I sell hitachi grinders at my hardware store, at least the brushless ones sound like that straight out of the box. Might be that the gear doesn't engage until you spin it up.
Hi Thomas, I know I've mentioned it before, but why won't you listen to an old guy (76 now) please for the sake of your health, get some masks to work in the loft, if you don't you will suffer in a few years time. Please take notice before it is too late. Regards, Ray..
after seeing the Milwaukee soldering iron I soon whipped my debit card out and got one off ITS love your work and tool reviews wish the industry had more people like your self keep the videos coming love watching them.
Excellent camera and editing work, we have your head on a van to show your going somewhere without words, music in the fast fwd or loud times. A really good proper vid :)
Another great video. I’m sure after a fair days graft it takes a fair bit of effort to edit and put together these videos, appreciate it mate. Keep em coming, all the best.
i am happy that i am not an electrician in the UK, standards here in Holland are mutch higher. you will never see cabling smeared into the wal here.Ik can also see that when there are contractors from the UK come and do jobs here, they have really no clue what they are up against metal terminationboxes that can cut into the wires.
After watching shit loads of your vids, today I've realised that you are the actual real deal. Highly knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Dave. Tom's ok (ish).
Hi Thomas, were any of those 'people' electricians, I think I know the answer! if they are I'm glad they're not doing work for me (not that they would be I'm a sparky, retired, but maybe they might when I get too 'doddery' aaaaaah!) You will as you know always get at least 1, you do great work, thanks for the entertaining videos, great mix, keep up the good work in keeping the not so Great Britain now switched on, be lucky and stay healthy.
Mate you’ve got to get onto ITS to hook you up with a chaser & hoover setup for your rewires. It’s super neat with minimal dust. Can even adjust the width of the blades to suit your beloved capping 😉
This is the one I have, the accompanying hoover is also the tits. Self cleans the filters & has auto startup! Best of all it’s not a particularly expensive kit www.its.co.uk/pd/MFE-30-Metabo-Wall-Chaser-_METMFE30.htm
As a random aside, it's interesting to see the differences between norms and requirements in different countries. Here in Norway, to my knowledge, you are required to run cabling inside walls or between floors in tubing, no exceptions.
hey tom, love your vids im a sparky in Australia and i tell you it is wild to see the difference is standards and regulations. Here we have to have to have mechanical protection on our cabling that is exposed love the vids
Yeah Nah. I’ve worked around the globe and fully licenced in Aus. Your standards are not something I would shout about... Soldiering Earths together and using Plastic mechanical protection constitutes poor electrical standards
I'll stick with my butane portasol soldering iron, it does the heat shrink on the end of the LED strip afterwards with the little hot air vent on the tip.
Couple of questions Thomas. Can insulation be put straight over the cables afterwards. I want to cut, route the wires in the attic through the joists, join and board over the joists. Wondering if there was a reg about insulation covering the wires. Also which would the best connector to use for this application. I was going to use in-line choc blocks or wagos.
ENLITE make the E6 downlight with a plug in connection for first fix and insulation resistance testing with loop in loop out push fit connections made for 1.5mm2 cable.
The best part of Milwaukee tools is there are just 2 batteries to stock M12 and M15 (and they also have a charger here in the USA that can charge either, thus keeping the kits smaller)
32 people are looking at the soldering iron at ITS. Product placement seems to be working. Although you need to link directly to the product in the description so they can get their monies worth from the advertising. Also Milwaukee stuff comes with 3 years warranty, contact them you might get a free replacement if it's still within warranty.
Would be the way to go in most Western European countries. I don't think I've ever seen capping or oval conduit anywhere except in the UK. Of course then you've got the Germans, who'll happily tell you that pipe is so 1930s and you should just use cable straight in the plaster. I've even had Germans tell me that using pipe in walls is forbidden!
I had MK USB sockets and apparently they are only on when a lead is plugged in. They were fine at charging, but when I tried to use my iPad/ iPhone when charging, the screen became unresponsive. MK said it wasn’t their problem as it complied with USB standards. An earthing issue I think. I’d love to hear if these new ones allow phones to work properly while charging. Cheers, and keep up the high standards!
If you had a screwfix and a toolstation right next to each other, they both stocked the product at the same price, which would you go in? I tend to gravitate to Toolstation as you get seen and sorted by 1 person. I don’t like the “queue twice” screwfix method. Those back boxes had the Texas label, I used to work there.
Screwfix every time. Maybe this is just my local stores, but toolstation seems much less friendly and it smells funny in there. Screwfix on the other hand - well they know me by name at this point, have a chat when I pop in, if I've ordered something for pickup they'll grab it for me soon as I walk in the door, anything wrong with a product they'll sort it no trouble, love it.
I expect it's not just easier to rewire this job but ultimately much safer too. The MK USB power sockets you showed have a switching power supply inside, not an old school transformer. I think because the angle grinder utilises a worm gear to allow the plane of rotation of the disc to be 90° in conjunction with the motor it will likely use a clutch mechanism to allow the cutting disc to turn independently which may be designed to click when manually rotated.
That soldering iron looks huge. I’ve been using a iroda gas soldering iron (£15) for years, small and lightweight uses lighter gas (89p for large bottle from home bargains and lasts months), fits in tool bag (no bigger than a screwdriver). Come on £175 for that huge thing! Just to be used occasionally. Oh and as much as I love the vids, you were a bit ott in trying to sell us that thing 😁
I've fitted thousands of the MK Logic Plus USB sockets. I must admit I'm not overly fussed on MK products. I personally think Hager gear is of a much higher quality. Testing isn't an issue with the USB sockets. Your only limitation is IR testing at 250v between Line & Earth and Neutral & Earth only. No different to having a fancy LED light fitted during testing.
A portable soldering iron is a nice tool to have, can really save the day at times. Though, 20-30 seconds for it to heat up is a bit of a drag.... Though, I also fully understand that one might not drag along a 100+ watt soldering station with temperature regulation and the like... But there are semi easy ways of getting a Hakko T12 solution to run off a standard 12-18 volt tool battery or just a lithium battery pack, would heat up in less then 5 seconds, and has plenty of power to boot and tight temperature regulation so that one doesn't accidentally melt/break stuff. (Not to mention the large selection of T12 tips as well.)
I’d love to see you using the soldering iron on leds as you mentioned, I bought a little rechargeable one from Aldi ages ago but I’ve never actually used it😦
About the USB sockets, Most are no good for modern devices anyway these days and a couple of years ago when they started getting popular, it was worked out that having them powered 24/7/365 costs you £12 a year per socket. That can really build up in a house that has them everywhere. It is the same as leaving your phone charger plugged in all the time. as phones need more power and faster chargers these sockets seem to just be less and less useful especially if you factor in all the costs.
What exactly is the purpose of plastic capping? It doesn't provide any protection from screws or nails. Is it supposed to provide a cavity that allows the cable to be pulled out and replaced in the future?
The old MK usb sockets I fitted has micro switches on the shutters. Wish the ones in the rest of the house did as you can hear the high pitch noise from the power supply in them 😢
I reckon every plasterer in London must have a strong dislike for you and your persistent use of the ubiquitous plastic trunking giving them 3mm at best depth of plaster to cover it. In reality it does virtually nothing to protect the cables but results in the poor plasterer having no coverage depth and a flexible plastic tube that persistently flexes as he tries to finish of the top surface - and we all know that over time there will be tell-tale cracks appearing to highlight your handywork. If you want to use trunking then at least set it at a depth that gives the plaster a fighting chance
I'd honestly prefer pipe for that as the cable isn't anywhere near as likely to catch on the walls of a pipe as it is on the rough brickwork. Then on the other hand I might be prejudiced, having learned the trade in Austria where virtually any wiring is in round 20 mm (or larger depending on the wires) Copex. Even in commercial setups with trays above a grid ceiling all the vertical runs in the walls are in pipe. Only cowboys like the ones who wired this place before Tom came in will put cable straight into the wall (except in crazy situations like walls that are only 50 mm thick or vaulted brick ceilings with very little plaster that are in imminent danger of collapsing if you start chiselling at the bricks from below).
I’m not a sparky, but I just don’t love USB integrated sockets. Active electronics running 24/7 just doesn’t sound like a great plan. Having an external isolator switch would be a great solution. An annoyingly bright LED active when the charging circuit is live would encourage folk to turn it off when not in use.
Tom, with the amount of bad wiring work in that place I'm surprised you didn't just flat out condemn the bad work. Your redoing it to spec and I'm sure you'll get a certificate on it and be proud to put your name on it. Better safe than sorry.
just wondering how do you wire 3 temperature controllers to a single scr using one double pole double throw relay to initiate 3 different output scenarios?
What's with putting conduit in up the walls when it's going to be plastered over? Why not just clip it up the wall? Never seen conduit there the short time I was a spark
don't have to answer this, but curious as to what you charged to do a rewire on the place, considering the work you already did before hand an did you add on for the work you did before they agreed to a rewire,
Doubt there's a lot in it (all has to be compliant) but for 1 & 2.5mm I use Prysmian from Screwfix like Tom bought in the video. Packaging makes it really easy to use. I use larger sizes much less often and Online-Cables Ltd do good prices, as well as selling many other cables
Why doesn't you use pvc pipe in the attic so its easy to rewire? In sweden we have used pipe for 40 years so f.e in my house i can add/replace the wires if i so wish.
Hi there Tom, is your customer planning to insulate his loft space before 'boarding' it? If so, have you carried out the relevant calculations for the impact of thermal insulation and 'grouping' on the current carrying capacity of the cable? ... or are you relying on the low current demand of LED lamps? Have they consulted a structural engineer? Those look like 4 " joists and will not have been designed to carry any weight in the loft space! Yours Aye GB
I'm new to the trade, so this is a genuine question, not heckling. What's wrong with using Wago connectors? They seem much better than choc block connectors.
Well to be fair, it's a grinder and it sounds like it's grinding internally.
What's the security locks on your van Tom how much where from cheers , good vids
I sell hitachi grinders at my hardware store, at least the brushless ones sound like that straight out of the box. Might be that the gear doesn't engage until you spin it up.
Did the grinder by now arrive in the afterlife@bigclive ;-) ?
instablaster
Rough as a badgers arse thankfully you made the right call and rewired it. Hats off to you Sir
Hi Thomas, I know I've mentioned it before, but why won't you listen to an old guy (76 now) please for the sake of your health, get some masks to work in the loft, if you don't you will suffer in a few years time. Please take notice before it is too late.
Regards, Ray..
duly noted; will discuss this in next vid ;-)
Also wear close fitting masks when cutting chases. Silica dust is fecking nasty
Love if you could recommend one or what sepcifications to look for. Im assuming any old mask won't do.
If you really want comfort, try a PAPR,
@@cjmillsnun correct as the h&s guy at work keeps telling us it kills nearly as many as people as asbestosis per year
after seeing the Milwaukee soldering iron I soon whipped my debit card out and got one off ITS love your work and tool reviews wish the industry had more people like your self keep the videos coming love watching them.
glad to see the channel evolve
Even though I dont know anything about electricity I highly enjoy watching your videos!
a loft with no insulation !! i don't think ive ever had the pleasure
haha!
... Or it was all rolled up and cleared out from between the joists before they began working in the loft ? Wouldnt take that long
😉
additional benefit of a switch on the usb ports - isolates the transformer from running 24/7.
yep. waste of energy and lifetime of components. just as having your monitors/work pc on "standby" 24/7 until the caps explode.
Big Clive has one of the best channels on UA-cam!
TEXAS was a very old UK home hardware store, use to be one in Haringey Arena. Chaps 35mm back-boxes as standard, don't go smaller!
Excellent camera and editing work, we have your head on a van to show your going somewhere without words, music in the fast fwd or loud times. A really good proper vid :)
Another great video. I’m sure after a fair days graft it takes a fair bit of effort to edit and put together these videos, appreciate it mate. Keep em coming, all the best.
Tom can I have the back boxes u found in the loft pls I collect old stock , lol I've actually got wooden back boxes from the 50s
Another brilliant informative video
i am happy that i am not an electrician in the UK, standards here in Holland are mutch higher. you will never see cabling smeared into the wal here.Ik can also see that when there are contractors from the UK come and do jobs here, they have really no clue what they are up against metal terminationboxes that can cut into the wires.
I'm an apprentice electrician in NZ and its so interesting to see how different it is over there! Really awesome though
After watching shit loads of your vids, today I've realised that you are the actual real deal. Highly knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Dave. Tom's ok (ish).
Thomas, have a nice day, keep doing the videos
Toms finally got the top
Can't wait for Big Clive to take a peek inside that grinder!!
Creative way of using earth sleeve
I always use round conduit, don't need grommets and can pull wires up or down if required
Hi Thomas, were any of those 'people' electricians, I think I know the answer! if they are I'm glad they're not doing work for me (not that they would be I'm a sparky, retired, but maybe they might when I get too 'doddery' aaaaaah!)

Great video Thom. 👍
hey tom,
love your vids
im a sparky in Australia and i tell you it is wild to see the difference is standards and regulations.

Always check the voltage coming out of the USB. I had full mains on a faulty unit directly into the usb cable... (not MK)
Your videos are getting better every time you upload. Keep up the good work 👍
I'll stick with my butane portasol soldering iron, it does the heat shrink on the end of the LED strip afterwards with the little hot air vent on the tip.

Hi Tom, what’s the best way of pricing for a rewire or any electrical works.
Why do you not use 20mm conduit for wires plastered over? Coming from northern Ireland.
Would be the way to go in most Western European countries. I don't think I've ever seen capping or oval conduit anywhere except in the UK. Of course then you've got the Germans, who'll happily tell you that pipe is so 1930s and you should just use cable straight in the plaster. I've even had Germans tell me that using pipe in walls is forbidden!
It’s a cheap way of doing it. I’ve always used 20mm conduit
I had MK USB sockets and apparently they are only on when a lead is plugged in. They were fine at charging, but when I tried to use my iPad/ iPhone when charging, the screen became unresponsive. MK said it wasn’t their problem as it complied with USB standards. An earthing issue I think. I’d love to hear if these new ones allow phones to work properly while charging.

Those Texas back boxes would be worth a mint! Should be placed in the British national museum! Who remembers Texas?! 😝
I see the ceiling is a lath and plaster ceiling, how would you make the hole for the downlight as a normal holesaw would just burn out
Also as a plasterer thank god for an electrician that sets the boxes properly.
I expect it's not just easier to rewire this job but ultimately much safer too.
The MK USB power sockets you showed have a switching power supply inside, not an old school transformer.
I think because the angle grinder utilises a worm gear to allow the plane of rotation of the disc to be 90° in conjunction with the motor it will likely use a clutch mechanism to allow the cutting disc to turn independently which may be designed to click when manually rotated.
How much Cabe is on those rolls at 9:30? In Germany the smallest we got (commercialy) is 50meters
100M ;-)

What's that sliding lock you got on the back doors of your van. Could do with one of them.
So who is this mysterious camera person ?.
I must have missed when Thomas announced this.
Curious, too.
Wish they had a steadier hand 😂
Might be that Laura from the video last month is doing camera op stuff alongside sales work?
I'm curious also but I kind of prefered it the old way.
Hi Tom, nothing wrong with your grinder. Mine has sounded like that from new. It's something to do with the magnets.
Hi Thomas under 18th edition would linian fire clips be allowed to be used on wooden beams as would mean drilling extra holes to fit them
I’d love to see you using the soldering iron on leds as you mentioned, I bought a little rechargeable one from Aldi ages ago but I’ve never actually used it😦
8:10 wouldn't an isolator switch also make it more efficient as you wouldn't have the USB gubbins working all the time?
ever thought of a butane soldering iron, my dad has had one for years. And way smaller and lighter !
i was going to get that soilding iron but i dont use it enough to make it worth it but getting one now
About the USB sockets, Most are no good for modern devices anyway these days and a couple of years ago when they started getting popular, it was worked out that having them powered 24/7/365 costs you £12 a year per socket.

It is the same as leaving your phone charger plugged in all the time. as phones need more power and faster chargers these sockets seem to just be less and less useful especially if you factor in all the costs.
Do you ever use safe plates to protect cables passing through a joist?
Alvin Ashman He does, it’s in a previous video
Because conduit looks neater than capping tbh And end to end protection. especially the cheep capping that you could sneeze and the shit will snap
you should take a look at the TS-80 soldering iron, it's pretty damn awesome too and debatably more portable
Do you let the customer keep all the scrap cable or do you cash that in yourself?
What exactly is the purpose of plastic capping? It doesn't provide any protection from screws or nails. Is it supposed to provide a cavity that allows the cable to be pulled out and replaced in the future?
The old MK usb sockets I fitted has micro switches on the shutters. Wish the ones in the rest of the house did as you can hear the high pitch noise from the power supply in them 😢
hi to I get upset when your vids end because ive learnt so much from yo and you are my role modal
Little Tom was secretly listening to a cheeky bit of classical music when you went off to screwfix.
I reckon every plasterer in London must have a strong dislike for you and your persistent use of the ubiquitous plastic trunking giving them 3mm at best depth of plaster to cover it. In reality it does virtually nothing to protect the cables but results in the poor plasterer having no coverage depth and a flexible plastic tube that persistently flexes as he tries to finish of the top surface - and we all know that over time there will be tell-tale cracks appearing to highlight your handywork. If you want to use trunking then at least set it at a depth that gives the plaster a fighting chance
I was wondering about that too, there is almost no space and plastic isnt exactly the best in terms of "grip" for the stuff to hold onto.
Steve-DIFMEIWS Steve I thought the same thing.
Capping allows the wire to be re-chased should the need arise
that's what plasterboard's for mate?
I'd honestly prefer pipe for that as the cable isn't anywhere near as likely to catch on the walls of a pipe as it is on the rough brickwork.
Then on the other hand I might be prejudiced, having learned the trade in Austria where virtually any wiring is in round 20 mm (or larger depending on the wires) Copex. Even in commercial setups with trays above a grid ceiling all the vertical runs in the walls are in pipe. Only cowboys like the ones who wired this place before Tom came in will put cable straight into the wall (except in crazy situations like walls that are only 50 mm thick or vaulted brick ceilings with very little plaster that are in imminent danger of collapsing if you start chiselling at the bricks from below).

just wondering how do you wire 3 temperature controllers to a single scr using one double pole double throw relay to initiate 3 different output scenarios?
Or an inductive/micro switch, so when you put the usb in, it turns the thing on.
What's with putting conduit in up the walls when it's going to be plastered over? Why not just clip it up the wall? Never seen conduit there the short time I was a spark
That soldering iron looks really clumsy for "small delicate" work like LED strips. Are you aware of the TS100 and TS80 ?
don't have to answer this, but curious as to what you charged to do a rewire on the place, considering the work you already did before hand an did you add on for the work you did before they agreed to a rewire,
Great video as allways. What's with the gaunt zombie face on your knee from 1:56
MK offers a separate USB module with shuttered ports (K5837). These seem to be switched by the shutter movement.
I don't know how you nail your plastic capping on. It just cracks completely when I nail into it. I prefer the metal capping.
Your amazing Thomas Nagy I have watched every single video on your UA-cam channel.
PLEASE MAY I HAVE A SHOUT OUT.
Congrats Harry Gocher
How do you wire a fire alarm flow switch?
What cable do you use? Can you make a review of the best twin flat cable 6242y
Doubt there's a lot in it (all has to be compliant) but for 1 & 2.5mm I use Prysmian from Screwfix like Tom bought in the video. Packaging makes it really easy to use. I use larger sizes much less often and Online-Cables Ltd do good prices, as well as selling many other cables
David Gill thanks, what about performance in terms of stripping?
1 of the people that complained about you charging the customer was probably the original ‘spark’ I use that term loosely lol
Big Clive
Bigclivedotcom has a channel where he takes dodgy electrical and electronic items apart etc.
Why doesn't you use pvc pipe in the attic so its easy to rewire? In sweden we have used pipe for 40 years so f.e in my house i can add/replace the wires if i so wish.
Try a ts80 or ts100 soldering iron
Hi there Tom, is your customer planning to insulate his loft space before 'boarding' it? If so, have you carried out the relevant calculations for the impact of thermal insulation and 'grouping' on the current carrying capacity of the cable? ... or are you relying on the low current demand of LED lamps? Have they consulted a structural engineer? Those look like 4 " joists and will not have been designed to carry any weight in the loft space!
Yours Aye
GB
You mean those two 1.5 cables doing less than 2A worth of lighting in less than a 5m run?
Would the soldering iron be any good at reheating my double sausage and egg mcmuffin meal every day??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Haha! Well I bet you’re both happy that the loft hasn’t got any fibreglass in! My pet hate wiring in lofts 🙈
The millwaukee soldiering iron how much is it
I'm new to the trade, so this is a genuine question, not heckling. What's wrong with using Wago connectors? They seem much better than choc block connectors.
In Northern Ireland, if you left a job with capping not conduit your name would be mud
AVE might be the better one to tear that down. Sounds mechanical rather than electrical. Probably the bearings.
I'm still at the beginning of my electrical trianing, just basic theory, when do you do soldering rewiring a house??? Great vids as usual.
not so much when rewiring, but things like led strip lighting, soldering connections etc..
Great way of joining cable, when you have no room for wagos etc. Done right the join is barely thicker than the original cable and strong.
does anyone know what brand of trousers tom is wearing?
jcb cheadle ;-)
Sorry i meant the other tom. I mean dave :)
Who does the filming?
i've queried this with CEF, apparently their brand is dealing with that issue of isolation
