Screwfix- saving energy at home

[opps]

I have only just noticed that Screwfix are tagging battery powered tools (sold with the battery, rather than bare bones) as "saving energy at home".

Are they suggesting that homeowners should charge their devices in properties owned by other people?

Assuming that they aren't recommending that people steal electricity, does a battery powered tool require fewer watts of electricity than a corded equivalent? A homeowner needs to charge the battery in the first place...

You make sure your customers pay to charge up your kit, then you use it at home for nothing!

Thanks.

So, reading page 20, they class any device with a brushless motor as being energy saving. Fair enough, my bad for being such a cynic.

Again, thanks for correcting me.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

It can only be pinched (from your punter, in this case )

Don't worry, you're amongst friends.

Had a customer who wanted to knock a pound a day of the bill 'cause we charged tool batteries when working in his premises.

Some customers are just complete k-nobs

Jesus wept.

Did they expect you to turn up with a generator?

Had you done so, doubtless, you would have charged them more for the petrol.

And a quid? Did they they charge you for the cups of tea?

I wonder if it will be like the family who wanted to deduct a fee because the cleaner filled her bottle from the filtered tap. ?

£170 for boiler service you say. No problem. Electricity is 40p per kw so shall we say £168.20

How much energy does it take to recharge a battery ? Not much

18v 5ah battery =90wh so 1/11th off a unit [11x90=990] allow say 10% for losses so 1/10th ish so 3p at 30p a unit

Yes, we decorated a place in West London and at the end of the week the landlord wanted money off for the tea we had used, after he told us where the tea was which sounded like an offer.
We bought him a large bag of tea and never worked in his house again.
Was satisfying when he called me because he'd been scammed by driveway cowboys and I said I was too busy.

We had a customer write into the gasboard asking for reimbursement for the electricity used by the hoover during boiler service
