Hi Have narrowed my search down to either of these Aeg OBSB144G available from Amazon or Site SMB800 14.4V Cordless Combi Drill On paper the AEG looks better, but again no reviews for this. Does anyone have any additional comments / things i should look for. Thanks

Hi I am semi-avid DIY'er and use my tools semi-regularly. At a minimum I would say I need my tools 2 full days each month (or 1 weekend a month I am working on something) My trusty old 18v cordless B&D drill is near its end of life and i am looking to replace, the B&D has always been abit...

Hi Can somebody offer me 'cosmetic' advice for the following circumstance. I have a radiator positioned mid point on my wall with a drop feeding it, please see (A) in the image. The pipes are very ugly and am looking for ideas to tidy things up somewhat. The floors are solid -...

lol - kind of .. Funnily enough i did intentionally write Dept Of Defence but i unintentionally wrote the abbr DoD. I only realised i had used this abbr after BaS'heds told me i was wrong twice and I re-read my posting. Back to my original point however - was that specs & guidelines...

I apologise for my use of terminology - i just typed the original posting of the top of my head and posted it without proof reading and was thinking in american, when i say "we referred to it internally as"; i am not saying that is what teams used internally across the gov, i was referring to...

Not to get to far off topic.. but internally we referred to it as the dept of defence and as some one who did work there I would know what we called it internally :) PS.. This is irrelevant...can we stick to the original thread.

Nope .. i was definitely in the UK :lol: you must be getting confused because i type with an ^accent

As the original poster i must chirp in here.. Having worked for the dept of defence for a large part of my career. I can honestly say that for all my moaning and grumbling about the way the DoD does things - the one thing they do extremely well is in writing guidelines and...

Hi, Sorry to be a pain but could i have some proffessional advice. I am replacing my existing ceiling light with 2 downlights and in the process intended on just converting my ceiling rose to a junction box and hanging the lights of the JB. I then intended on attatching the JB to the...

ElectronicsUk i appreciate your viewpoint. Unfortunately I do not have the relevant experience or knowledge on matters of UK-Electrics to really have a strong opinion. If the tradesmen on here, who after all do this job on a day to day basis and know what works in the field and what...

No offence taken .. i appreciate all advice/critisism. I believe that if some one has take the time to reply and give time for free then who am i to complain even if its not the advice i wanted to hear :) I take on board your comments and that of "LoveRocket" and the general tone of the...

What started my questioning was the TLS website http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Boxes_and_Enclosures_Index/Wago/index.html Under "Wago 224 Series Lighting Connectors" - "notes" - "point 3" it states "Replace crimp and twist connections" If they are 'no-no' then so be it - i am not...

PS.. Holmslaw.. Your advice is appreciated .... on this matter! I have read many of your posts and do respect your opinion.

Whooooaaa easy tiger.... With all due respect, there was no question of me trying to circumvent regs. I was led to believe the regs stated screwed JBs had to be accessible, the reason being that the screws came loose!! So i asked if using screwless connectors such as WAGO are allowed...

Agreed... I just wanted to use the existing JB's as i am mainly extending cable. My plan was to unscrew the box and replace existing switch wire with a longer one :o aHHHH...rules and regs... where would i be without them :( Time for a rethink!!!
