    Love the tools but it is an industry thing why most of the tools VDE what is the benefit to you as a user unless it is live work? Why are you doing live work what are the special circumstances? Would love to read the RAMS. It’s the cost that puts me off, I have a set of RS own brand screwdrivers not VDE and they are still 100% perfect they are 5 years old and I have put them through hell and my VDE set look battered. How do you look after the VDE tools as per manufactured instructions? Are they clean not damaged is the insulation all ok do you check it before every use? General answer No. how many times a day do you drop them? As sparks we have to spend out so much on equipment and get it tested every year. Hand tools can you afford VDE when 99.999% circuit is dead?

    I cant even think of a reason to why. Sockets far to low also. Easy fix unless you have to move all the other sockets up aswell. And whats with that wire hanging above aswell . Nice bosch cooker but got john wayne to do the electrics

    Just use keepa to track amazon prices then buy it when its on deal. The other places to buy have shot themselves in the fiot either with crap service or shit quality tools. Manufutuers also offer nore discount via Amazon than their own websites.

    • @sotaelectrical
      @sotaelectrical 2 дні тому

      Hi there, thank you!! So I don’t think you can get the dead bolts on the front doors but you can change the barrel like I have so it’s a mechanical lock rather than an electrical one. Pm me and I can help more maybe

    Best tradeshow pricing for tools I have ever seen was at CEF live at the NEC last year, googling it on the day CEF live were cheaper than pretty much every link that came up across all the items for sale at the show.... other tradeshows as you have found are hit and miss

  • @holmesyful
    @holmesyful 2 дні тому

    It’s a shame how expensive tools are now a days. In general they aren’t good value for money. For the video I would have probably just compared the show to the cheapest options available online because that’s what you would do if you were trying to get a good deal.

    I’m just a DIYer but like decent tools. I use camel uk to track Amazon prices. I set a price I would be happy to pay and then it emails me if it makes it to that price. Does not always happen but I have saved quite a lot in the past.
