    Ez2wire

    Very wordy.... Sounds like it was written by AI and narrated by computer generated voice. I clicked the FF button a few times then clicked away. The product could be the best thing since sliced bread but most people will never know..... because the video is unwatchable. lol.

    Knipex 16-20-50 Folding Knife (good or bad)? Questions and comments

    I agree.... It's not designed to be a life-long, hand-me-down, multi generational tool. It's the Knipex version of a disposable knife. Buy it and use it until it breaks, gets too dull to use, or you lose it, then buy another one..... Repeat.

    Do I need return duct?

    If the mechanical room is also going to be conditioned, you COULD simply install a "transfer air grill" in the wall between the mechanical room and shop so it can **** air from the shop into the mechanical room, and then into the air handler. It's just a vent that allows air to flow freely...

    Are consumer grade SLA battery-based jump starters now obsolete?

    Are consumer grade SLA battery-based jump starters now obsolete? No. Not at all. Those big and heavy SLA battery jump starter units (like the JNC660) are still used all over the the USA every day by mechanics, auto auctions, car dealers, tow truck drivers, roadside assistance guys, etc...

    Freon sensors on new systems?

    No.... R-12 production was banned in 1995-96. (not 87) All existing R-12 inventory can legally be sold (with proper license) and used in the USA. Once it's gone, it's gone. It wasn't that long ago (maybe 5 years) that I could still buy recycled R-12 in 30 pound tanks from my local Napa. I have...

    Electrical outlets that work fine but plugs are tight to remove

    I can send you some of my old worn outlets in exchange for your newer tighter outlets. As far as I'm concerned, the tighter the better. And yes, I'm still talking about electrical outlets. lolol.

    Local utility coop sent out wiring insurance offer. Why are they doing that???

    I would totally turn the tables on them.... I'd call the coop and let them know that SOMEONE is using their information in a slimy scam. I'd tell them it's sooo slimy that it HAS to be a scam. "There's no way our local coop, that has been part of your community for X years/decades, would ever...

    Does a Hobart 210 MVP need a 3 or 4 wire outlet?

    I wired my 50 amp welding outlets with #6 THHN...... But this was 20+ years ago so it was much cheaper back then. lol. Those same 50 amp welding outlets that I installed 20+ years ago are in locations that would be PERFECT for EV chargers, today. All the wiring in my shop is in surface...

    Sparky labor rate

    There's always an exception to every rule. lol It doesn't surprise me.... why would a service writer at a large dealership care if the shop uses the customers oil.... it won't affect his pay check. lolol.

    Charging station area?

    A friend of mine had something similar setup in his home garage. He works for himself and works in that garage all day, every day. Something happened with one of the chargers in his charging station and started a fire in the middle of the night. It burnt down his entire garage and his entire...

    Sparky labor rate

    If the electrician is your buddy, then by all means go buy your own parts.... If you're hiring a professional electrician that you have no other relationship with, I highly doubt they will allow you to buy your own parts. It's like having your car repaired at a professional repair shop...

    Best Bi-Directional Control Scanner for a Buick 3800 V6

    Scanners don't TELL you why anything is broken.... They simply provide data that the user (human) can use to diagnose what the problem is. Buy an 808 series Autel. I will do whatever you need it to do.

    Hydraulic Flaring tool questions....

    I am wondering if anyone has had a chance to try the new hydraulic flaring tool from Harbor Freight? I am wondering how it compares to the Mastercool flaring tool? I received an email today with a 20% off coupon and a list of new tools they are now selling. One of the new tools is a hydraulic...

    Do breakers break?

    As for the original topic of this thread: Yes, breakers can go bad.... or even be defective when they're new. When I installed my generator interlock device I purchased a brand new Siemens 30 amp two pole breaker from Menards. Once everything was installed I connected my generator to be sure...

    RV power run

    My advice: I would use the right size breaker and wire for the amperage required in the RV. If you're not capable of doing the project correctly, then I recommend hiring a professional electrician. Don't skimp on projects, especially electrical projects. If a project is worth doing...
