    Beware getting stuff on eBay originating abroad as VAT and duty can bump the price a lot higher

    what dewalt drills to get4electrics?

    Not one I have used. I have a T5 and a 117. Think they are much more expensive. The twin pack DeWalt seems dear. They have done similar ones with 4-5 Ah batteries for similar price but the offers change all the time.

    A decent Fluke multimeter is an essential tool. Keep an eye on Screwfix for offers on a starter kit in either DeWalt or Makita and you won't go wrong

    Day 2 trade school and proving a point

    Hope you get into it as the shortage of skilled workers for almost any trade is staggering. Should not matter what sex you are but know some are biased. We just need more younger people full stop coming into trades

    Twin pack from somewhere like Screwfix with decent battery 4-5AH is a good starting point. If you get one with two batteries you. An then start building a set with bare units. Personally I have DeWalt. I have used Makita a lot and not much between them Milwaukee are a slight step up but don't...

    Battery What brand power tools (battery) you are happy with ?

    Own mainly De Walt and had Makita at place I used to work. Both very similar in performance and quality. Also used Milwaukee and think it is a very slight step up in quality but not sure it is worth the price difference unless you can find a very good deal Ultimate are Hilti virtually...

    RCD or RCBO consumer unit

    I like Schneider ones as that is what I have most experience of from years of industrial work. Having looked at fusebox ones I am leaning that way.

    RCD or RCBO consumer unit

    I have eight RCDs and only use seven. The Schneider one I think is 12 and comes with eight RCBOs and will cover what I need

    RCD or RCBO consumer unit

    It lives above kitchen cupboard. I was going to box it in when I fitted the kitchen but it didn't happen. Glad now as plenty of room.

    Hi . I normally do industrial electric work. Usually on Schneider and Merlin Gerin boards I am looking at fitting a new consumer unit at home and seem to be getting two versions of which board would suit best. Either a dule RCD board with MCBs Or A board with all RCBOs. Which would be best...
