The same as , wrap the first bit around on its back and then you don't get the glue in the cut/missing finger stump !

I think us electricians must have this "natural basic instinct" when bleeding, to reach for the tape and double it back before wrapping lol

Ah but .......... you can use the insulation tape for holding the two halves of your Stanley together when you've lost the screw.

True, although where I'm working ATM I'd just get a new one out of the stores.

do it right then. first wrap a bit of bog roll around the cut, then tape it on. (make sure the bog roll is fresh and unused though)

Yes. it soaks up the blood better than just tape, and I'm always afraid that when I peel the tape off it'll bring the scab off with it and the wound will open up again.

Podger (Anchor setting tool) and draw tape (fish/snake) as well as a good bright torch, and WD40 for threading conduit instead of Tallow, use to thread then use to clean after finished threading and filing......

I havent had a drift (setting tool) for ages, I usually use a 7mm drill bit. Agree with the non fish tale, the steel ones are crap. As for conduit, by far the best threading compound to use is Texamol. It is brilliant.

Might start selling bent coat hangers on Ebay, wrap a bit of tri rated cable on one end and stick a fancy label on, titled "iCable Recoverer"

£9.99

You would have to paint it blue as well, so it looks professional!

Actually the plastic coated ones are a bit upmarket. You could sell them as "insulated recovery system"

Best one ive seen in a while was a spanish spark with his hand up an E/L hole throwing a bungie (Spelling) cord you know the thing, elastic shock cord with hook on each end for a roof rack, around at random seeing what he could catch.

My most useful tool which is often first out of the van: LED Lenser H14 head torch. Great quality and fantastic performance.

You need to see what you are up against before you use anything else in the toolbox!
