    Good LOTO box for 16A Plug

    It's really as the title suggests, I need a LOTO box for a 16A plug for a job I've got guys on in a couple of weeks and I've never purchased them myself. Normally our LOTO involves locking off at a breaker/main power switch. This job is different and there's going to be generators on site and...

    Best tool for cutting(removing) stainless steel cable ties.

    Hi all, Just to be clear, this is not for cutting off the excess when installing stainless ties, I already have the Partex tool for that. I mean removing them at a later date, and not damaging the existing cables. Aviation snips are no good, you can't get the jaws in far enough to where it...
