Got this set of Bonney line wrenches off Ebay Have been looking for a set of snap on in this same style and ran across these for a good deal. Will probably get a set of metric snap on some day

Don't know much about it but have it's brother. Got it at the Portland swap meet years ago for $25

#2 wire? For the ground on a 30amp load? Maybe I am not following what you are getting at with that. And yes it has everything to do with the connections and not so much the conduit itself. I know it is code compliant to use it as the EGC but I was taught otherwise. Just something that has...

I would not be so sure. Most emt installed indoors would be using set srew connectors and couplings I would say a solid properly sized EGC would be a much better choice. I would never use emt conduit as an EGC just for the fact of how easy it can be pulled apart at joints accidentally. Ridgid...

Blaming all the issues in the panel on the electrician from 1973 is like all the problems with your car is from the mechanic that worked on it 40+ years ago. Granted the panel was messy but the neutral wire not landed and some of the other issues were probably caused from some idiot not knowing...

If you ever need anymore breakers for your panel get ahold of these guys. https://oregonbreakers.com/ They test and recertify electrical switch gear and components. I have used them for years and have a good friend that works there. They have tons of breakers some NOS others used and tested.

Picked this up to replace my noname 3/8 flex head. Ptoto J5257F.

Weld pieces of unistrut on the inside and use strut straps.

Re: New grips for old linesmans When I was an apprentice I had a journeyman that would take all of his brand new Klein pliers or cutters and strip off the handles and put the replacement ones on He liked them better. I always thought it was weird but when you use them every day you need to be...

Blade is on the wrong side.

The price difference is probably just the bells and whistles. The better leads etc. I used a mismatched set of old greenlee tone generator and Ideal probe my Dad passed down to me for years until I found a fluke for a good deal so either one should work fine. You do know these are designed for...

Thats why I use red tape. Sets me apart from those million Bubbas :scared:

They're not that hard to make. You could even cut threads on the end and use a acorn nut for a more finished look. Klein makes all sorts of gimmicky stuff they should make one of these. I know they would sell especially to electricians.

They don't. That is a custom made chuck key out of an old Phillips screwdriver. The shaft fit the chuck key perfectly and I just welded a nut to the end to keep it on there. Before I got my M18 hole hawg with the quick chuck it was all regular chucks on hole hawg drills and it is nice to get a...

Here's my Klein collection. There are some duplicates of the stuff I use every day. Once it gets some wear on it I will get new and send the old stuff to the backup toolbox or garage. Picked up the new linesman pliers and strippers on a clearance deal at the parts house just good stuff to have...
