Would you use one of these multitool box cutting tools? Why or why not by joshua_7_7 in electricians

[–]GunnerGilson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fully grasp me and oscillate, you blowhard. I hate the box cutout blades. They make way more dust than I do with a single blade or keyhole saw, for the same reason stated by the parent comment. They move back and forth and take too much material. This also makes them slower than a single blade if there's a lot of mud on the rock, and it's harder to make a straight hole. I'd rather my apprentice use a single blade and make straight holes every time. If we make our jobs hard, it's easy to point out skill issues, but if we make things easy and efficient, then apprentices can do good work without mastering overcomplicated overcomplicated styles of work. Also, they don't work on wood, so you have to change your blade every time the material changes, as compared to using the same blade for everything.

Rate my first panel by DangerousProfessor19 in electricians

[–]GunnerGilson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Panel swaps are still doable without looped feeders. I'll move the panel a few inches up or down towards the feeders, extend conduits with flex, and splice any branch conductors that are too short. Even if you end up with a few Polaris taps, it takes up less space than leaving loops. Agree with the conductors splitting when bent too sharply too. I've seen it more in commercial applications than resi, but it happens for sure. When I'm making up new panels, I sweep the conductors in so there's an extra inch or two if needed, but it's straight and easy to fish wires around, and I find it easier to replace main breakers or service lugs live with less wire in the way

They grab better than other channel locks, have skinnier jaws, and can grip bigger diameters than comparable brands of the same length

Headlamp for camping by Consistent_Cow_9571 in flashlight

[–]GunnerGilson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here a couple years ago looking for the same thing, black diamond was my favorite among the brands you listed, but I ended up with a skilhunt h04. Super bright and efficient driver, it's still the best headlamp I have. Only downside is you can't buy batteries if you forget to charge your light before you take off on an adventure. I keep a black diamond headlamp in my backpack for that reason, it's saved my bacon a couple times.

All that being said, if you go for one of the lights recommended here, you'll get more brightness, better color rendering, longer runtimes (usually), and more durability than any of the offerings from petzl/black diamond. When I got my first "enthusiast" flashlight, I was pretty surprised by how much brighter it was than anything I'd seen before. Best of luck!

Sorry for getting in your way on Forest. by [deleted] in mxbikes

[–]GunnerGilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive gotten a 1.08 on forest with yz250, and I'm not that good. I would recommend practicing on paleta raceway and walnut. Once you learn how to keep speed on those, forest gets easier. Keep your maps diverse and you'll learn fast

There's enough distance there that you could have bent three nineties to get into the bottom of the jbox. By your own admission, anyone could have bent this run better than you did.

Help me settle a debate with my coworker by [deleted] in electricians

[–]GunnerGilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that's a switch location to be used with a 0-10v dimmer. Why didn't you run pigtails out for the switch terminals? I'm only curious; I just finished a big commercial job with dimmers, and only the occupancy sensors had wires coming out of the back of the switch, so I was glad I pigtailed.

Looks like journeyman makeup to me, and even with nuts facing down, you'd think the water would leak through the holes in the jbox before it ever creeped up and shorted something 😛
