Dressing in 10mm cables

[dnjr]

Dear All
Have to terminate 2 x 10mm t&e cables in a back box and isolator switch ( for a shower )
Gone for a double 46mm box and cooker switch but can’t find a tidy way to dress the cables into the box
So. What do people do. Cut them shorter and pre bend etc or leave them longer and curl them around the box
Don’t have popeye hands and am struggling
Advise appreciated

Thats why you have a proper shower in your house, no faffing around with electrics.

A good length?
Sheath?
Give it a good rub to warm it up?

Jeez I've got a juvenile mind.

Be wary there is a forum stalker that dislikes innuendos........... ;o))))

I remember when I first started I hated 10mm, could never get it right first time, constantly defeated ha. Soon get to a point where you get it just right every time.

Northern softies, wait until you have to dress in an armoured cable in 3 ft of snow in a blizzard and terminate it to some switch gear, 10mm is for p!!ssie electricians who make a "Youtube" video about the experience in an annoying Aussie or Saffa twang........... ;o))))))

You forgot to add the bit about improving his finger strength.

If the lights on the outside where the balcony is are still in place I remember terminating the pyro ends off in December 1984 in a foot of snow, it was hard work.
