We use concrete anchors of different breeds quite a lot. One thing I've noticed is Tapcons do better with a hole drilled with a hammer drill instead of a rotary hammer. You said you're using SDS bits? Normally a rotary hammer bit. Try the Bosch hammerdrill bits and see if it helps

Ride a lot of them, hope you got it cheap. They are expensive to fix.

Buy what feels good in your hand brand not withstanding I use Knipex every day, smooth action, feel good. Fnsane

Knipex. Puts Klein to shame

Picked these up at local vegetable/fruit/junk store for $5.00. Good buy or trash? Fnsane

Check the conductor size. My tired old eyes don't see 200 amp rated wire but do see 200 amp fuses

Best for the $$. I've used one for years. Every now and then buy a new set of probes is about all you need. Fnsane

+1000000000 on that. I use them everyday and Knipex is the best. It is smoothe and easy on tired old arthritic hands. I am fixing to be 67 and usually work 6 days a week. If I tell you a tool is good to go, you can take it to the bank. Fnsane

See NEC 110.14(c)(1)(a)(1-4) and give us your comments. Thanks, fnsane

Enjoy electrocution.

Guys, you use the 60 degree table below 1/0. above 1/0 use the 75 degree table. You only use the 90 degree table to derate. Kevin, you are in SC. Correct?? I just happen to be a licensed General Contractor and Electrical Contractor in SC and several other states. I realize these forums...

What is your reference source for that? Fnsane

Why are you using 8awg for 50 amp circuit? Fnsane

I'm sort of confused here. You are using 8awg for a 50 amp circuit, is that correct? If so, what source tells you that is good to go? Fnsane

I had 2 makitas on a service truck, my help tried their best, defaced them but could not break them. got new parts from website, rebuilt them, look like ****, run sweet. They are good stuff.
