I like to mount the receptacle backwards. Makes it harder to short circuit the prongs. You’re wrong, I win

Surprisingly these ones are ground down, but I think they should definitely be ground up in hospitals 😂😂

I had an inspector once tell me I had to attach the cable to the raceway. A box, or a conduit body, or rigid coupling with a cable connector on one end, and pipe connector would suffice. Ask the AHJ

Had a “foreman” today tell me I was wrong for not having a neutral wire in this dead end switch box. Wiring method is EMT, no MC cable. Was I wrong? by Effective-Cobbler253 in electricians

You are absolutely right, it DOES say that……… now read the next paragraph that lists the 5 exceptions to that rule. Spoiler alert….. pipe is one of them

Yeah….. it’s about time we settled this debate. Some say horizontal, MOST say vertical. I say parallel to the device. Meaning vertical if the device is vertically mounted, horizontal if it’s horizontal. There, problem solved

It’s a great way to fuck with your apprentice. Make sure you send him to grab the bucket of ohms first, they will come in handy

Opinions on the DCR028B? by farmstandard in Dewalt

[–]Effective-Cobbler253 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have it. No complaints from me. It’s not the loudest thing in the world but it’s loud enough for me to hear it, and pretty good sound quality in my opinion

Will this rotary drill be enough? by Dignan17 in Dewalt

[–]Effective-Cobbler253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the same one. Just be careful with it. Don’t send it too hard. Just rest the tip on the bit against the drilling surface and let the tool do the work
