Stange how they quote, "FIRE SAFETY Complies with Amendment 3 of The Institution of Engineering and Technology New Wiring Regulations"  but then at 0:56 he has forgotten to use grommets in the knockout holes..

Screws do look good though!

    Okay in soft Georgian bricks, useless in most other materials.


    Several years ago I made a point of buying some at an Elex Show, I still have not used them all up.

    To be fair that's a conduit installation so he may not yet have fitted the bush... looks like he's doing it a little backward though, the conduit system INCLUDING the backboxes should be complete before wiring is drawn in ?



    I too bought some when amd 3 came in, and still haven't used them all. They're a little overpriced but are handy in thermalite and soft brickwork as noted above

    Strange place to put T&E! ?

    There are better screws that don’t need rawlplugs and will go into most things using an impact driver. The ones I am thinking of have a Torx head, and are less easily damaged.

    Is that the same as a Manchester screwdriver?

    Spax make Torx headed screws, but I don't know whether they are intended to be used without any sort of plug. I like them even though they don't suit a countersunk head.
