Light mates,,, invaluable or un-necessary expense

[NozSpark]

Now if it was a desalt I might have had some bits you can have, but never mind

I guess you're in the same situation as I was a few months ago,,,, cheap or good???

 

[steptoe]

yep, but been counting the pennies, and reckon I can stretch to one of these, if we get a bit off hopefully.

then will try build up my cordless gear around that, my kit is all a mismatch of cheap rubbish TBH, but has served its purpose at the time,

the ryobi was bought 6yr ago for

Cordless is always a pain in the bottom end cuz the tools normally have far more life in em that the batteries can give...

but when the Batts DO need replacing it is 99% always cheaper to by a full tool & battery rather than paying a nominal cost for just a Battery!

SOME batteries cost more than CAR batteries FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!headbangheadbangheadbang:red card

The above looks like a cracking deal, I withdraw my offer on the lightmate kit as this is obviously a better offer.

Depends what test kit you have whether they are worthwhile... I used a aphatek all in one a while back and that was a juggling act to get three probes on and hit go, my current megger loop tester however only has two leads (even on no-trip) and will autostart when it sees volatage, so dead easy to use probing the lamp holder

 

[steptoe]

2 probes or 3,

I still dont fancy doing a Zs on a fancy metal fitting without using lightmates,

in fact it may well go against good working practice to try and put your probes into the lampholder without something like a lightmate.

you could always drop the fitting I suppose, but then you need a fourth hand to hold the fitting while you test, and if there is no earth at it you get a good dig possibly!
