[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 438586, member: 9512"] Yes they should, however it is a waste of time reporting them no-one has the money to chase them. The device does not comply with BS EN ISO 13850:2015. I've tried to get Amazon to sort similar out and I'm currently on to Trading Standards to sort out illegal product sold by Amazon, trouble is, there is no will, because there is no money, and these companies are just too powerful. I have reported dodgy product to Screwfix, also, and they do nothing, too powerful to be bothered. A friend of mine has reported dodgy compliance to RS, nothing has been done, however, he did get a concerned response which is more than Screwfix have done. The issue is because these companies consider themselves above the law, and, have no idea about product compliance, and the laws around it. Along with the market surveillance authorities not having the resources to manage it. 8A is more than enough for the power tools you are using, but, I said, that I would personally over engineer it, to carry greater than the possible maximum current. I'm not sure I understand your last paragraph. [/QUOTE]
