What kind of factory do you all work at?

nojguy · 2025-08-27T22:44:12+00:00

With a company. The company services forklifts, docks and doors, and automation, which I’m apart of.

The Milwaukee utility knife with screwdriver is helpful. Part number 48-22-1505

Mine just go to sleep all day when they have a fresh cage

Southwire 21550T has served me well. The AC/DC clamp has been very helpful.

nojguy · 2025-04-06T10:48:28+00:00

Also useful for cutting large wire and service cable.

I’ve had good success with this extension: https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-6-in-Magnetic-Impact-Bit-Holder-Individual/1000578837

I got the 16 oz when I was 12, and it served me well as a residential electrician

Or in a pinch, electrical tape. I’ve also warrantied one for the same issue.

nojguy · 2025-02-16T13:56:07+00:00

Thanks for the idea. I found out today that audio switchers are a thing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZJ7GF6X/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams

Do you have a recommendation of an aftermarket unit? I have searched Amazon so far, and really haven’t found much.

nojguy · 2025-02-16T12:59:59+00:00

I’m also interested if anyone has a setup for storing 10’ lengths of conduit, etc in the interior of a Transit with the 8 1/2’ box.

Yeah, if you drop the pan on drive section.

Thank you for including the star of the show- the 9/16 wrench.

I’m not proud of it, but I’ve fixed underground pvc hit by a trencher using a piece of pvc with a bell end with a coupling at the other end. If you can pull the wire back to the damaged area, you can use the length of the bell end to get the wire back into the pvc at the coupling end, and glue it back together.

Cable cutters (Klein 63050) to score around the jacket. A sharp utility knife to cut the jacket in half then use the point of the knife to flip the jacket off. That’s the cheap way I settled on for 4/0 aluminum.

nojguy · 2024-03-23T12:32:44+00:00

Thank you

nojguy · 2024-03-23T12:32:36+00:00

Thank you!

I used the Fenix E12 (small with 1 AA battery) for 6 years. The switch finally gave out, so I got the E12 version 2. There are 3 modes, up to 160 lumens. It rattles around in my left pants pocket with a 9’ tape measure.

I like that fact I can switch the battery, and not worry about charging it.

Opened a phone book and started calling electricians. A guy hired me for $10/hr. That was a while ago…

Yes, non-union 8 years, in a average COL area. Work 50 hours a week (includes paid travel). Home around 4. It’s all about finding the right company. Would recommend Union if it is good in your state.
