Electricians kit

[Pocster]

So !

As I’m an electrician ( ?? ) decided to buy a nice Makita set of electrical tools .

But I can’t figure out what this blue thing is - thought it was some kind of pendulum level ; but I don’t think so ...

Push the metal bit in the live side of a socket and then stick your tongue on it

you know how you used to with those 9volt square batteries.

It’s for fitting walk on glazing ... tells you when it’s level so it doesn’t leak .... ?

I wish there was an emoji for F OFF! ??

Looking online at the blurb it claims there is a "stud finder" in the kit. Now as I am THE expert on this subject I'm rather concerned if THIS thing is it.....

Luckily I'd never take the pi$$. 

 

It really is a "manual" stud finder. Magnet picks up on steel screws / nail heads. When it tilts perpendicular you're bang on the nail. Then pencil the two vees and in the middle is theoretically the centre of the stud. Assumes of course they originally banged the nails in on the centre line...

 

 

Stanley do something very similar.

I should add I'm fresh out of the pub so feeling unusuallly benevolent.

Isn’t that a plonker-meter which has gone to 100%?
