Bundy makes the Rolls Royce of temp site boards ...

[Lister1987]

Lewden Topter range exists for this purpose (and others) although DIY versions are certainly cheaper.

Topter is blooming expensive

A screwfix garage garage board and a couple second hand double sockets is a fraction of the cost

It comes to something when people feel the need to make a video of "How to build a temp board", that video was more like a practical exercise from when I was at college

Aside from the total overkill of 25mm² tails for 3 twin sockets I don't see that lasting more than a handful jobs once it has been thrown in the van a few times with all that breakable plastic

What's wrong with my twin metalclad RCD socket complete with a 20mm gland and 2.5mm 3 core HO7 flex - it connects into meters or 100a blocks very easily. Only used for CU changes to keep customers fridges/freezers powered up - which also translates as the kettle.

Reminds me of a rewire I did about 10 years back, a couple of days before I was due to start the customer calls me to ask whether any of the sockets would be on while I was doing the work I told him there would always be at least one working socket he replied with how can you be so sure my reply was every job needs somewhere to plug the kettle in

I agree... I think the main purpose of the video was to produce another video ! It can't be easy to invent new topics to keep a YouTube channel running and maintain subscribers/income.

I just looked, and as of just now, that site board video had 20k views... at between $7-15 per 1k views (average Youtube rates ?) that's somewhere between £100 and £220 he's earned already... and it's only been out for a few days.

If you can't make a temp board in then it's time you give up sparking.

It’s a job for the new apprentice.

It never ceases to amaze me the trivial tripe these people put on YouTube and the people that actually bloody watch it, it is a few socket outlets on a piece of board for heaven's sake.

There are celeb DIYers who get 2,000,000 watches just unboxing a new set of halfords spanners

Not really it opens the door for Tom dick or Harry think I can do that a non dip stick DIYer to have a crack at. Eleckdickertry is a dark work of heart. With a magic screwdriver we make things work and put back to gather thing peaple make a cock up of, the cretins that go on flootube should not give all the game away, send me a tool and will show you how to use it. It would be diffrant showing how to pleel a banana.
