    How to get wire back into connector

    Hi, I have accidentally pulled a wire out of connector (believe it is a molex?) I have seen info about getting the metal part out of the connector but only if the wire is still attached. Is there any way I can get the metal part out so I can reattach the wire? Thanks

    How to get into the trade whilst re-training

    Hi, I’m an adult learner, just completed my level 2 and 18th edition. How do you get into the trade? Every mate/improver job I see you need experience, own tools etc. It feels like no one is willing to give you a chance or even respond to you.
