You should be fine.
The MM set I had would open up a blank hole etc to allow a switch to fit.

Don't have any, the house got burgled over Christmas.Easiest way to remove your valuables....
Turns out the scaffolders were only supposed to give a quote, the roofers who fixed the leak last year said it needs a new roof, so I guess that's getting done sooner rather than later, the house is getting refurbed when we move out this summer anyway.

I got some a while ago, can’t say how well they work in metal, but used in plastic to punch a hole in a water butt & worked very well for that, nice clean hole. Did the job, so as far as I was concerned I got my monies worth, next time I use them it will be a bonus.
I have the Aldi ones, Ok on plastic, allu, steel, haven't tried on stainless yet

A tyre of many parts.
It disappeared on me.
So sorry to anyone on the A34 north bound this morning for the hold up.
Dam glad it was not a "Smart Road". Hard shoulder was to narrow to fix the van. So Rolling road block, with Traffic Womballs. Until the tyre and rim said NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Inside lane closed as Recovery (AA, my van is lease hired, so I am one of the 4 in the company using them).
Heavy wagon arrived, lifted on the frame, ended up 5 miles from home in Main dealer.

No.
That new one. Fitted yesterday, is on the rear.
Same side.
This one has done 3,000 miles.
We don't know what caused the failure, but my bum says it was sudden.

Some conduit entries and a bucket load of steel rulers:
I've been looking for ages (literally years) for someone who makes decent metric steel rulers. My criteria for decent is that you can work in millimetres or half-millimetres and you can work on either the top or bottom edge.
It's astonishing how many metric rulers fail at this simple requirement: either having millimetres on the top edge and half-millimetres on the bottom edge (regardless of size), or the particularly special "metric steel rule" I bought from Axminster a few years ago that turned out to have one side with millimetres on the top edge and half-millimetres on the bottom edge and on the other side to have the conversion factors to go from metric to imperial. Who buys a metric only steel rule and wants imperial conversion factors printed on it?!?!?
Anyway, these Facom Dela 1051 (£1.61 from RS for the 150 mm version) have got it right, so I bought lots:

I know that feeling!!! If I let go of my bank card it floats away!!Quite a lot of 'outgoings' recently - I've changed the combination on my wallet lock.
