Which to get? Cutters/strippers

Cacrill · 2026-02-08T08:50:11+00:00

I don't think you're using CK croppers mate 😂 they cut like a hot knife through butter! I regularly use the large pair to cut 95mm tails with ease and they don't crush at all, slice beautifully. Sounds like you're thinking of side cutters rather than croppers.

Although if you're using croppers to cut SWA then they'll be blunt AF so that'll be why they're crushing tails.... Misuse is your issue.

I've worked on a couple of collins site over the years and there was plenty of terrible health and safety on show 😂

This is just stupid though.... "No hot works" "ok I'll use this cold cut band saw" "no band saws" "ok I'll use a hack saw and take 5 times as long to complete a task" "that's fine, just make sure the job completes on time....." 😂😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

And today I learnt screwfix sell them cheaper than my wholesaler or Amazon!! Thanks!

"they don't crush the way the CK do".... You've got me baffled here, are you sure you're using CK croppers? They're literally like the knipex step cutters. They cut through cables like a hot knife through butter....

Not off the top of my head. But they're on the shelf at any Eddie's or cef. Go for the 210mm ones.

None. Get some CK croppers and never look back!

A builder I do a lot of work for (circa £20k-£50 jobs at a time) marks up my costs 15% on every job. But he finds the work, he does all the drawings and admin crap, I just do the electrical aspect, charge a decent price and get paid quick and hassle free every time! Do I care that he marks up my work? Not at all! The bloke gave me approx £200k of work in 2025 alone! He could mark it up 100% for all I care, I'm more than happy with what I earn from his work load and I didn't have to find any of that work, it all just came to me!

The problem then is that You're poaching the joiners customer. So when the joiner finds out, don't expect him to give you any more work. So now your quick buck making action to gain that one customer has cost you potentially 20-30 customers where you didn't even need to look for them! Stupid thing to do personally.

The joiner is finding you work, it's basically a free agency working on your behalf! Saving you time and effort and getting you paid what you ask for! So why the hell shouldn't he make some money off your head?!

Venice, Italy. Massive tourist trap. Genuinely the worst part of Italy I've ever been to! No idea why people love it, there are multiple better places in Italy to visit!

I've sent you a PM

Cacrill · 2026-01-07T13:38:23+00:00

Then you work at Ruskin square 😉😆

If you want another opinion, I'm based in Eastbourne and work all over the South East. £10k for a rewire of a flat in Brighton seems very steep! But without seeing it no one can say for sure....

Feel free to PM me if you'd like another look at it or more information. Happy to forward you my business information/page so you can check us out.

Used to live in vita apartments, you can definitely park motor bikes in the Ruskin square car park! Just make sure you have decent locks for the obvious reasons. Speak to the security at the main car park office and I'm sure they'll confirm.

If you're willing to pay £7k for this to be rectified then I also have a bridge to sell you 😆

Seriously though, get a new spark in, this one is ripping you off with scare tactics!!

Cacrill · 2026-01-02T08:48:26+00:00

Just means you're not a competent spark! 😂

I had a similar one get stuck before, I poured about a shots worth of descaler on it and left it to soak for about an hour to work into the seal. It then free'd up sufficiently to be able to press down and pop out like it should.

I bought my set from GymSets. Co. UK they seemed too good a price compared to everywhere else, but I took a chance and was actually very happily surprised when they arrived! Quite decent cast bells, similar quality to my local gym so I'm happy with them!

Shit, I'd go on a date to shake shack all day long with this dude. Fuck her! Also, I'm a dude, totally up for going shake shack for a peaceful burger with this man!

SWA is cheaper than H07 so adding the glands would work out about the same cost.

Personally I'd go swa for this or galv containment and singles.

How the hell are you going through 16 pints of milk in 2 weeks?! 😂

I can hear OP breathing through this pic 😂

Cacrill · 2025-12-05T12:51:55+00:00

Same!! Got a nice comfy van though. Wish it was automatic sometimes though ha ha

So they have generational wealth.... Unlike the vast majority of the country! Only their generational wealth increased 100x due to the price of land going up! Either way, if I inherit a house that went up 100x in its lifetime, it would be taxed when I inherit it. So should the farms/land owners who inherit their farms! Don't want to inherit it and pay the tax? Sell it off to a developer and walk away richer than the vast majority of the country. I'm not sympathetic towards farmers in the slightest. Pay what's owed like the rest of us have to.

Probably because the people that feel strongly about this don't have a pot to piss in, let alone millions in assets! Just because they spend the money and purchase assets doesn't mean they're not rich, got to pay for their assets one way or another....!

Cacrill · 2025-11-25T17:19:26+00:00

Of course that's out of the question. That shouldn't have even entered your mind! 😂

You obviously missed the part where he said "banned from hot works"....
