    Milwaukee vs. DeWalt “Winter” glove comparo

    Looks like they were both made in the same PRC factory, maybe some different cuff color and pattern depending on the run that day. I would assume similar results.

    How to hide these wires on the wall?

    If you have attic access to that area, just run them in the wall. or just expose about 1' of them above the door, and tuck them in the door trim when you finish that. Id do the same with what looks like sprinkler wire.
