    The tool behind the tools is the greatest tool of all. Seriously though knipex wera and facom all the way for me. Do you find you end up purchasing multiples of the same tools for different bags? When you spend on tools, you tend to look after them a little better. Everything has a place so you tend to realise if something has been misplaced gone walkies. What would you reccomend safety shoes boots wise?
    Great stuff place, keep doing what you do best and keep safe. 👍

      You'll be able to replace gas boilers. Where existing gas metered supplies are already in service. Service maintenance and breakdowns are still plentiful. Seriously don't worry gas is here for another 100 plus years. I doubt any of us will be about when gas runs low. Go for it.

      @@smoothoperator6117 Electrics aren't to difficult either. It just takes longer in practice. I spread mine practical and training over 2 years. I've been in the gas industry for around 13 years. You live and learn. If you're willing and able you can earn well in this industry. You get in what you put out. With electrics we have an inspector visit every year to push all the regs which we never knew existed at us. 😂👍
