For the record. I bought a saw out of the back of a truck one day that was missing all sorts including the reunions and the table. I ended up making the trunions out of some good hardwood and the table out of some 1 inch thick melamine. Works for me.

Do you want to sell me one and shop it to Canada

Definitely repair the underground cable. Underground repairs happen every day of every year. Unless there are underlying issues it's a waste of money to dig a whole new cable.

All of our tools are built out of the same plastic.

Do you want a real life test. Go get a 40w incandescent bulb and put it between the measured wires. 40v should be enough for it to glow. Spoiler alert......it won't.

I have had up to 4 ST01's running in my place at one time or another. Batteries last a long time. A neutral wire is not required.

Good grounding and bonding should be able to prevent all but extreme cases. Nothing can mitigate the problems that come from those freak incidents

Define wrong.

My understanding of bonding/grounding of receptacles in Canada was first applied to kitchen plugs. They had to be grounded but nothing else. I don't recall if I have ever seen a unbonded stove plug in Canada. Typically I don't see much before WW2 so that could be the reason.

Put all of the mercury in a jar and give it to your local high school science teacher.

Microwaves do that when they are at the end of their life. If it has a regular 15a cord end then it doesn't need anything other than a 15a circuit

I have 930 ft and I use a 40000 but. We get the real cold from time to time and I have no problems keeping temp.

Interesting to hear about others experience in trades. In got on with an electrical contractor through a family friend. Not that it was nepotism or a favour or anything like that. I was just one of the few young kids around that could possibly work for him. In Canada we have a (mostly)...

I use these every day to cut anything from cat3 to 10/2 nmd to fixture wire . My current pair is a number of years old and still working well. I usually lose them before I wear them out.

I don't think any amount of bonding/grounding will protect from a close lighting strike.
