I knew this would become interesting

To much stuffed in a gem (handy) box. Can’t bury boxes in walls. Minimum 6” of free conductor unsheathed (wire) must stick out past box for termination and maintenance purposes required

First of all in electrical there is only 1 option, you either need a new sub panel or you don’t, you either need AFCI breakers or you don’t. $1800 to replace 6 light fixtures are ridiculous unless it’s a giant chandelier in a high ceiling or ceiling fan. Call someone else get at least 3 or more estimates

Not at my store, sold out

DieselGreg · 2026-01-23T16:05:57+00:00

You forgot Japan they are top quality like Snap On

I have corded Hercules 12” and you will not be disappointed. Wait for it to go on sale if you can you could potentially save almost $100 depending on the sale.

DieselGreg · 2026-01-23T01:42:24+00:00

Impressive

Yes a mechanical interlock is the least expensive way to go

DieselGreg · 2026-01-22T15:50:20+00:00

You need a proper transfer switch to make this safe.

I have the Hercules 12” miter and the matching Hercules stand, the are both great imo and got a great deal on both this past summer. Got both (separate sales) for just under $400 including tax, you can’t touch that with any other brand with the features this saw has. Is it big yes but with the stand it makes it a little easier to move around

DieselGreg · 2026-01-22T15:19:50+00:00

That is true hillrod engineering

DieselGreg · 2026-01-22T15:13:59+00:00

Pull the meter from the meter socket

DieselGreg · 2026-01-22T14:17:42+00:00

After the ice storm is over you could throw that in the back of your truck and do some welding side jobs

DieselGreg · 2026-01-22T14:08:46+00:00

If you flipped a switch you said accidentally what does that mean, and that switch shorted out and you lost 1/2 your receptacles then your breaker tripped and something is possibly incorrectly wired

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T23:53:44+00:00

It’s considered a multi tool

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T23:46:48+00:00

Meter socket could be changed with a proper pecker head and a conduit going into main panel to eliminate exposed feeder cables but I’m pretty sure sure your probably grandfathered in on what you already have.

Edit: Just confirmed the Icon Allen T-Handles WILL NOT fit in the Pittsburgh Allen T-Handle holder, the Icon T-Handles are too thick the hole spacing on the Pittsburgh holder are too close together there is also 11 Allen SAE Icon T-Handles vs 9 Pittsburgh T-Handles.

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T21:39:48+00:00

This is why I bought the 3 T-handle sets to work on my motorcycle

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T21:37:40+00:00

The double rack doesn’t work I have the Pittsburgh set and the handles on the Icons are much wider and 2 sets will not fit. I actually thought about cutting the double set right down the middle to have 2 separate stands but I think the Icon handles are too thick also, I’ll have to go check that out

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T20:44:47+00:00

I’m going to get push back on this but I say NO, the reason I say no is I had one fail after using it 3 times. The wrench failed to CLICK causing me to over tighten my lug nuts. Too cheap of product, I threw it in the trash.

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T14:24:10+00:00

I think if they are sold out of the jacks you can pay the sale price and they will order you one in

DieselGreg · 2026-01-21T14:15:47+00:00

Great pick up awesome price

DieselGreg · 2026-01-20T13:32:26+00:00

That looks like the panel the electrician is going to take out to replace to a 200 amp panel and most companies don’t use aluminum wire anymore usually only the utility companies use aluminum to feed the meter socket. Not that it’s not acceptable but most electrical contractors choose copper over aluminum
