    Socket Tester recommendations

    I’m looking to build my tools back up after a bit of bad luck. I’ve bought some screwdrivers, cutters etc. I’m just making a list of what I had. I’m just after a socket tester. I’ve seen Fluke now have one that looks very good. I did have just the basic Kewtech.

    Any recommendations for reliable Fluke repair please1587.

    Am absolutely gutted, my Fluke 1587 insulation tester appears it's had an unknown fatal incident. I was doing some testing a few days ago and was fine.

    REGULATORY BODY recommendations

    Hi, I had been with Elecsa for years as a Part P installer/tester. Then they were taken over by the NICEIC. I'm embarrassed to say that I hate them. Elecsa were great, they were great on the phone, the assessors were patient and polite and pleasant. I do not find the NICEIC to be any of those...

    Tin Snip Recommendations

    I’m looking to buy a decent set of Tin Snips, mainly for cutting ceiling grid. Rather than drilling it when fitting cables etc for CCTV. I’ve heard that Gilbow are Old School but that they are really good. But I’m also interested in other recommendations. Thanks
