    What has become of Great Mills, looking fr matching bookcase

    Great Mill has closed down has it? I bought a cheap flatpack chipboard cherry effect bookcase at a branch over 10 years ago. It's for back office use. Now I need another one. Fortunately, because I'm a bit of a hoarder (and want to move out this dump) I still have the packing Harvard...

    Gettings shocks from everything!

    If it is just one room have you considered that the floor may be live and hence you are live. When you are touching an earthed applicance you are providing a circuit to earth, your feet are the entry path of the current and fingers are the egress path to earth. It's a common fault in bathrooms...

    Commercial boiler instumentation cable termination?

    Hahaha, thought of that, however can't get crimps off them (went through 2 bags of my own ferrule crimps), let alone Critchleys (and they've asked me to mod the panel twice) so I'm guessing heatshrink is out of the question. They've even nicked my white insulating tape being used as substitute...

    Commercial boiler instumentation cable termination?

    It seems the engineer specified single pair but 2 pair was bought in error, though is specified in another part of the project. It's BS5308/1 BTW. If I ask the engineer, it may drop the company in it. We'll just chop rhem off at the transducer end and connect the collective drain and used pair...

    Bahco and Irazola 1kV tools all in one place please?

    I wasn't. They are exceptionally good quality in my experience, and your screwdriving expericnces are neither here nor there for me. Ultimately the tools are for me, I have found Irazola screwdrivers to be of very high quality and not prone to snapping. Oh and your post didn't attempt to answer...

    Commercial boiler instumentation cable termination?

    I've wired in several temperature transducers into a commercial heating system. They integrate into the heating system by way of the BMS. The engineer has specified 4 core screeend twisted pair for all the temperature instuments. There is only one pair being used. I've no data on the...

    Bahco and Irazola 1kV tools all in one place please?

    Thanks, I've fird an e-mail off to Bahco, there are several places locally that sell Bahco and one or two who sell Irazola but not places that sell both. However the places that sell Bahco don't sell the 1kV range from stock. They are hesitant to order in as there is a minimum quantity. If they...
