During my installation I've been mostly limited to mounting strut to concrete walls and floors in order to...

    Cable measuring device

    I’m just after a tool that my uncle used to measure cable lengths. The device goes into the conductors and then gives you a reading. Any idea what it is and where I could buy one. I would try google but I’m not sure what the device is, and my uncle bought it a long time ago.

    Seeking Dewalt Battery HOUSING 20v

    It appears that this may be a UK only forum, but I will at least ask around if that is allowed. I am in search of the small DeWalt 20v battery housing. I have contacted DeWalt themselves, but they do not offer it for sale. Is there anyone that knows where I can find a nice, pristine housing or two?

    How many of you use a Leatherman or similar multi-tool or EDC on a regular basis?

    Idly wondering if many use such a tool... I find mine very useful for odd tasks, and a godsend for certain others, like when you are back up the ladder and you need a knife/file/scissors/small screwdriver. Many are one-handed operation and give you just the tool you need from time to time.
