Review for Faithfull - Circuit Breaker - RCD Power Adaptor:
The buttons to test and reset are pretty clunky and you have to push the reset button at just the right angle, or else it doesn't depress. I think this will annoy me over time. I was also expecting a bright led light to come on, when it has been reset. Even in the dark, the light is so dim, that it is hard to see. Coupled with the fact that the button is hard to push, so you never really know if you have depressed it enough, I don't really rate this RCD very much. How hard is it to make a unit with easy to push buttons ? The only other alternative was a bright yellow JCB one, and as they are into diggers, not RCD's, I assume that you are just paying for the brand name with them.

RCD Reviewer
I bought this instead of the slightly more expensive Draper RCD, as on appearance they look to be the same product, apart from the writing. With RCD's, you will never really know if they work unless you create a short - cut through a cable, etc.The buttons to test and reset are pretty clunky and you have to push the reset button at just the right angle, or else it doesn't depress.

Review for Dewalt DC500 230V Cord / Cless Vacuum W/Dry:
DC500 Kinda Sucks
On paper the DC500 is very appealing, a cordless wet/dry vac every plumbers dream. Once I turned it on however the first thing that hits you is the obvious lack of suction, even when working it off the mains. Surprisingly though it does an excellent job of picking up anything. This is an excellent tool for tiding up after drilling holes in walls, floors etc especially as it is battery powered. However there is a downside, the waterproof cover on the filter does not last any time at all, and once it has deteriorated getting the filter wet is a disaster, as the vacuum losses all suction until you get the filter bone dry, and I mean bone dry. For a plumber this is not a good thing. If you plan to use this solely for dry pick up then buy it, it's a great piece of kit. But as a wet and dry vac it's a real let down.26

Review for Black&Decker KC9024B Screwdriver:
Well this nice little gadget solves all this, allowing you to happily whip screws in and out to your hearts content! With its magnetised head and double attachment for both standard and phillips head screws it is a small, neat tool ideal for putting up flat pack furniture if you have just moved into a new home. It really does make light work of a little job that can sometimes become frustrating.
It does have a drawback in that it lacks the real power of a bigger device, or perhaps that you could put in with a manual screwdriver, but to be fair was never intended for heavy work.
If you just want a simple tool that you can tuck in a drawer till you need it then this is definately the one to go for.

Great set of indoor steps
Really excellent small indoor steps for those little extra inches. Light weight yet very strong. A really good product. Two of these steps in my family.
