    Ring Final question - not DIY

    Oh my goodness, This particular boss just phoned: "Sunray, Can you rember this job?" from 5 years ago He explained the requirement is to change the majority of the sockets to 110V.

    Well for a start this site: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Charts/VoltageDrop.html comes up with ths calculation for 4.5KW and 30m: Personaly I'd stick with the 4mm² as it'll cost a lot more to upgrade in the future when a larger cooking device is wanted. Personally I would have a...

    Extension cables and BS1363

    The last time I read BS1363 was around 50 years ago while investigating the 'exception' of the used of non fused BS1363 plugs in specified environments. I'd remembered the specified dimension being related to the earth pin to prevent a plug being inserted as you have shown, rather the the L&N...

    What To Do With These?

    This time 2 years back I'd have jumped very quickly on the 100W's & yellows for an AmDram group but sadly it folded and all their homemade light fittings scrapped :cry:

    Drills needed please help

    early 90's was really only the Makita, the 7.2V where the battery pack slid inside the chunky handle IIRC it was the very first cordless power tool made - C mid/late 70's and I think they effectively stopped others for a while by patent) I only knew of B&D bringing one out at half the price...

    Drills needed please help

    I should hope so and personally I'd say they should all be calibrated, all of mine were up until ~2018 when I basically stopped working (Ha Ha whatever that means)

    Drills needed please help

    Agreed. Off the top of my head I think I recall 11 previous battery drills of which the B&Q was rubbish (sloppy bearings and plastic gears stripping) and the Homebase which I ran on a Gelcel (switch failed) all the rest simply required batteries and are probably all still lurking in working...

    Drills needed please help

    Of all the drills I've owned over the years I have no problem saying my corded Bosches (I have 3) have been by far the best, they are now 30 years old and I got the first and third in a Homebase end of line sale and the second in their summer sale. The pair of 18V cordles Bosches also from their...
