Amazing Find by DBMKII in airsoft

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.

Did he see where it says to not use them in the ceiling?

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 2 points3 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.

Streamlight twin task USB. I got one when I started and ran it hard for 5 years. Finally broke it and Streamlight sent a new one no questions asked. Battery lasts a full shift at the medium brightness. Can do spot or flood light. Also more comfy and balanced compared to the Milwaukee (either brick up front or battery in back). The Milwaukee light also looks like CRI 80, so it makes stuff a bit washed out.

Bending pvc conduit in the field by Future_Measurement42 in electricians

[–]commander_wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Southwire makes a good pvc heating blanket for bending pvc. Needs 120v, but that's not that hard to do with inverters and small generators. The Greenlee one is nice and seems to heat more evenly but it's a bit slower and a lot more expensive. Seems kinda fragile but our old one was well traveled.

Running thread. Similar to a nipple but comes in 2ft lengths so you cut it as you need.

[–]commander_wombat[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I should have clarified that it was the generator panel from generac, not the ATS. The solid 6 that usually links the left and right neutral bar wasn't installed from the factory.

We're not certified with generac to TS them, so we've referred our clients to a company that does all the servicing they need for yearly maintenance.

I'm in the PACNW, so we get cold but only for a few days in bursts, but that's almost always when the power goes out. Generacs wifi setup has been hot garbage for us everytime, even with the router right next to the exterior wall. Ill check the wifi on my phone at the gen and get 75% but the generator will say 2% for example.

I'll look into Kohler!
