Hi. Mate I just completed my level 3 early 40s lol not currently working in the trade. I probably just work for a 1 man band to get experience in domestic work. Then go solo. That's a decent set you posted. I was just wondering if there's a cheaper maybe a different decent brand too.

That does look like a good set. Price is steep. I guess I'll have to take hit at some point .

I'm torn fellas as to what to buy. If someone can post me a link to a reasonable priced set I'd be absolutely grateful. And yeah I will need a multitool at some point. But I'll get the drills first and then in a few months when I got some spare cash I'll get a multi tool iA

Just passed my L3 trying to get some tools under my belt. https://amzn.eu/d/56qdQDP Would these drills be decent enough for most of the electricalwork i do. Whi h will be mainly domestic ? Or a waste of time.. the price looks decent for the set

If I twist the strands and then double it. It is possible.

Hey guys Should you double up a stranded cable inside a plug when terminating then ? Using a 1.5mm heavy duty orange rubber flexible cable. And a heavy duty masterplug. Thanks

Hey guys Thanks so much for your suggestions! I can't believe I didn't even think about DIY shops. I automatically was thinking of the larger stores like BnQ , screwfix etc. I just called local DIY store. He sell 2.5mm twin and earth for 1 pound per meter! I might as well get some extra 5 m...

I need a twin and earth around about 2 meters in length. I don't need buy a full drum of it. Where is the best place to get that from? I know wilkos used to do that but they've closed down.

Thanks I just checked the pvc conduit on google it states that it's weatherproof and the black ones usually are also UV proof. I've never done any work with SWA . Not sure if I will be able to cut it properly and get it in the sockets properly etc

Hey guys I'm going to spur a socket from upstairs socket to external wall dropping down to ground level for an external socket. So I'll need a conduit to protect a twin n earth cable. It might be about 2 meters drop. So what else do I need. From the top where the external hole to the external...

Oh really. It's amazing to learn how many options are available ! This seems the easiest option now lol. So would I just attach the the cable directly to the live MCB and ofourse CPC and neutral busbar. Whilst dead . Then clip the cable on the wall. Make a hole on the wall under stair case...

Yes that granny charger is has a max of 10A output.

I do have access to under the stairs from the living room. We use it as a storage and the CU is there too.

Oh I dunno why I missed this post!. That's a great strategy. I have access under the stair case. It's where the CU is as well.

If all options are available. What option is best , or easiest lol?

This sounds like the best idea tbh. Would I. Need a conduit ?

That wall is a masonary wall.

Would I just drill out behind the socket from upstairs? Out to the external wall or between the internal and external wall I dropped the cable ?

Great point. But do the regs allow either way?

No it's actually a granny lead for emergencies
