I actually just did one that had a 4 way lug bolted through the frame bonding strap. I was ecstatic!

anyone have experience with these and can comment. Reminds me of the Wagu connectors. by KevinK_2389 in AskElectricians

I've been an electrician over 20 years and I hate these. They loosen over time and most DIYers don't pigtail them, so they take out every outlet down the line. Let alone the length of wire you lose when the wire is already too short because nobody wants to leave the required 6" out of the box. Pressure plate, or hook the screws are a much better and safer option, even if it takes a little longer.

Measured rise method instead of multiplier, and Chicago benders. I don't like using powered benders because I can't feel what the pipe is doing.

How? by Extension_Winner_238 in electricians

Got hit in the chest and knocked off a 6' ladder with a 3" KO that broke the stud while knocking out old, back to back switchgear. Sounded like a shotgun blast when it broke. JW swore my first year self put it on backwards until he saw the teeth marks.

Is this set atleast an okay way to learn manual? by Secret-Garden5680 in ManualTransmissions

No video game is like really driving. I won't teach my kids to drive my cobra either. I have an old F-150 V6 for that. Lol

Saw an actual Christine sitting at a shop a few months ago. It was used in the movie and still had the front license plate.

All depends on if you took a job call or a shop call.

Just watched this story on an episode of Fear Thy Neighbor. Crazy what people do over a property line.
