[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 584628, member: 175057"] Regarding ladders, get what you feel comfortable with, both in reach and weight. I have a set of Youngman trade triple section ladders 13 rungs per ladder, equivalent to the 12 rung modern version, mine are slightly closer together and slightly wider. I'm looking for a second set (I gave my narrower set of Youngmans to my brother in law), but want them with section locks which mine don't have. I bought an extending roof ladder, as I was finding that my single was too short for many rooves, they are however quite heavy to manoeuvre. Don't skimp on your drill, I have a Bosch GBH and love it, this one has been going for around eight years and still works well, my very first drill (Atlas Copco) was horribly under powered and I needed to upgrade after a year or so. Safety harness and ladder fixing kit can be bought as a package from wholesalers like Alltrade, or direct from one of the safety companies. The meter is probably the most crucial piece of kit, worth spending some money on, although even if you buy a budget model to start off with, they normally have a reasonable second hand value. Do you plan to do aerials as well? If you do, then to buy a meter with terrestrial digital capabilities takes you up to another level. Oops too slow, was trying to do three things at the same time, Paul beat me to the tape.:) [/QUOTE]
