Kitting a new Amnesty store in Kentish Town | Thomas Nagy

[@gewens]

Nice to see Dave is back. Just goes to show you should never burn your bridges.

[@mikeberry304]

Good to see the A Team back together , it's good to have someone who you know how he works , at least he saw the grass is not always greener on the other side , great video as always

[@Podelect]

Great to hear Dave’s back I bit he like the new van he seems to be a good worker just watch your back cos you never know what will come down the line.

[@jamesswinyard530]

Good to see Dave back. As you say, fair play to him for giving you a call about work. Get that second van paying for itself now!

[@jordanmorrison9549]

Great to see that Dave is back, was missing him in the video's.

[@LtKernelPanic]

I've always said you should always leave a job on good terms because you never know when you may want to go back if something doesn't work out. Glad to see him back. You guys made a good team.

[@jayr7861]

Nice to see that you gave Dave his job back. Your a good man.

[@KINNELLCOD]

Honestly love your videos. I am a painter and decorator so know nothing about electrical work. I subbed awhile ago and now watch all videos you put out. Nice to see how another trade works and I think your great on camera.

[@jettpotter7599]

Everyone asking why Dave is back, how about just watch the whole video till the end and you’ll find out.

[@user-wk7wv8rn8h]

Yeah people need to stfu

[@Jako1987]

Watch the full video before commenting? What is that?

[@jimmythegent2131]

Whys dave back

[@james-5560]

Millennials can't last that long attention span wise

[@niallers8572]

Good to see Dave back fair play Tom for giving him an other chance

[@hieveryone999]

Yes Dave

[@chriholt]

Glad to see Dave back. I complete agree that everyone makes mistakes, and good on him that he owned it and rang you up. Good on you for taking him back!

[@artisanelectrics]

I quoted for wiring an Amnesty Bookshop in Cambridge but got priced out by shop fitters. It’s just closed down now though about a year after they fitted out the whole place.

[@dosgos]

Glad to see you took Dave back into the fold. I think that says a lot about both your character and his. It is fun to watch how you grow the business and continue to improve. Keep up the great work!

[@danielelise7348]

Well that answers the question I was just about to ask,glad to see they are working together again!

[@peterl.deegan9059]

With dave coming back and you embracing him into your arm like father is it time for Thomas naggy and sons,Ltd 😂😂😂😁😜

[@nigeldolman954]

Oh those joists at 1200. Gotta love it! Welcome back Dave. Tom missed you really.

[@lukestewartlukeelectrical8146]

Great to see the team back together! :) hi Dave and Tom

[@adamjwhite50]

Takes balls for Dave to do that seems a good guy

[@geoffupton]

do i see dave?! YAY! couldnt stay away! 😊 glad yer back! we missed ya! fun vid!

[@ryanryan439]

Fair play Tom. Not many tradesmen would have someone back as quick as you have taken Dave back. Hope Dave does a video explaining what went wrong in case anyone else thinks an opportunity’s too good to be true.

[@BoozySZN]

I don't know anything about what you do, but it's extremely interesting and you're a cool dude.

[@unicorn7337]

Fair play to Dave for being a big enough man to swallow his pride and ask for his job back, and fair play to you Tom for giving him another chance. I really hope it works out, you both seem to work really well together and have a bit of banter at the same time, which is important as well!

[@johnnythomas8036]

Good of you taking him back👍🏻

[@crigeorge9549]

Hi Tom. nice to see you again

[@mindgame112]

Was that LED strip in the fuse bord battery powered? Because then it really makes sense for when power goes out

[@Leftfield2k7]

Yeah, if you look closely it appears to have one of them MN21 12v Alkaline Batteries in the middle of the LED strip. Neat feature :-)

[@daveyconor]

Yes they are. I use them they are alright. When fitting the neutrals in to the top bar have to be careful not to strip to.much as when You are rotating tjr fron cover it is dangerous close to the neutral bar and stripped cables on the top

[@jangoofy]

Welcome home Dave! :-)

[@j444bek]

Welcome back TomDave :) Great video as usual Mr Nagy. I've used those CPN boards before they are a nice budget consumer unit and the customer always like the light feature.

[@90msg90]

Dave! Good to see you man!

[@daviddunbar5754]

I have one of those boards in my house. Very good quality and more importantly made in a great range of sizes (mine had to fit in a particularly tight space). The light is a very neat touch!

[@donnierobertson3088]

Good job

[@tam1381]

Good to see Dave back.

[@mohammedsarwar6352]

Thanks for your vids Thomas. I have to make good any holes in ceilings etc. Your clients must be very understanding!

[@whatdashiznit3249]

Mohammed Sarwar why would you do that, you’re not a decorator are you?

[@pistolpete5189]

The triangle on the nurse call is supposed to be a max of 3” of the floor so you can pull them with your mouth if your arms don’t work!!

[@ryanallen3704]

And if your eyes worked properly you'd see there is one about 2" off the floor.

[@coyote5735]

If you are in that much of a state I doubt you would be let out!

[@pistolpete5189]

Ryan Allen Hardly any need for the lip is there?

[@TheSadButMadLad]

6:12 Nice to see Dave back and making an impression! :-)

[@craigdiamondbrite]

Your a sound guy Thomas, well done for giving him a second chance

[@tiwoody]

Good to see someone installing the disabled alarm sensibly. Cord is in case person collapses, falls or has some other emergency. Too many times seem these installed directly above the toilet pan and tied up. If someone were to fall the hope is they could crawl to the cord and tag it on. Can’t really do that if it’s tied up.

[@markboon9327]

Super video mate and nice to see dave back happy days.

[@mikegardiner6362]

Dave’s back 🎉🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@SamRoebuckisTheBest]

Always enjoy your videos Tom👊

[@theairconditioningguy]

I would just love working with no other trades around. Nice job!

[@ConjuredUndead]

That’s why I personally fit the double box reset button for the WC alarm above the door. That way you have to enter the space to reset.

[@Maj275]

In Germany the RCD tripping current by VDE has to be at least half of the stated current or up to the stated current. So 30mA RCDs can trip at any current between 15mA and 30mA.

[@brianoceallaigh8714]

Good man Dave... Nice to see you back... From a old guy I've lost count over the years how many employers I've worked for but you got a good one in Tom... Oh by the way When those pull cord alarms were first interduced a running joke amongst us was they were for if you ran out of bog roll while on the job...

[@leegibson9270]

Great video .... I’d have patched the holes tho 👀👀 , would literally take 20 mins

[@Leftfield2k7]

Yep, always make good! Some customers can be right douchbags and will bitch about it and not give you any future business!

[@ryanelmer2631]

Sausagetoes001 Mr Lee not a electricians job

[@UberAlphaSirus]

yup, 4 gyprocs and a bit of anything to span the hole. good to use a hole saw too, then you can use any cutout or a new bit of board for any hole.

[@Wetthewhistle]

He's back!

[@harrisonb7275]

I find it really great when Tom shuts down people with there worries my favourite was '' I dunno maybe the fucking great door might get rid of some moisture''

[@tyice8730]

wow what is that flushbox drill attachment? I WANT ONE!

[@richardwilliamson3624]

Yay, Dave’s back ;)

[@Mark-gf7yw]

Dave just wants the new van 😉.......................Welcome back Tom.

[@MrTIMETODIE1]

Welcome back dave

[@ashmanelectricalservices4318]

Yay, Dave's back 👍

[@quigofamily6362]

Can’t beat a bit of Naggy to get over the midweek blues... 👍

[@manneroo]

Welcome back Dave.

[@willgrand461]

Fitted a few of those disabled alarm thingies. I have wondered why you can reset it from the outside but i suppose if someone requires assistance it's handy to have the ability to reset it from the outside so you can converse with the person through the door without having to shout over the buzzer. I usually mount the reset/controller thing above the door with the spur, so it's a little more difficult to reset. Don't know why people have issues with MK, those spurs are fine, my only issue with them is the fuse holder isn't always easy to pop out.

[@reissrobinson]

I'M NOT A SPARK have no interest in the field but love your videos lol (might learn something) - good seeing kentish too. Might have to watch them all from the start like a Netflix binge haha

[@thomasnagy]

Cheers mate! Nice to know if I can compete against a Netflix binge ... ;-)

[@theinstallerguy786]

I’ve got the same meter as you but I’m just using standard aa batteries instead of the rechargeable ones because they don’t seem to last. Still got my megger 1552 which is my back up meter. Metrels are quite good and has been a good workhorse.

[@danielclayton-davies8063]

Good to see Dave back, seems like a good team. Bet Dave felt awkward coming back but as you said man enough to admit his mistakes. Hope you stay together a while lads 👍🏻

[@KleinGuyJon]

Great video jobsite Tag-Along lol interesting to see how different the electrical trade is over in the U.K. than here in the U.S. Love the videos.

[@drpipe]

Always good to see you on the screen. Dave must have been missing the Camera !

[@brenthanson1368]

Welcome back Dave 👍

[@michaelboyes4948]

Best thing to do instead of cutting loads of different sized squares,use a big hole saw like 110mm then just screw it back in place making it easier for some one to patch

[@DaddyBear3000]

Michael Boyes yep, this is my go to method. Not just 110mm, but hole saws.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

sorry can you explain again? thanks

[@R0T3]

That would be too easy... Here in Sweden we use round back boxes that we fit before the wall is up, then we put a "hole in one" magnet in every box, put the sheet of plasterboard over it and drill with a hole saw using a magnetic "finder" and the holes line up perfectly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2HXhpadjdaIa5o

[@gebear1]

As always I enjoy watching and listening to your broadcasts keep it up....

[@juncusbufonius]

Oh, Thomas, you've obviously not thought about Betty too much. She's in the loo and starts to have a seizure and so pulls the chord. Betty's back again with her 3 yr old granddaughter and while doing what she needs to the little tike pulls the chord. You want to be able to tell the people outside it's a false alarm. Rather than catch you with your draws down. They can then just reset it.

[@iancollins6149]

What did you do with the cable nest in the toilet.

[@peterpryor1858]

Always excited to see another video posted 👍

[@sandy1653]

Now that light on the distro board, does it have some kind of battery as well, because if it did that'd be ace too.

[@DaddyBear3000]

Highly recommend Cudis boards, I’ve used them a few times and the light is just common sense in action.

[@tyrone3k16]

Yayyy daves back 🙂👍🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@joe-wk2fy]

I recommend the Megger MFT1721 that's what i'm currently using

[@ghspaelectricalservices9296]

Top job as always

[@creativejamieplays7185]

Been waiting for a video for ages!

[@creativejamieplays7185]

So happy nowwww.

[@michaelodonoghue7464]

My last House, in which I lived for 28 Years, had those Universally Height Adjustable Light Switches (Pull Cords) which were great for enabling or isolating individuals of various heights from activating or not activating Lights and Heaters etc.

[@multiice5959]

I know nothing about electrics but i love these videos...Just me?

[@dehv]

Not alone mate

[@shlepkovac3759]

I'm a fucking electrician dealing with this shit every day and I still like watching it after work. Go figure

[@ryanelewis1379]

And me, I work in IT but have a some spot for electrical work I think

[@darraghjoyce5663]

same with dave and hes in the videos

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

I regularly see those panic alarm indicators arranged in a bank on the wall in a nurses or carers office - they look to see who's room is reporting an alarm, silence it, then go check it out. I think that's the general idea

[@calmeilles]

Good for Dave! :D

[@MatthewA1106]

Hey what model Motorola's are they? Usually you can program them relatively easily with the Motorola software. All you need is a laptop or computer and a programming cable that most likely came with the radios.

[@matthewtatterton9898]

When you get your new megger send your old one my way - I'll give it a good home where it can see out the rest of it's days in peace 😁

[@jackwatson1674]

hey tom, is there any reason you choose to change the branding of the vans, from your previous company branding to what their new design is? love the content!

[@RoyCousins]

Welcome back Tom2 / Dave !

[@davidwedge1931]

Nice to see Dave back. A little surprised you didn’t make good the holes in the ceiling.

[@alexanderblegenaaseb6347]

In norway, a ramp test is obligatory to perform when mounting a RCD.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

you scandi guys are so sensible i love it

[@dehv]

Good team you and Dave. You can trust a Dave.

[@SamButlerUK]

dehv especially when they’re called Tom 🤣

[@paulellis3481]

Red pull cord reset button on the outside... Possibly to communicate through a locked door without the alarm sounding?

[@caustin6554]

When I've fitted disabled alarms before the restet button has been on the inside not the outside, never seen it done like that before

[@harrycollins4347]

Is this the permanent return of Dave?? In regards to test meters, ask Gaz @GSH Electrical about the megger mfts.

[@tentotwo8290]

Just a quick question. Why don't you make good the damage/holes you make included in the installation, thanks 👍 great video.

[@TheChipmunk2008]

"i thought we'd do this all tonight... but yeah...no" You sir, are a true spark LOL

[@TheChipmunk2008]

The number of times we've turned up to a 'quote' at 5pm where the customer got pissed off that their 3 bed semi isn't being rewired tonight.... is numerable on 3 hands

[@spencermichaels6524]

You get the CPN Cudis boards from certain CEF wholesalers, mate. I always fit the RCBO versions, they’re brilliant and half the price of Wylex and Hager!

[@calmeilles]

They look good. www.cudis.co.uk/product-category/consumer-units/

[@daveyconor]

Just need to what the neutral length yeh!

[@InvadersDie]

the lights are a nice enough feature, probably not that useful though. Everyone carries phones so if it goes dark fumbling over to the fuse box is unlikely, and so you don't really need the light on the fuse box anyway.

[@life-n7e]

It is safe to fit a 63 amp consumer unit isolator switch when using 63 amp RCD's? If the RCD should trip will the 63 amp isolator switch also switch off?

[@AmauryJacquot]

the pull cord thing in the bog is for handicapped people tom/dave is back ? good for him !

[@krashd]

At my work for some reason one of the toilets has a cord immediately inside the door that controls the lights in the hall and I was told that several years before I joined there was an incident where the staff wondered why the lights in the hall were switching on and off repeatedly before someone realised what was going on. Still don't know if that was true but it gets told to every new person that joins on our floor.

[@JohnDuffell]

Regarding the RCD, 30mA is the max, 15mA is the min. That's why the basic tester has 1/2xI and 1xI because it shouldn't trip at half and should at 1x. And 5xI is for testing the speed of reaction.

[@county582]

Could you do some insulation resistance testing and loop impedance vid in the future just on a small install. Just to see your way of doing it I’m just learning the testing at the moment 👍

[@bgreene65g]

To program those network radios you need the program cable and software. Cable is not to expensive and the software is downloaded. There are KZbin videos on how to do it. I would be glad to help but shipping to the states is a little expensive

[@adamwilliams9463]

Is dave back for good also i find SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LISSE wiring accessories are nice to wire and look nice aswell and there not that expensive

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

Just down the road from me, going to be a book shop 😉

[@Power-Wiesel]

Welcome back Dave

[@coldsi6076]

I’ve fitted a few cudis consumer units not bad didn’t like the RCBOs

[@T4YLOR10]

I'm new to the whole electrical stuff and I'm learning to become an electrician and have had no on site experience as of yet. I am just about to finish my Level City and Guild Electrotechnical 2365 course. But I have a quick question: When cutting out walls or chasing for sockets to go in or light in the ceiling how do you get cable behind the walls and then all the way back to the DB Just a question because I have no experience please don't attack me haha.
