I don’t think a lump hammer to the hands make any difference.
I’ve smashed my thumb on a vast number of occasions with a big hammer while chasing walls… and it still works… mostly.

So long as he's still got that Fluke meter then he'll be reet.OH NO
Del had his Van broke into and they stole his Veto bag with all is tools in it and his drills and his MFT. There really are some scummy people out there to nick a tradesmans tools which he needs to make a living. Scummy thiefs
he should ask bundy for a hand out.
Although I’m sure there are more needy than del
Sometimes the bad guys do get rough justice when they have been caught. I remember a fairly amusing incident. A small pub in my hometown back in Scotland. Bloody goldmine it was...like a cartoon pub where they all rushed in for opening and they drunk hard until lights out.
Anyway the pub in question was owned and run at the time by 2 boxers who had both fought and won in the Commonwealth Games...they run their pub brilliantly never giving out needless thrashings but everyone knew there really was a line and if you crossed it and ignored the repeated warnings (think yellow car leading to red card) then they would often fall over on their way out the side door.
The pub got broken into one night. The float was nicked and they bust open the fruit machine which at the time was full of 10p pieces. Owners discovered it in the morning and cleaned the place up and opened the doors. Now it may have been an unfortunate coincidence but a semi regular walked in 1st thing and proceeded to pay for his drinks using 10p pieces. 1st round, 2nd round and so on. He was a well-known petty thief and it was also observed that he had indeed been "skint" for the last few days. One of the owners asked him for a wee chat which resulted in the chap falling over quite hard when the answers given were not to the owner's satisfaction. Words like "you are actually trying to take the ----" "trying to rub our noses in it" "think we are effing stupid".
One thing is for sure. The pub never got broken into ever again...and the petty thief had wire in his jaw for a short time afterwards. He was allowed back in after about a year...so no hard feelings and not a policeman in sight nor an insurance claim ever made.
I also witnessed a chippy in London manage to go from the 1st floor of the building we were working on right down to the road outside where a car had come up and the occupants were getting to work trying to open his van with views of removing items lol. The chippy was a proper nutter lol. He got down there in seconds. They ran back into their car and proceeded to try to get away...the guy took his claw hammer out and started to decorate the windows of the car. The car then shot off down the street but it was a dead end. it was like a bloody gunfight with mad chippy standing in the middle of the road and some pretty sorry-looking thieves spinning the car round to go head on. They drove straight at him but he eventually jumped out the way whilst managing to get one final shot off in the form of embedding his hammer in their windscreen. All quite entertaining but tbh it could have ended really badly for the chippy they would have run him over and killing him probably would have seemed an option for them.

Works for now but you may suffer in later life.
I find that my some of fingers seized up after using a screwdriver for a long time.
Hence why I love the Bosch 2go the newer one is a pain with the button on the top as you tend to hit it at the wrong time, but the mechanical clutch is better than the older one.
Just saying
He will bounce back, probably waiting for the insurance to pay out.
He doesn’t need a lot of tools anyway.
His mft he only seems to use for zs
A hammer and screwdriver which doubles up as a chisel is essential
I do the very same... anything bigger gets delivered. Many clients dont want trade vans outside .vans get robbed too easily . There was a Guy called Martin some years ago who cycled around mayfair ,chelsea etc doing domestic electrics and Plumbing .He was GOOD. Not exactly sure if up to date with qualifications then. But again, he was perfect in all he ever did . That guy made a FORTUNE > He only needed basic tools he could carry on his bike. No vehicle to run etc etc. He lived the dream !

If your day mainly consisted of EICRs and Small domestic fault finding Jobs / small installs then you could easily do it from a bike. Decent tool rucksack big enough for handtools , an 18v drill and MFT.

Best purchase i've ever made. It's a bag but stuff inside is neat instead of being slung in
Great.... Cycle to work, and while you're busy fixings Mrs Smith's lights, some toe rag has pinched your bike...... along with the lock!
Would you carry the propack, or tow it behind a bike on wheels??

Tow it behind would be my choice if I was still working, but may be a bit of a stretch now I live fifty odd miles from London, feasible when I lived in Blackheath, but then do I fancy an eight hour day and then a cycle home, I think I have just talked myself out of that. 
Missing the obvious here; rig it to a lamp post with some T&E, a belt might make them think twice
I can see it now; a bike tied up with T&E, some cocky sod thinks it'll be easy pickings and instead gets a belt

You two best get yer tissues out.
I was thinking of the one.
Is there any particular reason to watch it? Or any particular section?
He done well pulling them singles through back to the board.
Flexi conduit to new socket position very good in the circumstances. I hate conduit alterations, with the new conlok couplers could of carried on in steel conduit to new socket.

I'd agree with steel extension if the conduit was used as earth, but flexicon extension is still a step up from sheathed cable buried directly in that singles could be pulled again if necessary. Just watched further and don't like the flexicon taped to galv - wouldn't have been to difficult to screw a coupler in there, although he did mention there was a problem when he tried to do so.
