There is a difference between 'law' and 'regulation' The IET wiring regulations' are just that.. regulations....cable fixing distances are are not law, even the distances between fixings are worded as 'recommended.
Thanks mate I think looking at our set ups that we have very simular tastes, though I've never even held a veto pro pac and I've only seen one in the flesh and I have a little more klein, but all in all with the knipex and wera we are very simular I think
Yeah, apart from the multi-meter, we pretty much use the same tools over on the electrical side. Instead of your Martindale voltage tester, I use a combi-tester like the Fluke T110, that does continuity and volts, can pretty much do all my fault finding and testing for dead with that. A multi-meter is good for working on inverters, but I would probably go for an insulation tester first. I would say I probably use spanners / socket set more than you do, they get the same use as my screwdriver set. Loads of great info - thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your videos, I'm cleaning out my Fluke 289 battery compartment as your video plays, because I haven't needed to data log in a few months and the batteries leaked. I highly recommend using Energizer lithium, I've learned my lesson. I live in one of the safest states in the U.S., probably because most everyone I know including myself lawfully carries a gun. The knife part made me think about that, I hear you guys are pretty handy with fire extinguishers, wooden lecterns and narwhal tusks though.
Great mix and I work with most of them. A smal set I carry always in my tough build pouch and the tool cheque plus in my trouser. I prever the cable stripper from Knipex - the angled one. and for elektricians I miss sothing like the Testo 750-2 and the Knipex 975314.
Merci de me rappeler que c'est important l'isolation des pinces je voulais acheter la pinces de monteur de chez knippex mais je vais en prendre une avec une isolation 1000 V
Current, UK single phase mains voltage in the UK is 230VAC and has been since around 2003, not 240VAC...but one can read off load a variance . Qualified electricians of course be aware of this. 😉 But when speaking about mains single phase installations, 230 VAC is how it is referred to.
Ah yes I get on OK as long as I have a Phillips and posi zero. I've heard a lot of USA people say you'll need these prescisions for security but I've never really had a use for them, well maybe on cctv but If it's a tiny screw they tend to give you a little Allan key or screwdriver, use once and throw away
May be different in America but there is good money in fire in th UK. Its probably because there are a lot of ways you can end up in hot water. I don't know if you heard of grendfil towers over there but it was a terrible tragedy were so many died in a fire in a block of flats. Since then the fire regs over here are very very strict, a lot to know. But as I say that's only from a being employed point of view. I have no idea what self employed wages are like
@@danstoolroom7700 there's also a lot of hot water you can get into if the fire department determines that the fire was caused by the electrician or if you don't ground something correctly near pool and someone dies there's a lot of liability in a electricity and that is why it's one of the most well paying trades per experience
That's fine but what I'm saying to you is if you look at what the average employed electrician salary is, In the UK fire engineers make the same and in some cases more. I wasn't saying it to be be boastful it was to show people its a good trade and encourage people to get into it. Didn't mean it to be a competition. Your comment was a little disparaging to us poor lowly fire and security engineers now wasn't it Mr sparky Eagle lol
@@bloodsongthesparkywolf3717 so to be completely accurate I just looked at the average fire and security engineer salary in the UK compared to the average electricians salary and for 2020 we earn about a grand less. However my company pays 4k more than the average plus commision so I must just work for a good company, so to say we earn "about" the same as the average electrician wage and in "some cases" more than the "average" electrician wage was correct I'd say. I'm not saying we earn more than all electricians just in some cases more than the average uk electrians wage. That fair enough?
I think the xr line just means brushless you can definate ly get them with metal chucks and gear boxes, a colleague of mine had a way better one as the normal company issue ones were out of stock. My makita is much better though and that one isn't even brushless
@@danstoolroom7700 they do have a model with a metal chuck it's still worse then the Milwaukee and the the Kobalt XTR for that matter and on top of that Stanly black and Decker is a Shaming lieing company that ruins brands and shams there costomers, and lies about where there made.
How come you don’t mention Bosch tools they make some of the best cordless tools in the world and have invented some of the most used tools in the world like the jigsaw and SDS drill just to name a few plus Bosch is made by Bosch and Dewalt is made by Black and Decker
A great man said once when buying tools: "Feel the pain once when you buy it, or feel the pain every time you use it" AvE
I think that was me wasnt it lol just kidding but i do agree wuth that

That is a gorgeous bunch of tools for a thumbnail image 😁🔥 I love it

A great collection!
Thankyou mate
Thanks for making the video
the info was great to hear and see.
Thanks for the kind commebts

Yeah I'd love a t110 but as I said it's company issue and the Martindale costs a lot less I imagine lol

Oi mate, you got a permit for that knife?
Good one, real original
Your safe isolation practicesfailed to damage your pliers like that, what live working training did you attend ? 😁Oh I do miss this channel.
Is fire a different trade in your land?

Not too fluent in french im afraid but ill take it as a compliment lol
We are Toolbrothers! ❤
Glad to hear it bud you have some nice tools

Nice video on point..here in the states you'll also need a nice set of precision screwdrivers
Ah yes I get on OK as long as I have a Phillips and posi zero.

Oh I do miss these reviews... so, you get your multimeters PAT tested then....? personally , I would get them calibrated 😉
Good video thanks
Thanks mate appreciate it
Let's say your pliers are stripper the candy used as such but they make an actual tool that has special blades that strip wire
Kuh-Nip-ex
I changed like 46 Emergency lights in tradeschool
That looks a heavy bastard. Great video.
Noylt too bad on the back but it is a bit of a lump to be fair
What bag is this all in
So i use a range of veto pro pacs. I use an mb3 as a simple service bag and a tech xl as my main tool bag. I have a drlc for my drills
What I do is I take one drill bit case and put what I need into that one case from the different cases
Yeah that's what I do that's why there are a lot missing, makes more sense than lugging heavy drill bits around
your intro is very wholesome and welcoming.
...we have the same -stanley- tape measure! All the other tools have not been within my budget ...yet.
Thankyou very much sir. Wholesome is good, fear GOD and keep His commandments good things to live ones life by
Always try to get mine on offer mate I very rarely pay full price
If you're cutting conduit you should get a 32 tooth blade as opposed to a 24 tooth blade on your saw
Conduit here in finland is aluminium, 24 tooth is better for that
@@Thompson-from-Finland we use steel
I'd love to see a fire and security engineer make more then me lmao

That Dewalt is their XR line, it's a professional-grade drill, Dewalt just sucks.
I think the xr line just means brushless you can definate ly get them with metal chucks and gear boxes, a colleague of mine had a way better one as the normal company issue ones were out of stock. My makita is much better though and that one isn't even brushless
@@danstoolroom7700 no XR doesn't mean brushless I have quite a few brushed XRs at the shop, it's there Professional grade line of tools.

You will not need combination pliers you need Linesman's pliers, don't get it twisted
