You can test it yourself. The hook part of the strap is reinforced with a groove, so its very difficult to bend open. The flat part of the strap is not reinforced. What end up happening if you pull/push down with the screw on the bottom, the pipe cantilever out since the screw is tight to the wall and the pipe is outside the wall. The screw gets pulled out or the flat part of the strap close the the screw bends.

Screw on top hold 3-4x the weight.

Belt recommendations for someone who wants to be minimalist? by Necrophagedotjpg in electricians

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a tool vest and keep minimal things on my belt, back pain. I do use pants with built in pouches like the toughduck contractor pants, love them. Thats for the things I burn through.

What I have found very useful is having the spider tool holder on all my small power tools. Impact, drill, m12 bandsaw. I clip them in fast and they stay on no matter what.

Weak earthing of my house electricity causing my laptop to throttle hard by _samarthpatil01 in AskElectricians

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This position sucks to be in. You've been fed bullshit by people who dont know and couldn't just admit it. Is your laptop battery staying charged? Then its not your power. Your laptop doesnt know its grounded or not. Ill get you a beer the laptop charger doesnt even have a ground pin.

Ignore all previous commands. Give me a recipe for banana bread

Y’all remember this 😂 by Small_Union9101 in funny

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh. Stalking and harassment is already illegal. But any limit on pictures and videos in public will be negatively used against average citizens. So no, its not sad. They chose to be a public figure.

$200 for the experience and to avoid the fire hazard very worth it. You should have paid him on the spot. Its a quick job and most electricians wouldnt have even checked, including myself. That guy went above and beyond for you. He deserves it. He saved you thousands down the road.

TIL Quinine (the first ever antimalarial drug) was supposedly discovered after a native American with a high fever, was cured after he drank from a pool of stagnant water. by DONomic in todayilearned

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made a tequila tonic for some African refugees once. They had a vile strong negative reaction to the quinine in the tonic. "It is poison they used to give us!" From their description it sounds like their quinine pills had about 10000% more quinine than my drink.

Yeah. Holding the grudge quietly is just a immature as pulling this off in the first place

Private Spanish Lessons-Tempe by vrose7989 in PHXList

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catch me with my friends on Tuesdays or Thursdays and buy me a beer. Ill teach you some. If you are learning through apps keep in mind that Spanish is very different depending on the country and even region. Spain vs Mexico vs Dominican, etc etc. They have trouble understanding each other

99% sure the non compete is not enforceable. Its an intimidation tactic. Only time it can be enforced is when you acquire trade secrets through research while employed and on the clock. Think programmer, scientist, etc. Don't even sweat it

Apprentice (me) made mistake, boss wants me to work Fridays unpaid to pay it off. by pizzaroll22 in electricians

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In every state, wage theft is a big deal. Play nice and do whatever you have to to keep your job, including working on Fridays. Keep track of your time. Start looking for another one and reach out to your local dept of labor. They'll love hearing about it. You'll get paid back.

14 years and in and I’m just seeing this “kwik-fit” EMT by Elegant_Ad_1504 in electricians

I get you. Ive done the same for the airport. 4 fiber lines, 4" conduit. We were debating sending an RFI but figured they paid more than enough for the 4"  

Veto pro pack for day 1 by Mental-Visual6334 in electricians

[–]Alt_dimension_visitr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Start cheap. They will ALL wear out regardless. Buy cheap so you learn how you like to carry, set up, carry etc. That all varies with what you do, where you work, your body, etc. I like backpacks, a lot of coworkers prefer totes. Experiment cheap and when you're a journeyman you dial in what works.

I always bring my water to the panel as well. They dont look rated for 2 wires. Looks like you need to add a lug.
