    Aico vs FireAngel with app notifications

    I've previously installed Aico detectors and integrated them with a Texecom intruder alarm system via a relay base (Ei128R) for notifications through the Texecom app, an option to look into if you're just after notifications whether they've activated or not.

    Which M Class dust extractor

    Which Triple Pole ladders

    I've got a set of the triple "Lyte" ladders from Screwfix many years ago, are light enough to move around easily and solid enough when they're fully extended (not bouncing around whilst going up them!).
