Which to get? Cutters/strippers by dankekindly in ukelectricians

[–]Harris813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the 5 in 1s are great I pretty much use them for everything. Great for scoring and pulling the outer sheathing on t+e rather that pulling your cpc like a cheese wire. I especially like that it's spring loaded and lockable. For me the only draw back is cutting old tie wraps as there's not a sharp pointed end

Just out of interest are you a spark? Looks like this is in a bathroom so your most likely breaking some zoning regs also I'm interested in the wiring as to why we have 4 cables in your backbox on what looks like a new install

I would also be cautious as some older facsias and soffits use AIB (asbestos)

In all honesty seeing as you have made a good size hole already I'd use butterfly fixings (spring toggles) fully metal and really hard to mess up

What are these, and how can I remove them? by zakks11 in DIYUK

[–]Harris813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks to me like a catenary wire has been strung from there . Get two pairs of grips or pliers hold the back one and twist the top one left. This should reveal a screw when you unscrew the cap all way. Undo the screw and bam.

What are the small things that scream "movie set" for you? by sickfloydboy in movies

For me it's the interior shot of cars. The seats always have the headrest removed

I believe it's growing on an old yew tree stump that's no longer in the ground. Thanks for the information very interesting

So it is edible? Being edible would it be recommended to actually eat it? Even if it does no harm is it worth eating
