Ok looks like consensus is 1-1-1-3, individual wire in conduit the entire run from main panel to sub panel. I'll be using 1.5" PVC considering what EMT costs. Using this I know they have dedicated I-beam clamps for this, and I feel better having the clamp on the PVC rather than the jacket of the...

ok but back to the original question. what would i use to attach the SER to the I-beam?

yes sorry. SER cable. hmmm only good to 90 amps. pehaps i need 1/0? OK and then i just conduit on the walls. sounds good. anyone confirm the 1/0 alum amps? thank you

Hey gang. I need to run 150' of 2-2-2-4 romex/ structured cabl, to a 100 amp subpanel. I know it can't go in conduit. It will be running along steel I-beam 20' up, to a surface mount subpanel about 6' off the floor. What type of clamps would I use to attach the wire to the I-beam? And when it...

Extech, sold through Sears and other outlets.

Got ya, thanks Buck.

Yes I'm aware that the HF is same as Victor. I ***-um-ed that the Lincoln would have that. But opened the box, and looked at everything and saw Harris. Well I have to get the tanks filled tomorrow anyway, so I'll see what they have as far as Harris. Like I said they look good, great feel to the...

Alrighty then, I'll go back to Lowes and see what they have. I did find their website, so I can direct order if I need to. Thank you

There have been some stories in the news lately about used prices being at an all time high. This is good for us. Yes interest rates are low right now IF you have clean credit. Unfortunatly the economy has ruined that for a lot of people. As stated try to stay away from salvage vehicles unless...

Pittsburg line wrench sets in metric and SAE. FAIL Pry bar set pass flat ratchet FAIL 7/16" first use. I do have lots of other HF items that work well though. I do agree lack of consistantcy is an issue.

Well actually that patina was driving me nuts. I do like the patina'd look for some things, but not so much for the boxes. If it was just peeling paint, or faded i could have lived with it, but the whole rust thing was making me angry. Especially in the drawers. My Dad gave me the top center box...

If you have a smaller paint store around you they usually have a house brand. I went to Sherwin Williams and used their house brand oil based enamel. I was looking to do the same thing, based off the "$50 paint job" I ended up using a custom color that I found on of their spray cans, had them...
