Discuss When does taking a fuse out protect you..? in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

My point being that an electrician is unlikely to state that he has no qualifications in the trade.
There loads of posters HS don't add their quals in their profile, but to state he has none, well I take your point
 
don't mention qualifications. i wanted to retrain as a plumber, but the exam questions were so bloody hard. like

Q1. does pi$$ flow uphill or down?

Q2 which, if any , of these are magnetic?
1.copper pipe
2. plastic pipe
3. asbestos soil pipe
4. pipe grips.

i went with copper pipe as it's metal and the wood butcher had nicked my pipe grips so i could not test.

it depends how pedantic they want to get about it , plastic does have magnetic properties, just not very much.
 
Jeeez I gave away one of this Martindale testers a few years back and swapped it for a Fluke, sort of regret it now as the Fluke failed after 2 years but the Martindale lasted 25 years, mug.

Never ever assume that a circuit is dead when you throw the switch, check and double check.
