haha, nothing wrong with a voltstick :tongue3:

 

[Tridentsystems]

Nothing wrong with them as long as you use them for what they are. Would never trust them for safe isolation etc

 

[GLENNSPARK]

well this guy is using it to verify voltage on an outlet....come on...they have plug in testers in the us you know...

 

[MDJ]

[Tridentsystems]

I use my plugtop for that , already got a link between the phase and earth for dead tests, just plug it in live, verified disconnection assured in most cases lol

i have a copy of the usa wiring regs installed on my computer , and at 800 pages long its 3 times thicker than the uk regs.
saying that though , alot is very similar , just the phrases used are obviously different.

i'd jump at the chance to do some electrics across the atlantic , according to my research i am equivolent to an american "master electrician" ;-)
sounds alot better than part p housebasher lol.

After that link glenn ive just been looking through 'similar' or 'related' videos - you can literally find out how to do anything whether correctly or incorrectly via youtube. That's terribly bad - explains some of these diy catastrophes.

well....and i`v said it before...and i`l say it again...homeowners can do what the hell they like for me....
and when they ring up wanting you to come out n sort all their nonsense for em....you put it on time....
the longer they deny any DIY efforts at `electrics` and where they`v been arsin about...the more it costs em....
