it's time for another electrician's challenge it's always great to lure people up here to line
side studios who are behind some of the products that are really driving this industry forward it
is my pleasure to introduce Damien Eden who is the professional partner manager for Ring
hello ah so damien great we could uh we could finally lure you up here to take on a long drive
it's a long drive but it's but it's been worth it and check out the other video we have made with
ring where we explore some of the fantastic products that you're bringing to market
um but you're an electrician by by trade yeah yeah many years ago yeah how long how long have
you been off the tools now seven years i'd say seven years quite a while and you've moved into
smart tech now so why why did you go off the tools and into yeah i think it's it's a really exciting
uh opportunity and and sector with loads of opportunities to like expand and learn
so that was sort of the main reason why we needed a bit of excitement away from putting in cables
yeah as you'll see he's not very good at putting in cables we're about to watch the challenge and
find out how he got on so let's see how he got on with the challenge ding-dong damien's off yeah
you're right it's doing the sensible thing here not a lot of people don't do your prep work yeah
start at the top you're screwdriving and you're standing up everybody seems to drop that socket
first do the three screws in there then go down so it's pretty quick so it's clearly adept with a
screwdriver so i think again sometimes we get hood wings carrying we do i think it's uh yeah look at
the speed of those hands is spinning those screws around this could be a surprisingly fast time
we'll see so again this is his best attempt of three so we're gonna back these screws out you
notice all we've done at the moment is have that screwdriver in the hand so we're doing everything
with the one tool before we move on so now we're on to not put that screwdriver it's down now
and are in for the cables so let's just see here that's so good he's going for the twist we all say
spend a lot of time on the twist just relaxing into it yeah a little bit of tape and again he
brought his own tools he was a bit sneaky when he turned up all relaxed but then when we mentioned
the challenge and notice he popped all his own tools out keeping that the straightening it works
every time this works every time without fail you straighten the cable and it just slides up
the tube know it no problem at all you watch this yeah apart from this time yeah yep it's got stuck
it's got stuck again that straightening technique works every time here we go
what i always say is don't straighten the cables because if you do that it never works
in the tube and this is the fourth attempt now so he's finally got out of it through
wow this is his best time there's some recovery here though that
was quick around the second bend and this can be a bit tricky yeah when he's peering in there
he's recovered that incredibly well he's chuckling himself as he's done it as well
look at that smile on the face i'd like to suggest he's got one of the cheekiest smiles along with
ross sands that have ever done the challenge they've got that little smirk in the corners
a little cheeky did you see that bit of cable that insulation fly off there gary yeah it seemed that
you managed to deflect it off your head every time he did that the cable hits me in the face yeah so
next time i'm doing this the top tip i'm going to find out and i'm going to wear safety glasses next
time yeah i think so so he's in so we're we're only only two connections away from the board so
we'll be down at that sockeye he's pretty rapid isn't it look at that yeah a cheeky grin holding
it back there again he's off yeah he's adept with a screwdriver he is and then we're down
so apparently he's always home as well he is according to a shirt well that's a reflection
of the times we live in these days and obviously that's done well for video based doorbell systems
the fact that everyone home and even when they're not at home they can appear as if
they're at home they can so never miss a parcel from that well-known online retailer that offers
next day delivery because you're always at home even when you're not 100 and if you've
got a subscription you get it for free do you is that how it works so you have to pay for the
subscription another one flying off there those insulation slugs flying across the room so he's
actually only now what four connections well if we get the screwdriver four connections away from
finishing yeah he's in that intense concentration or he's dropped to his knees now he's quick so
two cp sees him he's hammering them in there yeah this is this is a good time and again
what a nice gentleman damien was what a great it was to spend some time with him weren't it as well
so here we go two connections yep screws are in in the right place right to put them in one to go
neutrals in so two screws are on the top still they're both there can they see one
oh yeah they are not screwdriver in the mouth yeah absolutely now this is another good top tip
you put one screw in okay as you normally do and on the second one you actually start to stand up
as you're screwing it in you watch this so what's the first one you're going to like this tip so all
right he's going to be on the move in a minute so he knows he's got to get up so he's coming up here
he comes wait wait wait wait okay start the screw right now you know that's going round
so damn that that looked pretty relaxed actually in there yes i've still got some skills i think
yeah i mean it was we normally say if it looks slow it usually is but we might have to change
that tonight so looking across at the leaderboard where where would you like to be or where's your
ambition i've just got to be above erin haven't i i can't be that slow surely no no well that's it
we'll we'll find out so damien eden you did the electrician's challenge in
four minutes and seven the fastest person in the four so that puts you above peter wayne
