Would you re-use 'used' RCBO's / other item's too??

Tomgunn
Hi, just wondering whether it's prudent to re-use 'used' RCBO's, RCD's, fuses etc like; MCB's, switches, DSO's, SWA's, CCU's and the rest?


What do you think and... what electrical items have you re-used, if any?


Regards... Tom

    I have to emphasize that I'm not using any 're-used' items... I haven't been doing any electrical works for the past couple of years' as I am having treatment for a bad illness - or TWO! It's doubtful that I will be doing any further works, for a while, sadly!


    I was at a car-boot fair, a week or so ago, and this 'electrician' was selling off used parts, (and part reels of cable etc), and I asked him if he ever re-used electrical parts, or not? I haven't ever done this and he said he has... and with no problems. 


    I WOULDN'T... buy anything like that anyway... I was just wondered what your thoughts were and, I agree! 


    regards... Tom
