    Poor Man's Multimaster £29.99 At Aldi

    Bought the chas Olson one after reading this thread. One of those tools that you only realise how much you need it once you have it. Don't use it enough to justify the fein one but the coltech branded one seems to be holding up just fine. Blades are the pricey bit, cancelled out by time and...

    Sheared Drain Cock

    Thats what I thought too. For that price it's worth chucking one in the bottom of my plumbing box. The 15mm self cutter has got me out of the doo doo a couple of times.

    cctv courses

    I did a course with http://www.systemq.com/ Heavy on the theory, very little practical and brain was leaking out of my ears by the end of day 2. Like all these things theory only goes so far. After the course bought a system and installed it in my house which helped get a better understanding also.

    Nuisance text from +447807766222, 07807766222, 07807 766222, +447807 766222

    It's a scam. They have acquired your mobile number from a questionable source(call centre probably) then text you looking to confirm your number is in use. Once that's confirmed they sell your number on or use it to batter you with sales calls/texts. Don't text back!

    insulation resistance testing bombshell

    Phew, thought it was just me missing the point. I close all the mcbs and IR test on the bars, only remove them if there's issues.

    armed box sinkers

    This looks interesting as long as you've got a team of plasterers at the back of you. Anyone tried one? http://www.moorcut.co.uk/electrician?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=108&category_id=53
