"Fluxuator" electrical tool for fluxing pipes
Anyone seen the adverts for this in Installer magazine? It reminds me of the Betterware hammer that had a hollow handle and dispensed the nails to make driving nails a one-handed job. Which I also didn't buy.

"Fully modulating" combi boilers.
What are these? Are most combi's fully modulating? Looking at possible shower valves for a replacement for a customer who has a combi (can't remember the brand/model) and many seem to be suitable for combi's which are fully modulating. Thanks
