Anyone tried one of these?

[Grey Master]

Came across these when browsing for something else:

Kewtech KEWLOK Lock Out Combination Kewlock | eBay

Anyone tried them?

I need something to lock off a breaker with and the local wholesalers aren't interested unless I want 10 or more :slap

Or is there better out there I haven't found yet? :yawn

Rip off e-bay...

You could have

one of these....

MK Sentry Locking Device | Screwfix.com

AND

one of these....

Wylex MCB Padlocking Kit | Screwfix.com

and still have change fore one of these... Guinness

:slap

p.s. you can normally get both the above items cheaper elsewhere..

think I paid a couple of quid each for a few of mine and a few quid more for a pack of miniature padlocks with common key from Wilko!

When I done my 2391 practical last week the tutor lent me that exact lockout device and must say it was a gooden. I use the little brass dolly lock for about a tenner from thefusecompany.com but must say this one is a bit better as padlock is attached so no separate keys to worry about.

How often do you honestly use your lockout kit. Assessment time only? Cheers

M4tty,

Very often on commercial/industrial as the point of isolation is often remote from where you are working.

Domestic, rarely unless the client has difficulties in understanding what I am explaining!

On assessment, rarely believe it or not, I normally task my assessor as being my watchman!

domestic: rarely

commercial: often. so much so, that they are kept in the tool bag

 

[Grey Master]

Never been mentioned at assements:O

Exactly that - Commercial. Twice I've had numpties switch the circuit back on whilst I've been working on it bad day explode

thankfully not while I had the wires out!!! "My machine wouldn't start" Muppets!!

Domestic - quite a lot, it seems to me that 3 year olds are very interested in what's in the cupboard under the stairs that the funny people with shiny tools are looking at. I don't trust them at all and I don't think any parent can watch the kids every second.

That should make sure he can't watch what you are doing then.

Dave,

You are not as dull as your Avatar makes you out to be!

When the safety police turn up, they like to see locked off and safety labeled breakers. Had them turn up the other day, ooops not locked off as C50 breakers.

I've always been told they don't lock off. They do just need a Wylex MCBLDX

So i now have a shiney new dolly lock and padlock.

 

[Andy™]

the lock i use (in my post above) will fit a crabtree C50.

i use a lock of device called a screw driver wip cover off, remove live conductor and put cover back on job done. :slap
