No. Whilst I don't agree with everything he says and does he's generally pretty good and enjoyable to watch.

I could be wrong, but...
In the one about garden lighting, the flower bed lights are pre-wired with a flex.
He slides a co-pex or flexible conduit over this.
At the Wiska box the co-pex is terminated with a co-pex adapter.
But at the flower bed end the copex is open-ended.
So all the moisture and crud at the flower-bed end will make it's way up to the Wiska box.
No wonder he is using that water-proof gel stuff.

I noticed that, i assume he mounts the wiska box higher so it drains out at the light end.
To be honest i have sleeved them in kopex at pubs, but i use a flex gland at the box and leave both kopex ends open
Why not use proper Kopex glands?
The lights sometimes have a sealed flex gland and not always 20mm thread , i suppose you could compose something to seal it still using a kopex gland, but its likely water will get in eventually and work its way back to the box. The flex is designed to really just lay surface i suppose, the black copex i fit is just for a bit of added protection from the gardeners and the water can drain out either end..
For bigger lights i would likely kopex gland both ends and usually drill a hole in the boxes bottom face to let any ingress out

To be honest he's probably doing it as advertising and enjoyment, not to expose his work for criticism!
If he gets some decent Jobs in an expensive area he can probably make some decent cash.

He also mentions hes trying out some new cutters soon, so I quess he gets a few freebies, he tends to plug Milwaukee and Wera tools and though they may be good and hes likely just being honest, im sure they possibly show there apreciation
Yea his Milwaukee stuff looks pretty beaten up so he’s probably had it long enough to have paid for it

yeah
Apparently they always do that on the makeup videos, the girls start off saying something useful then just after a few months they get the freebies and the whole channel is useless
I quess now google will bombard me and you with ads now we have named them.
Yes, and John D will get laods of free makeup!
This one's a good one
If he rectified this would he have to get the DNO to sort the cover on the incoming fuse cover?

Yes anything before the cu tails would have to be sorted by the supplier or dno. They may charge the householder if it was damage caused by their negligence.
