  • Probably a stupid question but does anyone wire a plug anymore? I know the regs have changed so most things come pre-plugged nowadays but I bought a new pond pump off t'internet last week and it arrived plugless so i just took the plug off the old one and put it on the new one.

    Now I'm old skool and have wired 100's of plugs in my day despite zero electrical qualifications but I just wondered if this is something that others feel comfortable doing or do you call in an electrician?

  • I'd say pretty much the only time I find myself doing it nowadays is when I want to fit a wire through a small gap.

    Speaking of which, any recommendations for decent wire strippers? I also just find myself using a Stanley knife for stripping wires but I'm sure there's something better out there.

    Knipex are a nice but pricy option
