What I SAY    is, "Don't forget to buy a Torque Screwdriver". What I MEAN is, "Don't forget to buy one of my Torque Screwdrivers". SBS Dave

Hi Mouk, For the record, I don't have a problem supplying to your electrician and you paying for it. I have a few customers who do exactly that. Transfer of Title would occur at the time of payment in full. You could pay my Invoice by BACS, so that there is some proof of ownership on your...

Hi Kerching, I have just posted the Torque Screwdriver to you, complete with the 4 blades you specified + a (used) PH2 blade with extra exposed tip. I modify them myself until Felo bring out the reduced shank version next year. I have left the cut-off insulation ferrule on, to more or less...

By way of clarification, Essex1, are you using the word "accessory", in an Electrical Catalogue sense, or as defined by BS7671:2008 AMD3? Accessory:  A device, other than current-using equipment, associated with such equipment or with the wiring of an installation. SBS Dave

I'm not getting involved in the discussion, but since we are talking about the implications of BSEN61439-3, it is interesting to note what it says on the subject. On my Torque Screwdriver Price List, I published a table from BSEN61439-3. Column II of "Tightening Torque", shows recommended...

Just posted on the Torque Screwdriver thread, so I may get an evaluation of my Torque Screwdriver. If any of the Forum Members who have bought my TS, want to comment, I would appreciate that. NOW THE BAD NEWS. 4 Cartons of Compact RCBOs left China last week , but only 3 arrived at my place...

Hi Kerching, I know about your other pressing matters, so I won't add to your load. Let me know if you want to evaluate my Torque Screwdriver Handles and Blades and, when you are ready, I will send you whatever combination you need. SBS Dave

Since I have been invited to join the debate, I will do. ProDave has hit the nail right on the head, with his question, Has your "head electrician" had a look at your installation and checked the type and size of cable? That would have been the easiest, fastest, safest, most logical way to...

JUST TO REMIND YOU OF MY FELO TORQUE SCREWDRIVER RANGE I have all the blade types in stock and can also offer an extra exposed tip version (the horizontal one shown) for deep terminals. MY CURRENT DEAL Buy 1 x Felo Torque Screwdriver handle (£45.00) and 1 x blade (of your choice) (£5.00) and...

Hi Tony, Thanks for the diagram, which shows the slots, exactly like mine. Presumably, the manufactured plate would be finished in such a way, as not to necessarily show the slot filler. SBS Dave

Hi Essex1, At least we agree that both methods are technically equal. Whether a Wiska gland looks better or not is of course, as you rightly point out, a matter of personal opinion.. I imagine you will not be taking up my offer of the free metal box. My main interest however, is what is in...

Hi Rob, The slot idea is not mine and is an established method for eliminating eddy currents. I have just applied it to multiple glands. The photo of the box shows vertical oval knockouts, but that was an earlier sample. My current product has square knockouts. That is why I am recommending...

BYB 522.8.5, states "Every cable or conductor shall be supported in such a way, that it is not exposed to undue mechanical strain and so that there is no appreciable mechanical strain on the terminations of the conductors, account being taken of mechanical strain imposed by the supported weight...

The first photo shows an example of the linked hole drilling, that I mentioned earlier . The second photo shows a rough, handmade back knockout insulation idea, made from busbar insulator. If I offered it as a supplied item, it would be made to a better standard. It is fairly secure as it is...

You may recall on earlier posts, that I not only showed photos of the three holes being linked together with slots, I also suggested using a nibbler to cut the slots. The good news is, that the arrangement is so f***ing neat, that you didn't see the slots. I have bridged the slots with white...

Hi Noz, Glad you like my mini-trunking stand-off frame idea. It's easy, effective and cheap. Another good idea (IMHO), is the 3-gland solution for meter tails entry. The attached photos show a sample metal  board, which has now been replaced by my current range. It is an 8-mod/6-way box...

SH*T SIDEWINDER, YOU ARE A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW!!  But here goes. BSEN61439-3 has not changed and recognises plastic as a suitable enclosure material, as long as it meets the Glow-coil tests, as per IEC60695-2.   The only document (and a non-statutory one at that) that requires a...

As promised, attached are pictures of the Old and New versions of my box. The smaller one is the earlier version and you can see it is not as tall as the new one. Also the knockouts are now square, as opposed to the peculiar vertical knockouts. The box is also wider like-for-like, which gives...

Hi kerching Tomorrow, I will post photos showing the difference between the sample and the production model. The new box is taller than the sample and it is wider, giving a large space to the side of the Main Switch for the tails. This results in different DIN rail mounting brackets and I can...

Hi kerching, Following our lengthy discussion on the phone just now, I can confirm that my new range of boxes are the same as the one you trialled for me. However, there have been a few improvements from that earlier sample, notably the back knockouts. I would appreciate your honest opinion...
