On small installs it's not too much of a problem doing it the old way but on bigger stuff it used to be a pain.

How come your not in trade yet? There's ways  to blag your way in stuff your good at 

 

Need to do your head in the dark side 

Pj's probably still vetting him, it's an age thing. 

Hi Al: Just PM'd you.

 

Hey norm: Can't blame Peter mate, he's innocent .

Meh! 

Well the Ideal abs arrived and have to say: I'm totally underwhelmed with it, nothing like Ideal stuff I've used in the past. This feels cheap & nasty, more like a kids toy to be honest.

The tone generator or thrower as they call it uses a non standard battery which will be a pain, luckily the seller put new batteries in so I was able to try it out.

Definitely not impressed, you have to be almost on top of the cable to be able to use the tracer. Not had a chance to try the butt test side yet but will give it a try on the weekend and hope that works better.

Hey Mr H, Don't have a link for it unfortunately but it's the ideal abs tone thrower and probe. It was only a cheap thing where I bought it but apparently they're normally about £70, so would have expected more.

Probably something else where production has been transferred to Asia.

Ideal are good 

 

Is it blue in colour?

 

Although they have few versions older ones were good

Hi Al: I used to use ideal testers and never had a problem with them, but this is nowhere like them.

Yes mate, it's blue in colour.
