That's great Steve, glad you're happy with it.

It does take a little practice to hold it steady and yes it makes me jump most times too lol

I think the clips/post being this way is as easy as it could be now, also the clips being filled with solder and filed flat make a difference.

I'm still waiting for my orders of hardware to get here so I can get cracking with more, hopefully this afternoon.

Very pleased with it thanks.

Got the fake chody back today thanks Blakey. Just set it up with my first home made ready wire. It reads 1.7, not bad considering I just guessed at the length of res wire.

I uses 0.20 Silver no res and 0.20 NC res wire. Held the button down for about 5 seconds. Although they were probably short seconds

I sat most of one evening measuring out different wires and testing their resistance with the multimeter as I was going to form a list of lengths to use with different wires but I found a big difference in the same wire depending on where you get it from and in the end gave it up as a bad idea.

You need to hold one of the clips in your mouth, clip the other to your big toe, press and hold the fire button for a full 10 seconds then, holding the non-res in one hand and the res in the other, just touch the wires.
It makes a sh!t joint but you will probably take the first prize in the Break Dancing contest at that club you like to frequent.

Will it forever negate the need for me to shave though

If you clip it in a certain area it may save on the back,sack and crack waxes.

And probably curdle a few things in the process

I will put my self on the list soon. This is a must have

[Skwoddy]

Give one of these to Chris and 50 shades of grey wouldnt have a look in, what with the drill stand, Router and Chris's affination to all things electrical.

Poor, Poor Brenda.

Well you wont get into the rather exclusive "Ive been zapped with a Mevzap" Club until you have got one, used it and felt the surge of 330 volts up your arm that make your teeth chatter.........so dont apply just yet

Mev if you want to get your prices down have a look here, have used them a few times with no problems. In fact I think I will spend the evening there looking for new goodies :-)

Quite looking forward to this now - in a masochistic sort of way

I'm not looking forward to it, Jason says I have to test it first

Does anyone know of a union for cellar workers?
