    Have Maplin opened in Blackpool shopping centre yet? They have a premises there, but I haven't seen it open any time I've been there - but then again it's always been late in the evening when I'm there (often after 6pm)

    There's a good tool shop on Oliver Plunket St towards the Grand Parade end - that's a possibility.

    Chip electronics in Ballincollig? I got a pretty decent toolkit from there not so long ago that has an anti-static strap in it.

    Maplins opened today in Blackpool. A bit OTT on some of the prices out there but there are very few places in cork that do some the stuff they do.\

    Very handy.

    I've always used a 6ft length of 30Amp wire attached to the earth pin of a plug.

    Wrap one end round your wrist & plug it in.....just make sure you know how to wire a plug !! :eek:

    Is that the same chip electronics at hollyhill?

    yeah same place, they just moved their over the counter sales apparently..

    I think it was around 25 quid or something like that. Theres a few up there to choose from, I think mine was kinda mid-range
