    Cheap as chips

    So was trawling the Screwfix website checking out 45amp double pole switches for a new shower circuit I first fixed this evening. Seen a marbo effort for £1.55!! Can only imagine this falls apart at the thought of the screw being tightened onto a 10mm cable! Anybody used these before?!
