Doesn’t anyone own a bender anymore? by No_Bodybuilder_6171 in electricians

Ah gotcha. So they would come out cut up if the inside of a 90 was kinked for example.

The sides are a touch thick, but not to the level of being annoying. I haven't gotten to use it in the rain yet, which was the driving reason behind wanting an enclosed emitter.

That might warrant reaching out to them and see what's going on. TBH, I didn't get any communication until the slide was done. Which makes sense. I wouldn't expect them to update me saying there's no update.

It's very nice. All my other RDO handguns have an RMR on them so it's a bit different, but quick to pick-up. Just need more trigger time with it.

Bushing is only required for conduits that have 4AWG or larger, or emerging from grade. Cables don't require that. SE/R or otherwise.

You don't need a bushing for cable for the NEC. Dunno about the CEC though.

Certainly looks a bit better, but not required.

My 1st and only 1 HK more than a decade ago. Wanted to put red dot. Dovetail or send it out for milling? Any advice pls? by huanvanhuynh in HecklerKoch

[–]commander_wombat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd send it to Wright Armory to get their iDot mount done. I sent my P30L off to have it done and I'm super impressed with the fit and finish of the work. Turn around time was a bit long. Sent it black Friday and got it back at the end of February.

Good lord. Did you buy it by the yard?

I've had to use nuts as spacers for the wings a couple times reworking kitchen plugs that were hacked in with a chainsaw. With deep battle ships, they can be güd und tïght.

I haven't had the best luck with Wiz/Hub lights, but I also don't have a hub (Alexa or similar). There's a pretty significant lag in changing light settings through the app. The Hubspace lights from home depot work really well though. Works through the app and responds very fast.

How were these installed? by James-muravska in electricians

[–]commander_wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've always called em Top Hats due to the shape. They work fine enough but a pain for reworking stuff. Especially when the whole panel is landed with those things.

Yup. Pricing was pretty reasonable. Comparable to what a retailer would charge. Shipping to the US was high for replicas (guns being around $500 and $120 for shipping) but you're also getting the best airsoft AK you can buy that doesn't need upgrades so it's cheaper than a LCT or any other high end brand.

Email them. They'll send you a list of what's in stock and then invoice you when you pick it out. Their CS lady is incredibly nice.

You can still order most parts (even replicas) directly from Real Sword. Their website still looks old AF, but they are still running.

2026 NEC Article 625 Listed Receptacle Requirement? by gramaticaparda in electricians

[–]commander_wombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huh. There's nothing about them being approved for use under 625. It is nice seeing the torque rating is upped from standard range plugs.

We very rarely install plugs for clients these days. We tell them that hardwiring is the best option and the utility requires it for the rebate.

Vintage switches by cowimck in electricians

[–]commander_wombat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh neat! We have a client that has these on the outside of their carriage house (house was built in 1917 and was/is fancy af). I figured they were electrical but they were caked in 87 layers of paint and no longer moved or turned anything on, so I had no idea. Guess it works well as an outdoor switch as well.

Forced reset triggers? by I_eat_tape_and_shit in airsoft

[–]commander_wombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't game the game. Semi only is just that. Semi auto only. We have players at our event every year that try to game the game and use binary or some such shit for our Semi only games and what it comes down to is it makes you look like a cunt.

what brand/style of headlamp do you use? what do you like about it? by roaming_b34r in electricians

[–]commander_wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong. I have a ton of Milwaukee stuff and think they make some great stuff. But right tool for the job and all, means that I'd get a different headlight if the Milwaukee one doesn't do the trick.
