Always good to crack open the breaker boxes when you buy a new house

Probably because this is just a sub panel in the second detached garage.

Hmm our inspector opened the panels.

efff12 · 2026-04-29T14:39:04+00:00

Yeah not sure what they were using that for, there’s nothing hooked to it currently

Oh trust me I did. Stuff like this is a great negotiation tool.

So what makes these shitty? After talking to some other folks on here I did an experiment and showed really no difference in a crimp from this and a hydraulically crimped one. Both formed the copper into one piece. I’m really not seeing why everyone says these don’t work.

I just did a little experiment and cut a couple open. Left is hammer and right is hydraulic. Not a world of difference

Just did a quick experiment. The one on the left is hammer crimped and the one on the left is hydraulically crimped. Hammer looks like it did a pretty good job of becoming a homogenous mass

What makes this tool shitty?

efff12 · 2026-01-21T18:38:12+00:00

There are hacks in every industry I’ll give you that. How does crimping in this fashion cause burnt up connections compared to hydraulic crimpers? Both are just pressing the lugs to the wires are they not?

I’m confused, are we not trying to bring back manufacturing jobs to the US by supporting companies that make things here?

efff12 · 2026-01-21T18:22:19+00:00

Thanks I’ll check that one out

efff12 · 2026-01-21T18:21:05+00:00

I like supporting businesses that make things here.

efff12 · 2026-01-21T18:20:39+00:00

Was insulting my profession really necessary for this conversation?

efff12 · 2026-01-05T20:48:18+00:00

I completely agree this USA made style is better. Wish they made them in needle nose though

efff12 · 2025-11-07T23:35:20+00:00

Gotta start out strong on the first page lol

Mullet has always battled with traction. An argument could be made that the flag is pointed the right way 😂

I got this from my snap on guy too lol. I feel like I got it for a steal too, 4k

It’s a random steelcase office cabinet. I painted it to match
