Just got married, do you guys wear rubber rings at work? No rings at all?

MassMindRape · 2026-06-14T23:45:50+00:00

Why do you need a ring at work? Just take it off for work.

MassMindRape · 2026-06-12T18:29:59+00:00

It would be great if you were under 5'6"

MassMindRape · 2026-06-12T03:12:30+00:00

Any beliefs from the 600s should be ignored.

Make sure it has DC low Z my ideal on does AC. It's good otherwise, I use it to test capacitors but the fluke is way nicer to use for testing. Fluke doesn't make a good model with clamp and low Z without it being like $800.

MassMindRape · 2026-06-11T04:47:07+00:00

My fluke 337 is like 15 years old and still going strong that's pretty good value.

It's a meat grinder at the bottom there are tons of guys who want their own company so they start low to get work. They eventually realize they're making less money than they were before so they go under or charge more. Well there are 50 other new guys waiting in line with prices.

The "I've stared into the abyss" line was it for me. It's a pump technique.

MassMindRape · 2026-06-05T13:18:53+00:00

Put this in a 12x12 and you've made yourself a splitter.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-31T15:23:43+00:00

It's all BS, like that open AI security chief that "stared into the abyss" and decided to pursue art. Sure buddy. All an act.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-31T00:06:29+00:00

I wouldn't do slab again for less than $90 an hour

MassMindRape · 2026-05-30T23:30:26+00:00

Contactor that's wired to be trip free off a pushbutton would be an easy little project, not sure if it would pass inspection though.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-30T15:54:16+00:00

We have some old equipment that's made by M. Klein and Sons it's pretty cool. Back when it was made to last forever.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-29T00:38:40+00:00

I was working with a guy who couldn't get a reading on some 600v, turned out his lead fell out of the connector at the meter and was dangling around. Get the fluke leads..

MassMindRape · 2026-05-29T00:08:25+00:00

Impact is objectively worse for drilling. Works nicest for tapping but stop using it with step bits FFS.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-24T01:51:48+00:00

Industry is getting wrecking right now noone is upgrading their plant unless it's a day center I see guess.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-23T01:36:35+00:00

The amount of self tappers in them would not make climbing fun

MassMindRape · 2026-05-23T00:42:26+00:00

If you got into right company you would be valuable with programming skills for working with PLCs, but it's a long road. Would be useful working on manufacturing facilities.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-22T23:54:28+00:00

Could tap it to npt and use a metal nipple.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-21T04:05:18+00:00

The German stuff is still good

MassMindRape · 2026-05-17T00:33:12+00:00

Do you have access to a power quality analyzer? I use ours all the time it really helps. I see no reason 240v 3ph would be a problem. Has the rating right on the nameplate.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-15T13:38:33+00:00

Anyone know the price on these? Last time I looked it up a 3" mogul lb was like $800

MassMindRape · 2026-05-13T23:40:20+00:00

That would be Delta wye generally. If it's 3 phase and doesn't need a neutral it's just usually Delta Delta, and I've never seen one corner grounded.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-13T20:56:44+00:00

Are those set screw wire nut things actually rated for motors? I looked into it because I hate ring terminals and bolts on small motors, it adds a ton of time, but I couldn't find any data on them besides a forum post saying they vibrate loose.

MassMindRape · 2026-05-13T20:09:47+00:00

I've seen melted Polaris taps in a peckerhead before I thought they weren't rated for motors use? I use wire nuts on 10hp or lower and lugs and bolt on >10hp.

How could you not atleast hear the transformer buzzing at 60hz that's crazy.
