    M16 Grommets

    Its plastic anyway so the grommet is a waste, Wiska Boxes have soft membrane entries in the back although i would still be tempted to apply a liberal amount of CT1 to keep any water out or fill the box with gel https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WK607B.html

    Side note the Wiska gland for tails has a converter available to go in a 32mm hole if required. Only Board i've seen with any fire seals is the Hamilton board, but as stated this isnt a requirement although id probably say it is still good practice. Far as knock outs go id much rather have gland...

    250Mtr Drive Way Lighting

    Are these going both sides of the driveway or just one? Either way if thats absolutely what the client wants then a 4mm swa each side with the fittings tee'd off it would be the sort of idea id be going for. Although spending that amount of money and sticking the lights in trees rather than...

    A More Rationalized Solar Panel?

    Focusing the light would probably end up generating more heat which reduces their efficiency somewhat. Reflected light is used in some industrial solar applications on the continent but the  required equipment wouldnt make sense on a domestic or small commercial property.

    Armeg Screwdriver Set

    Have to agree with regards to the bit retention on the Wiha set, its probably the only thing that lets it down for me. If the bit release could be locked in some way i would be a super happy bunny as it stands i may look at other options in the near future. Edit The Armeg set looks quite...
