I wouldn't do that, you'll pickle your liver and then the forum might lose you, and nobody would want that.

Got one, it's rubbish. Doesn't grip properly due to roofers shallow slot.
Can't help those who don't want help. Our guys swear by them on the M6 roofing bolts. I will put up and shut up as you are the all knowing.Got one, it's rubbish. Doesn't grip properly due to roofers shallow slot.
'I'll shut up because you disagreed with me.' Cool story brosephCan't help those who don't want help. Our guys swear by them on the M6 roofing bolts. I will put up and shut up as you are the all knowing.

Course you are chicken
Yeah like i said, 85. Rubbish pension, sit on here all day being a waffle.Some people on here already know how old I am.
You are manly because you drink beer.Some people on here already know how old I am.
Anyhow, off for some more beer now. Proper stuff though. Hopefully somebody else will keep you entertained.
Oh jeez he's still here. Mod's - he's trying to get banned because he is bored. I'd just do it to be honest. Doesn't the forum have an over 18s rule? He can't be more than 18 surely, so get him on that one.
Anyone know what caused the toys to be flung out of the pram this time?
That would have been me. No idea why an earnest statement would provoke such a reaction, but I guess it's not worth worrying about.Presumably someone mentioned apprenticeships. Seems to be his area of expertise.
As it happens, that's exactly what I'm doingDon't waste your neurons trying to understand these things... it's Friday... drink beer
Only reason I can think of for their popularity is price. Function certainly can't be a consideration.Roofing bolts are really poor, especially the cheap ones found at the wholesalers with the 0.5mm thick square nuts. Easyfix roofing bolts are much better as the heads have deeper slots and the square nuts are much thicker. Stainless slotted screws are superior though. Flange nut the other side means one hand tightening. I don't know why roofing bolts are so popular for tray work, they don't suit the task very well at all!

Don't put 2x2" trunking on the roof.
I like the look of that, but could be a pain in 2x2" trunking.
Armeg do something similar but it’s 1/4 hex and impact driver rated so can be used with an extension.
I’ve also found that 12 point sockets fit the square nuts so I can also put them on with a socket, ratchet spanner or impact driver/drill rather than with a 10mm/11mm open ended spanner. 12 point socket size varies with the nut 12mm/13mm/14mm.
I'd say everyone has knowledge gaps in their area of electrical workall i was saying really is that I bet there are some of the regulars on here that are really wanting to ask things at times but would not do so on here because they fear it will ruin their reputation
