Ideal transmitter and receiver circuits here methinks: https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/cheap-and-dirty-wireless-remote-control Transmitter constantly transmits and receiver has an LED and relay output. I wonder if those cheap as chips Chinese RF modules @ProDave got from China could be substituted for the Radiometrix modules?

Love it. Got a link to the gravel crates you used?

Here you go Peter, little video of a nice and simple chunky contactor to give you a volt free set of contacts to do "something" if you lose power. Amber beacon in the shed window run off a solar trickle charged battery?

Yep, no problems, was going to anyway. I'll drill out a couple of arbours, a 10 and a 10.5, maybe 10 and 10.2 if I can find the 10.2! Will aim to post out Monday.

It's when they come out of the bedroom shouting "Look Gran, I'm a unicorn!" it gets awkward... -
Right, pm me your address and I'll post after drilling out.

Of a pair of these, one went bang pretty soon after purchase. The other, seen here, continues to function: I've been using it to hold formwork together doing the brick pillars. I've kept the broken ones under the illusion (delusion?) I'll take them apart one day in case it's a simple fix! ? Tbf most have screws to disassemble rather than being riveted. This one, the front, then part of the handle/pistol grip broke off in use:

I was only just reading of the high levels of isotopes such as chlorine-36 found in Antarctica caused by fallout from US nuclear tests in the Pacific 70 years ago... ?

Just a few of mine put to good use when I foam filled a upvc cill. It prevented the cill distorting at all. I like the screw handle, G clamp type as you can set them to just lightly "touch" the sides of the pieces you're clamping without squeezing in any way but still preventing movement. The orange "silicone gun" type, along with the Irwin esque types I suspect apply a constant force until released.

What Geberit WCs are you having, the Aquaclean ones that wash and dry your ar5e? -
He exists on this very forum, just say his name three times!

I've a selection of this type collected over the years, varying in size and quality. Can't tbh remember the last time I used them!

See my post above. Irwins are great, its the cheapo copies that go bang on me. The ones I pictured were Lidl Powerfix I'm sure. Same concept as the Irwins but I guess plastic insides. I'll dig the broken ones out and post a pic.
-
My original type. All metal & still using them. Have like a silicone gun construction: Lidls often have these in, cheap and sometimes quite long lengths. I've half a dozen for multiple clamp jobs: Avoid this type, they just break. Squeeze too hard and the mechanism goes "bang":
-
Real important to clamp if you're cutting thin sheet metal which can bang and clatter like a bast@rd if you don't. Another vote for Irwin clamps.
