    Anyone else bother double-certing?

    If a board change is for a rental I will do the EIC first and then do an EICR thereafter (complete with loads of C1s and C2s for the awful workmanship present at the board)..!! That way I get to change the board over again!! A great little earner !!!

    New MFT - opinions

    Predictable answer Dave with all due respect. In the real world with both Megger testers I have had, both have had a tendency to drift marginally from the original 0.0 benchline. For whatever reasons I often find nulling leads repeatedly over a short duration can result in differences that...

    New MFT - opinions

    I don't know what tester you use Dave so you may not be grasping what I am saying. Maybe my wording could have been better. With the Megger 1500's you could null the leads and get 0.0 ohms (obviously if they are nulled!), then you could take the probes apart and if you then touched them...

    New MFT - opinions

    I find the 1700 series null function pretty inconsistent TBH. I also dislike that they don't have negative values for continuity testing - makes it a chore to attain accur accurate results. Although saying that I do find Megger test results pretty damn consistent which instills faith..

    Spent a few hours stripping today

    It's even worse than that Tel, I'm a Mancunian born and bred ? ?

    Domestic inspection and testing what is required? England-Wales

    As far as I can tell it is either a satisfactory EICR or an EIC (for a full rewire only) that are deemed sufficient until the next inspection date. Tenants very often decide to change light fittings willynilly and occasionally do so very badly. So yes, decent inventories by landlords is not a...

    Which downlights do you use?

    Have had no known failures with Enlite E8 and E5s. They are a budget option but last well. Have been using them for around three years at a guess, maybe longer. They are easy push in terminals once you get used to the angle, although the CPCs are a smidgeon more time consuming.

    Crimping tool

    Just speaker wires.. Just twist em together that's what I used to do with no issue. If I couldn't find insulation tape I would use a bit of sellotape instead. Sounded great!

    Compound mitre saw.

    I've had the Bosch GSM8SJL for a few years now. Cracking single bevel mitre saw for the price with great cut length. Mitre saws are more likely to stay accurate if they are not lugged about in and out of vans a lot. Mine has been lugged about a lot and is still sufficiently accurate.

    Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)

    I remember (fondly (?)) when my otherwise intelligent ex wife asked whether a lunar eclipse was when the sun came between the Earth and our moon....hmmmm... That would be a hot day...????

    Cable trays in domestic installation

    I've only installed tray and galv conduit in a domestic situ once. But that was in a garage and was to create an industrial look. Only benefit in a loft space is that it could make it easier to access cables in the future for additions etc, rather than having to hunt around under a foot of loft...

    Veto Pro Pac Tech LC or Tech XL

    I do like the veto gear but feel most of their options lack space for bigger tools such as drills, site lights and boxes for screws, clips etc etc. Plus the cost is exorbitant. I don't mind paying for quality - I actually prefer to - but with veto there is too many small upright pockets on my view.

    Veto Pro Pac Tech LC or Tech XL

    As on outside bet you could consider the following. I have had the 30" version for nearly two years now and it is still in really good condition. It's a very versatile system too with loads of options to customise it to suit bigger tools and boxes etc etc...
