Buzzing for this one Del
Never seen a spark cut a 3.5mm screw with a jr hacksaw.... either snips with the 3.5mm shears built in, or just cut it first then a second cut 90° to the first to take off the burs. Did it on last nights shift with 4mm screws which were too long for stop end and had no short ones.
Great work and the Apprentice is doing very well also
Good work del roy
Love your videos , really interesting . keep up the good work.
Glad your back del it’s been to long
My side cutters have a facility to cut 3.5mm screws, i also carry lots of various lengths of 3.5mm screws, never a hacksaw.
Main bag just has long screws for the odd electrical point here or there. I just cut them down with the C.K 3in1's. I carry a large selection in the van for anything else.
Quality video …😃
I use a dremel to cut long plate screws you can use pliers but it can damage the first thread in this case just file it off or you run the risk of cross threading the screw.
D, you've got CK tools. Why not purchase the 3 in 1 cutter: 2.5 & 1.5 stripper/3.5 & 4mm terminal screw bolt cutter/cutters/bending anvil. Save all that faffing with a hacksaw. And have that file to hand.
Or just cut it with the combi pliers he was using to hold it the terminal screws. Literally do that every day and never have an issue
Or just have a selection of socket screws lol 🙈
Don't know wheatear to laugh or cry😂😢
I had that problem with the screw termination before as well
What the fudge is going on with that socket with like 5 cables into it ? That is setting yourself up for disaster
That would be the case if he did the first fix. If not, then welcome to the worlds of the domestic electrician, where we have to follow DIY/shit work.
At the start of the video that’s exactly what was said “Going back to a job”
I’ve never heard someone in such a dangerous line of work constantly say “I don’t remember” 😖😖😖😖😖 shit makes meeee nervous
3:28 If your cutting screws with a hack saw just put the screw in the drill and spin it up while cutting it.
let the drill do the work
Regarding that light switch. Sounds like it’s a 3 gang. The 1, 2 and 3 corresponding to gangs. 1 and 2 are lives- L1/L2. The remainder are the commons.
Should’ve put the double socket level with the bottom of the cooker outlet and the bottom of the fcu(s) level with the top of the cooker outlet. Look like they’ve been thrown on the wall. ROUGH. Stick your fuse connection units or SPURS in the cupboard !!!!
You should put that screw in your drill and hold the hack saw on the screw while you use your drill slowly. Think smart don’t don’t work hard
It's coping saws that cut on the back stroke. That's because the frame is deep and it keeps the blade tighter.
All saws that have disposable blades fitted should have the teeth going back so they cut on the back stoke. Then you can push and make a groove without them snagging and pull back in the channel you've made.
Sweeling your cpc’s will really annoy a lot of people on here
Cut the socket screws with pliers, it works and I didn’t see you fit the grommets to the steel back plates
Deal with the matter, deal with it proppa
Is that fcu upside down 17.50 🤔
Yep well spotted. The red led lense can be seen at the bottom.
@@albertharmon2738 I was only watching on my phone but could see the switch and fuse carrier are opposite to the other 2 spurs 😂
At 17:00 surely it's not good practice to mount two single sockets literally side by side? What's all that about?
Don't bother connecting a cpc from a metal backbox to a metal faceplate. Forget about ring main continuity and join three 2.5s together with wagos, effectively creating a non-switched spur. Twist solid cpcs together. Not grasp simple identity of light switch inputs. (L32 etc) ...Use a hacksaw to cut 3.5mm socket screws...... REALLY?
It's clear most of your viewers know nothing of the Electrical Industry, its regulations or appreciate the level of workmanship required. Their comments are proof of their ignorance..."buzzing".."it's been to (too) long"..."Qualty video".."Good work"
You work to 1990 standards, despite being a current NICEIC member, so you shouldn't be instructing "mature" apprentices to adopt bad practice and most definitely should not be posting on social media. I wonder if the NICEIC watch or are even interested in such videos.
The NICEIC state their purpose is to "champion technical and professional integrity" and "to raise standards". Of course, they are a commercial enterprise whose main revenue stream is the annual fee charged to its members. Thus, any close scrutiny of its members activities, might conflict with their business model. So, no real threat from the NICEIC.
Basically, you’re free to say or do anything you like as stated in the ECHR providing it doesn’t incite riot etc. Therefore, all of the above is irrelevant, however, you do work in London, consequently arrogance and delusions of grandeur are par for the course.

Was wondering about the CPC from the back box to the metal face plate myself he actually took it out when he started wiring the socket, don't know whether it is or not but the socket and cooker switch looks like it's directly above the oven
Hi Paul, respect to you for putting your name to the text.
Firstly, I would like to say that I would not have necessarily executed the job in the same way. However, I can appreciate the difficulty with having to follow - not only someone else’s work - but a Builder, to boot.
Those jobs aren’t glamorous. Get at the same is the nitty-gritty type of work that no one would post.
I do wonder, though, who did the first fix?
Re. second fixing of the light switch plate, I did hear him mention the switch line as being identified.
Re. ring final continuity- I saw it as remaining intact: He brought all the conductors into Wago connectors in order to terminate with less conductors.
Re. CPCs- kept them separate. I saw him cut two sleeves.
