There’s 240v on the white wire going to the gas valve but nothing on the black. I presume there should be 240v on the black as well. If...

    Mini pipe bender

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent mini pipe bender for mostly 10mm pipe. I have a nasty cheap one that just mangles the pipe as much as bends it! I would rather spend a bit and get a decent one as I've started doing a lot of hob installs recently. Thanks for any help.

    Wet/dry vac on oil tank

    Has anyone ever used their wet/dry vac to hoover up the dregs in an oil tank? Had a contaminated oil tank and pumped out most of the oil using a hand pump.
