I've a Bosch 18v impact so that comes out for woodwork Never had any brush trouble but don't get massive use. Battery runs longer with brushless im not sure how much

Agree about the caravan although I'm not familiar It can in theory be connected to an unknown supply so should have its own 30ma protection Then it most likely gets hooked up to a 30ma protected supply so 2 in series

"we were lucky enough to have one of your men here " :LOL:

They're not in any way a replacement for an MCB The overcurent shut-off feature they mention would probably have some specific uses As for their claimed 63A rating :giggle: on a gadget marked AliExpress:love:

The innovation on the Ukraine side is incredible

They’d have some specific uses for sure Controlling specific circuits subject to their rating which cant be relied upon . If they say 16A you still wouldn’t be switching an immersion direct with them Definitely not a road you want to go down having a multifunction gadget per circuit Domestic...

Yes I often drilled a hole to start the rod 16mm sds i think That method seems mad with all due repect :love:

This was a large campus 35 yrs sgo I believe thats my memory that students would ask at the desk for power to be restored I have the 5A figure in my head also whether I seen a board or was told

P I'm just after realizing now that the monitors measure usage the same as the dedicated meters . Probably cos I'm not familiar with them :giggle: How accurate would the clamp and inline type monitor be compared to the dedicated meter above Presumably not much difference

Yes they appear to be another daft gadget imo for the reasons i outlined below Except for the modular load monitoring which is a better practice than the clamping of wires in board etc

When I was in student campus accommodation in US im sure i recall they had circa 5A breakers on the rooms So that would be 550w+ Could be wrong but I seem to remember remarking on it

Had same issue with my previous Bosch combi Opened it up and blasted the crap out of the switch with contact cleaner Hey ho got it going again for about 18 months Replacement is brushless and metal chuck only about 60 on amazon

On the matter of lights turning off before you reach … Surely thats a simple matter of setting more than adequate on-time ?

Well you know ok what I mean . He’s gone
