blindness

    Well he does want a Ferrari... It's more to do with how personable a bunch Sparks are in my opinion and the conversations I have had. In my time doing this I have spoken to lots of different trades. I have got on the best with Sparks and Tilers - they seem to be the most content with their...

    Thank you. He can't wait to get amongst it. Maybe his interest is down to all the good things his Dad's told him about electricians he's met along the way :) And thank you for the DM's. Very much appreciated Phil

    Colour blindness

    Final Update! So we spent a few days 'practicing' Ishihara tests online in preparation for his re-test yesterday evening. Really pleased to say he smashed the test with 100%. Thanks for all your responses, advice and encouragement. It's really appreciated. My lad's absolutely buzzing and...

    Colour blindness

    Quick update. The lad is booked in for another Ishihara test at a different opticians next Monday. Just in case he was a bit blasé and cocksure about the first one. He is going to practice online beforehand. I've emailed JTL who say that every test result is taken on its merits and wanted me to...

    Colour blindness

    I've contacted the other course provider and they have also said he needs a colour blindness test. They are going to contact me with more details on that. JTL have an online colour blindness test which he passed 100%. They specify the Ishihara test to be carried out by an optician which is the...
