Resealing Tool

[m4tty]

Hi,

Does anyone use this type of thing to reseal after cutting?

Any feedback appreciated. Not wanting to start the cut/dont cut debate just looking for constructive comments from people who use these tools.

ThanksGuinness

Cheers

The seals used by DNOs (used to work for DNO) are identified to the sealer (person doing the sealing) by a district number and employee number. Just sealing with ordinary pliers is a give away to DNO that seal has been tampered with or replaced.

but they would rather see it has been sealed rather than left open wouldnt they rev?

My mainfuse has never been sealed and the carrier just falls off, ive had to take the cupbaord door handle off so the kids cant get in there. Gonna put a cable tie through it temp just incase kids got in there but was thinking of sealing it properly.

Andy do you use that seal wire then use crimps?

cheers

I sent that seller a question, because he contradicted himself on eBay, compared to his website.

He never replied and I hate that. Therefore, I would never buy anything off of that seller.

I would rather pay the extra and get what I need from a proffessional comapany.

I have done this for years!

I use those ones and normal cutters to seal them. I have noticed you can now buy the flag seals which I will buy next time I run out, link below.

the seals matty linked to are the ones i use. they are the same as the EDF sub-contractors and metering services use, EDF metering themselves use ones revjames is talking about with a number on them, and if you have been found tampering i believe they use something i saw the other day looks like a plastic paddlock!

when you fit meters you sign for your sealing pliers and sign them back . dont worry about cutting seals to do a job , you can ring and tell them you have had to cut them in the course of the job but i wouldnt bother .
