Stop knocking toolstation and screwfix. They are really handy for most small bits and pieces.
I agree. Open longer & at weekends. Stock some stuff that wholesalers don't - but don't stock other stuff that wholesalers do. Order online to reserve stock for pickup.
Don't get me wrong, I use wholesalers for most stuff, but SF & TS are useful to have around.
Earlier in the year I needed some specialist screws - self drilling and galved for decking. By far the easiest and cheapest place to get them was TS. I also didn't need to over-buy as I knew that worst case would mean day or two for local (to job) TS to get them in (actually had them in stock). That was also long way from home so didn't know who the local wholesalers were.
 
Let's be serious. There are perfectly good wall cavities there, why would you use any conduit at all? Conduit doesn't only look terrible, it is going to derate the cable.
Be professional and put the cables where they belong.... out of sight.

Well installed conduit doesn't look terrible, and the effect on cable rating is normally minimal, less than the effect of being in contact with insulation in the wall.

In a workshop having surface conduit means there are no hidden cables to be damaged when anything I fixed to the walls and it makes alteration nice an easy
 
Maybe two nuts on threaded end of earth rod, nut driver in impact driver?

Dusk to dawn sensor...maybe some round black cable to fit the gland properly and prevent UV degradation?

Lighting...so much cable and plastic conduit...maybe quinetic switches to save cabling to switch drops?
Can't beat a 20lb sledge for the occasional rod installer... Baffles me how many YouTube people you see putting them in with a little claw hammer
