Hi I study electrical engineering level 3, I found your videos educational and helpful thanks for that 😊.
PERFECT, CHEERS DAVE !
Good to know thanks
Nice keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing your video 😊❤
Good vid, Dave.
Excellent tutorial sir❤❤❤
Hi, can you post a video on how to connect outlet and pull power from the light switch
I have these in my bedroom but my charger cord goes on and off and doesn’t charge unless I leave it in a certain position it’s so frustrating!!!
I’ve tried with another cord and same thing so I’m buying an actual APPLE iPhone cord just to see if that works..
Any ideas???
Hi Dave, Will you be doing a video for separate mech USB installation?
Churs!
Hi Dave I accidentally brought a slimline set, do they have their own box as they look to need to be recessed ?
left hand screwdriver? need one of those in my tool bag
thanks mate
On ya Dave
Will you be doing a video for separate mech USB installation?
Is there anyway to add a usb port from a light switch? I basically want to replace the light switch with a tablet to control smart lights instead.
G'day I got dimmer switch need to cancel the dimmer switch and keep lights with out dimmer what should I do pls
Thanks for this. Can you perhaps put something up a video on the CLIPSAL / PDL ICONIC range of plugs and sockets? About to try and add a 4 way socket to replace a 2 way wall socket and the system looks quite different to the sockets you have shown. This is a popular range I understand. I also got some bluetooth dimmers...
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Benedict Samir Instablaster :)
@Milo Royce I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Milo Royce it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Benedict Samir no problem =)
Hey Dave, thanks for the video! I have a heated towel rail I want to remove, it's hardwired into the wall. I went to Bunnings to buy a faceplate for the socket as I no longer want it to be used. Is there a certain way I need to store the red black green cables? ( I will make sure the power is off) Thanks.
I'd chuck them all in seperate BP connectors, throw them in a J box and blankplate the socket
Left hand screwdriver, classic!
Don't worry mate, we've all had experience with bad painters, chippies too and some sparky's that don't leave enough length on the wires bc they cut them to short in the flush boxes!
Going through this right now. Either that or that wires been cut so many times.... yikes!
A classic of this guy swearing as usually
Sounds like it's bucketing down!
Left hand screwdriver 😅I need to buy .
Most painters ... LOL!
Liang Wang start how you’re going to finish I reckon.
Just looked up what it would cost to get a sparky in to replace a wall plug. Bloody insane.
What was it?
@@411toastertwice as much as half of it.
do you need a license to do it?
Yes
@@theman3645 no you dont. Home owners can replace sockets and change downlights.
@@drbass9677 In Australia you cant. You need a licence.
Avoid USB sockets , you can not switch these off , after some years the capacitors fail = ether burn or trigger the breaker ...
Wow, these fuses look like from WW2 ...
coming from the trade that leaves finger marks on finished paint and holes cause you couldn't use a diagram properly
Hah ,most painters are arseholes lolol....What about the fakin sparkies cutting out to large a hole, wrong hole, dirty marks ceilings walls,off cuts on floors, downlights cut out wrong area, need i go on. Now i feel better lol.
So if it’s that easy why do you fellas charge so much?
insurance, public liability, sick pay, holiday pay, public holiday pay, van , tools, office, fuel, stationary, uniform, phone, rego etc etc.
All added into the cost.
@@Dazbrook73 you forgot the left handed screwdriver 🤣🤣🤣
This video only shows one very simple *part* of their job, they charge a lot because they have to be capable of much more, like any educated tradesman. Screwdrivers are cheap but some of their other tools cost thousands - is your local handyman going to be able to verify your earth impedance setup? What about a three phase industrial supply?
I'm not a sparky but this is one of those areas where the more you learn, the more you realise how much you didn't know. It's very easy to understand 'just enough to be dangerous'. The good ones certainly earn their money.
Call out fee, labour time, money for the product
@@chocolate_squiggle They will always justify their costs. Often they cut corners, don't follow the safety rules policies and procedures. They're in it for the coin and often rush a job to get to the next.
Really? You can't go a sentence without swearing?
But painters are fucken assholes
