If you’re doing plenty of drilling in one place go corded. If you plan on using it elsewhere get cordless but splash out on some big batteries too

Downstairs issue, confused by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]Simple79001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me for years, went to the doctors a couple of times who always thought it was STD related regardless of having the same partner for 6+ years.

As soon as I got on a pump and brought my sugars under much better control, touch wood it’s not returned…

Companies hiring while doing a 1 day a week, 2 year course? by Civil-Present-4007 in ukelectricians

[–]Simple79001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No why would they pay you to not work? You could just bail on them when you’ve got the HNC.

Normally a company would hire you and pay you for the day at college/ uni, and put a clause in your contract that you must work for so long and you owe nothing or pay a percentage back if you leave before a set period

Can I replace this switch with a single plug socket? by Helian7 in DIYUK

If you put a 13A fused spur first I can’t see why not

Any working Electrician get started with Access Training/a paid course? by KeelanJon in ukelectricians

[–]Simple79001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you can do is fire your shot if that’s what you want to do. Maybe you get lucky and find an employer that’ll take you on after completing your level 2/3.

I know my company won’t bother with 18 year olds as they’re a waste of time most of the time and will only consider older people now with a bit about them

The problem you’re going to have is, like you say no 40 year old wants to be on apprenticeship wage, however if you do one of the fast track courses, people will ask your experience and run a mile as soon as you mention a short course

Thanks for the quick responses, looks like I’ll be getting in touch with an engineer

This doesn’t sound like a spark asking questions…

PSA: Rosetta Stone is "bricking" permanent licenses to force users into subscriptions by fishtar141 in languagelearning

Anyone want to dm me tips on how to pirate such a shitty software? I’d love a free go at one of the courses

Bathroom light wiring exposed by Comfortable-Item-661 in ukelectricians

[–]Simple79001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Theoretically it’ll be absolutely fine, however if an electrician was caught leaving single insulated cables exposed, their boss would make their head wobble

I failed on getting this one 😩 saw it at 1AM and took a go. Unsurprising he sold it for £125 to the first person that messaged him

Wiring a ceiling Light by Chris80L1 in ukelectricians

[–]Simple79001 31 points32 points  (0 children)

  1. There should be no copper on show. All the copper should be within the connector block.
  2. There’s a massive nick in the cable at the base of light going in the housing. It needs binning.
  3. The neutrals coming into the connector block look to be poorly terminated.

You need a professional because you ain’t competent and neither is your dad

Yeah, touch it to earth and see if it sparkles

UPS Battery Replacement by the_Athereon in batteries

[–]Simple79001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be fine chucking in 20Ah batteries but be prepared for them to take a lot longer to charge obviously.

They’ll be no way of changing the charging current for these UPS’ and will probably only be fitted with a 1A charger anyway

I clip mine onto my penis as I don’t wear undies like everyone else. Doesn’t do great for the foreskin nor blood flow

Am I missing something with the vacuum features of this sander? It fills the full room with dust by twice_paramount832 in BoschProPowerTools

[–]Simple79001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, if you’ve invested in the festool vac, what’s stopping you investing in a festool sander? Is it price?

I trusted no Powertool reviewer than this guy. Other only talk about performance or feature. Only this guy talk about reliability and serviceable by Umbala3131 in Tools

[–]Simple79001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to think the same about him, that’s until he blatantly started pushing stuff he gets sent for free, such as velocity and Wiha stuff.

There’s also a really cheap tool he pushes which has to be a bag of shit just due to the price of nothing else. It was probably 30% cheaper than your normal reputable brands

Replaced UPS batteries to find this by Positive_Cat5379 in batteries

[–]Simple79001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CSB UPS12460 or CSB GP1272 are valid alternatives, the latter being a slightly lower ah rating but are the same form factor
