Ferdinand Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) I would say that sockets from established makers are so cheap that the saving is not that significant compared to eg the ability to match after. eg Hager double pole switched double sockets are around £2 with a quick search. Unless, I suppose, you buy 20 years’ supply ?. Ferdinand (who just bought 4 wheelbarrows) Edited June 6, 2018 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplysimon Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 that's them, with three years warranty as well due to aldi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Single or double pole out of interest? Not saying it'll be an issue but poorer quality sockets can sometimes break down, crack and show brown marks if running hot i.e with a couple of heavy loads plugged in. But then saying that even the better known makes can be overloaded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 don't see the problem, should be able to clean the graffiti off with a suitable solvent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranjeboom Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 and a bit of tippex for those smoke stains. You really should try and give up on that dirty habit @Onoff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
