Newly qualified gas engineer need advice on tools/training

[JasonH22]

Hi guys/gals

Just passed and I'm looking at building my tool kit, been buying odds and sods as I've gone along but i'm wondering where would be the best place to buy an analyser from? I've seen them advertised on eBay, facebook, gumtree but my concern is i don't want to be buying another guys stolen tools i know how much of an arse ache it is to have your stuff stolen.

I am also thinking about going to the manufacturer fault finding courses are there any that would be top of the list or ones to avoid?

thanks

That's good going. By 50 most of the the plasterers I know have given up either because their their shoulder has packed up or the dust got them.

I think that if you're planning to work to 75 you probably have to switch trades at least once or twice during your career because not many of them allow you more than about 25 years on the tools without wearing out or breaking some bit of you. 🙁

Technically if you take away time spent in prison/court and getting tattoos most plasterers only work about 15 years in any 25 year period. They should be fit as fiddles really at that point.

Maybe it’s the getting tasered/shanked/drinking booze brewed in a toilet that’s responsible for their early demise.

I bougut a testo new for around £650 and sold it because I work for a company now and they have gave me one. I only got £340 for it as it was due calibration which is £109. Deffo buy 2nd hand if you can loads of people in the same position as me. If you are worried about a stolen one as for the SN call manufacturer and ask has it been reported stolen.

I heard Kane is a good analyser with cheap calibration so best look for one with the cheapest yearly cali. Hope this helped all the best
