[Pete999]

[littlespark]

Ebay

 

[Pete999]

Ebay

Nah too much

 

[Midwest]

Friggin BQ got some, just look a bit closer!

 

[telectrix]

Nah too much

£1.39 with free post too much???? it's only 1/5 of a bottle of red.

 

[littlespark]

Yes try eBay. Some clown will charge £5 for a bit cos he’s pre cut it to the right length for a fuse holder.
No need to buy a full card of it when 2 inches will do

 

[Midwest]

Look you lot. Forget eBay, Pete needs to just pop down BQ again, look again at the shelves in the electrical section, aisle 8 I think it is, far left-hand side next to plug tops & insulation tape. Its there, probably mixed up with the plug tops.

that's 21p dearer than ebay, add cost of fuel, possible pint or 3 on way home, breathalyser.

Woolworths.

 

[MJPD29]

I usually find mine in people's houses when changing boards so I can't help you there

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

Home base sell it either own brand card of it or the arlec brand. i picked some up few weeks back when in there

I don’t know how they make any profit on that!
Homebase won’t be selling it that cheap!

 

[Midwest]

Woolworths.

You silly arse, local stores have been closed years gone by.

 

[Midwest]

The old stuff's the best

I keep reels of all sizes from 5A-100A on the van, hardly ever need them now. I could have made you a nice card of wires!

well, that's cutting edge technology in Devon, innit?

 

[Toneyz]

I have some reels of them somewhere Pete.

 

[Dave OCD]

I've liberated the occasional card when doing CU changes but more often throw it in the bin with the old fuseboard these days, then suddenly you need a little bit, as Pete has discovered.

 

[DefyG]

Online 'Made in China'!

 

[Bellendian]

Every time Pete goes to B&Q he gets told to FTO after some DIYer catches him chatting up their Mrs, he never gets a chance to find the fusewire!

 

[ipf]

This ferker found some...…..

…….'till, when he restarted a machine.... it blew and fizzed, splattering and burning a blokes bald head. He was sat near the open dis board...…...

 

[snowhead]

Olde Locale Hardwaree Shoppe will have it.

Trouble is it's probably harder to find an Olde Hardware shop than a card of fuse wire.

Maybe Wilkos

I think 445 metres might be slightly exceeding Pete's needs!

You can't ever have enough fuse wire, surely

It’s all fun and games till you snap the fuse wire

I think you are missing out on replacing a consumer unit work.
