Breaking into a clients HOUSE.... | Thomas Nagy 

Don’t worry about less electrical. It’s interesting to see small bits of the working life of a small company CEO we do. Keep up the excellent work!

I worked at a tech startup that reminds me a lot of what you're building here. We had a well stocked kitchen and were taken well care of, never paid anywhere close to what a lot of people could earn elsewhere but people stayed for a long time and we attracted far better people than you could have reasonably expected because it was a good place to work and people actually cared about the employees. I think things like the Sainsburys shop will pay back far more than they ever cost you. Easy for it all to go wrong though when the "business people" come in with there spreadsheets and talk about cutting costs, be careful!

I've worked for a number of companies where not only do they not provide milk; you have to pay for hot drinks from a shitty Klix vending machine. Company I'm at now; selection of teas, coffees and cold drinks along with snacks and bits, there for everyone to help themselves. At least once a month we get taken out for lunch, or after work of an evening will go out for dinner and a couple drinks... Costs the firm money, but gestures like that mean a lot when everyone works their balls off.

It makes me really happy to see you taking care of your employees. Keep up the great work, Tom!

Tom: we have a gym, also Sainsbury’s don't have a single biscuit left

“If you look after your staff, they’ll look after your customers. It’s that simple.” Good show and wonderful boss ethics. Keep it up Tom

I've worked on streetlights for 7 years now, for doing lantern changes I wouldn't bother with using a grinder, we alway use a reciprocating saw. Don't need a hot works permit and in my eyes safer to use when 10m up in the air over a live lane.

Cool to have more of a day in the life content! Really enjoying content at the minute. Thanks tom and team

I absolutely agree with the NO MAIN INSIDE A SHOWER AREA rule...especially with the handheld sprayer...but even a fixed one...if it hits the top of the head it could spray up to the fan! Mind you I am in the US which only has 120VAC in bathroom connections...lights, fans & outlets...usually 15 to 20 amps per breaker...for the water area GFCI sockets. Those stools that squish flat are fricken' awesome...my folks & I got some to have at the Ren-Fair!

I have a vivaro E range it perfectly fine about 130 miles around town I have the 45kw battery, my van has all tools and plumbing equipment in it.

Love watching you grow your business and seeing all the day to day things that involves 🙂

The guy from the vivaro e forgot to tell u the 4 hours running the aircon sitting in van🤣

Your channel has evolved with your business and it shows in the content and amount of views your getting as soon as the vids are put out, love watching the overall picture and not just chasing walls and lifting boards 👏👏👏

Live what your doing. All the bits are important small to big. Keep sharing.

love to see where this guys come from and got to .. followed the journey from day 1. inspiration tbf

Love this style of content Tom:)

I like the random vlog style stuff. Keeps it interesting, varied content!

Great Video again Tom keep up the good work !! Love seeing the company grow :)

Find a local fella that works on cars as a hobby, there's a good chance they have the things to code the battery to the van. Shouldn't cost you much at all, it takes like 2 minutes. For reference, these things cost like £600, we have one. Hell I'd offer to do it for you for £10, but you're a good 180 miles away haha

Working for my company. I'm only supposed to have my own basic tools. The foreman is supposed to supply company tools for doing jobs. But, as someone that likes to be independent on the job. I have all my own tools like cordless roto hammer, bandsaw, drills, impact drivers, multi tool, grinder, pipe benders and all my own testing equipment. I feel that any individual that wants to be successful needs to have their own tools that they know how to use properly to do any job given in a safe and efficient manner.

It’s nice being a fly on the wall ~ really enjoying the uploads ~ keep up the good work guys.

Thanks Tom, bloody brilliant 👍

Great content wish you all the best in your business and kudos to treating your staff well.

Good video. Good to see you as the boss capable of doing everything. In time you will have people to do that for you. Onwards and upwards

Another great video has always Thomas

tom, bit of everything is good. showing folks how hard you work your ass off both with electrical and other stuff! keep going, your empire is coming! 😊 your doing a bril job mate!

Been a viewer for years mate and love the new content!! Keep up the good work 👏🏻 👍🏻

Love that you buy your employees food ,snacks tea , and coffee . Good for you Tom it’s the little things that will make your employees happy and want to work . YOU THE MAN !!! From Philadelphia Pa .

Nice one Tom, showing your caring, sharing human side is what it’s all about. Your personality does you great credit, looking forward to seeing you hiring two apprentices soon. They’ll be in for a treat. 👍🏽

love these kind of vids. keep up the good work

I realy enjoy these types of mixed vlogs. Even when tom goes shopping :)

NICE ONE TOM

Treating your staff as well as you do will pay dividends Tom, excellent to see

Totally agree with the fan Tom.

I have one of those expandable seats myself, it's one of the most useful items in my tool kit especially at my age (old!)

That collapsible chair can be set to different heights as well, I bought one after watching one of your previous videos, thanks for sharing, nice to pick up tips and ideas from across the pond

Great content Tom, keep up the good work.

Are you allowed to attach a trailer to the back of your highways van? Could be handy to carry all the signage and free space up inside

Don’t worry about the content Tom. I had to clear my van out and transport furniture and uni gear up to reading for the step kids, it’s life buddy😊 Keep up the work

Great viewing Tom.. Very interesting

I’ve been watching this channel for over a year now. I’m not an electrician however I love your business opinion and find you really enjoyable to watch. Keep it up.

Hi Tom,love your funny electrical dramas... 😂 Love from S.A.

When the camera guy scared him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣these videos are actually epic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shopping with Tom 😂👍

Great, I missed supermarket sweep this morning. All is good again. 🤣 👍

Another great video, really enjoying it keep it going really enjoying your company really interested in seeing how it is growing. Love the behind the scenes I wish that my company bought milk

Great video Tom. 😎

Wow i wish my boss did shopping, good job tom

Don’t make a shelf for inside the bucket use some 12” tray stand of brackets and get veto tool pouches they have belt clips you’ll be able to clip in and my dewalt drills have belt clips aswell to hook on keeps stuff of the floor and doesn’t take up much room in the bucket 👍

Great content keep it up

You are a good man, Tom -- a good boss. Look after your employees, and they will, on balance, look after you. Other things apart, you will feel better.

Tom I done highways work over here in Ireland (mostly traffic signals) in the past, the company (who are very big in the uk ) used a lone working device to get around the lone working issue its like a little pager with a sim card in it and you clip it onto your belt or something.

Great video. It'd be interesting to hear about the highways electrical training.

This content is great!

From what I've seen and read changing the battery can be done, you can buy a scanner on Amazon that will allow you to program the battery to the vehicle for about £60 should pay for itself the amount of batteries you seem to get through 😁

Jonson's baby powder for inside the gloves and leather gloves over the rubber gloves ... easy to remove and helps with the smell and sweat ... stops you getting pricked by a strand of live wire or sharp objects.

Love the IDGAF part 😂😂

I work for a big Uk shop that sounds like M&nS 😜 can’t take any food waste home not even bread, no little perks would definitely would love to work for a company that does the little things you do 😇 this isn’t any ordinary company, this is a Thomas Nagy company 😝

Interesting, enjoyed. Thanks, be well! 👍🍺

A great video,I like the “day in the life” style mix of what you do. Also nice to see you looking after your staff. If any of your customers have interesting jobs, would it be possible to have them on the videos - just a thought

Tom your an absolute star ⭐️ How anyone wouldn’t enjoy working for you 👍🏻 my company used to look after us but the they’ve cut back now so we’ve some unhappy employees 🥺 Love your videos cheers Stevie 😎

Good video and refreshing content. 😇😷

The best spark on RU-vid is backkkk

I would try fitting an extra leisure battery for your inverter, that may help the main battery.

London, Ontario in Canada also has a Hyde Park neighbourhood too.

Spoke to an openreach guy the other day local to me and he said the van was amazing. He did say if he used the dual carriageway to drive the 4 miles across town, the wind resistance on the ladders reduced the range. But driving through the town there was less wind resistance and loads of regen keeping the range high. The amount of ladders they carry, you’d loose range in a diesel.

Here in Ireland thats all we use, 2 row and 3 row boards (double and triple stack)

Personally I always watched the channel because it's fun. If people don't like it there are one or two other RU-vid channels to watch. Keep it coming, really enjoying the content. 👍

Tom, thanks for the Sainsburys shop, I now know where everything is now. wonder why they moved the biscuit aisle to the back. My last company provided everything then within 3 months they cut back massively because all the offices blew the annual food budget in less than 6 months. so went to the basics, milk/tea/coffee/sugar & weekly biscuits and fruits. new company it's just milk/coffee/tea/sugar and an outsourced vending machine.

The Bosch customer service is very good, and quick to respond to any problems, if you have a problem with a tool, they will send a courier to your home or job to pick it up and return it when it's done, I bought the 80 meter laser measure with a built in re chargeable lithium iron battery, does 25,000 measurements on one charge.

9:00 Get the diagnostic thing to replace the batteryv and a lifepo4 12V ("14,4V") battery - at least when they run out, their BMS will prevent them going totally empty.

Hi mate, as regards to extractor fan in bathroom zones as long as it has a minimum IP rating of IPX4 then no code is required. The same goes for an electric shower. Hope this helps.

I’ve been shopping at the same Sainsbury’s as a celebrity!

Going to the supermarket is a dreadful use of time. Whatever the delivery cost is it's going to be worth it.

Tom, I currently have a Vivaro E works van for British Gas and carry lots of electric and gas meters as well as all the kit. Easily get 150-160 miles off a full battery, average about 2.3-2.5m/kwh. Like all electrics, it depends on where you use them. In cities and towns you'll do more, on motorways you will most likely do fewer miles off a charge.

You should consider a Synology NAS with OpenVPN running on it so you can have a file server in the office for the job sheets and can access them when out the office too.

25:19 - Ludicrous speed! Go!

Great content, have you thought of replacing the Van battery with a Lithium one? it's more expensive but at least it will last longer.

When kitting out the truck don't forget to add an espresso machine.

Great video as always. It's fun to watch all aspects of the business. Not sure what camera you're using but mine has a 50Hz/60Hz setting, if I use the 50Hz setting it inhibits the flicker.

Insulated gloves and the visor requirements of ERG39 for working on the DNO cutouts

Your loyal followers Tom don't give a crap that your content has changed a bit, We still enjoy it if anything your sense of humor has gotten much better.

8:05 is this why I can't find toilet rolls at the supermarket 🤣🤣

The Vivaro and Trafic are no longer the same van, the Vivaro is based now on the Citroen Dispatch and Peugeot Expert, and I’m sure the electric portion of that Vivaro E is the same as what’s on the Peugeot 208.

Just a FIY, used a small 12v grinder - Milwaukee Cut Off tool - and from one sparkie to another, that thing is so handy it's gold! Cut armoured cable? Cool no worries. Cut a normal cable? Cool no worries. Cut a metal grill/mesh? Cool no worries. Cut cable tray, Unistrut (when it's just a 1 off cut, or a very small task)? Cool no worries. Also a quick question: you have any reviews on the Bosch 12v range? I have Milwaukee, but they're ridiculously expensive and I don't fancy the price tag every time I need to replace them.

You literally make me want to work for you and I’m a fully qualified spark. I’ve never seen anybody look after his men like this in my puff

Never broken into a clients house but I've had to climb out the window of an empty ground floor flat for a housing association as the front door wouldn't open from the inside to get out after doing what was a period inspection back then (Eicr) as the lock had failed.

Not sure if a fold flat traffic cone would conform to regulations, but given how you showed the bucket truck van body filled with signs it may be an idea to gain a wee bit of space back in the rear of the van.

The normal mayo was next to the other mayo 🤣🤣🤣

MSA V GUARD 950 is what we use in germoney ;)

When I was a MEWP engineer it was always policy to have an emergency decent plan and procedure to inform your work mates that your needing help if stuck in air ... normally it was your work mates whom made it happen .... yeah nice when your 185ft full stick in a 24mpg breeze ... well it had to be checked and wanted for tomorrow But yeah .... Niftylift sold as talking alarm ( probably sourced from RS components) " warning operator needs assistance " maybe you need to fit something like that ? Suppose it all depends on how your emergency decent works on and can it be operated from the basket and can your jack legs be reset from basket and if your carrying too much equipment in the basket for the machine to alarm and freeze and lock out Two ex work mates got killed on mewps a operator driver I knew well had a near miss and lost a bollock hanging from the basket as the pivot pin sheared and only hydraulic pipes and electric cables keeping him suspended till help arrived to get him down .... I had a near miss with a new machine that was sent out faulty or should I say the parameters had been altered somehow on a laptop ? .... so yeah found a better safer job Best advice is always check your machine before use and do safety ground checks / function tests before stepping in that basket to work don't forget always clip on and wear your harness outside of your jacket / coat ... no good keeping your safety cord warm ... yeah and hang your harness on a hook when not in use don't throw it on the floor it needs a daily check too BE SAFE Can see another laminate been made .... in case of emergency crib sheet for side of van at ground level as someone might need to help one day clear safety instructions emergency lowering procedure etc maybe attach them to a road sign near the van ?

Watching you shopping in Sainsburys and loading up the trolley is more fun to watch then you doing electrical work! Keep it up Tom!!

Tom. What is your template for risk assessments. If you could point me in the right direction. Content is fabulous. Really enjoying it.

Regarding the range with the Vivaro e I would say how you drive it can affect the range. The only you’ll find out is to try one for a month with your driving style.

loving these videos tom! the best sparky channel on youtube for sure,

Re: Van battery situation. It might be advisable to look at the Carly OBD dongle, I think you are able to code a new battery yourself with them.

I prefer seeing other side of your job especially shopping

That's not a Renault Trafic. After 2020 It's an Citroen Jumpy / Peugeot Expert. After PSA took over Opel/Vauxhall.

Enjoyable yet again but why did you have to climb out and into the EICR flat did you not have a key

What a top employer. I’ve always wondered if these sorts of actions would come and bite me in the ass having my employees start taking the piss and getting too used to the “good life”. You certainly look after your staff Mate. Maybe I’ll have to come over and join the Nagy Group! Hah
