Hey everyone, I'm looking for a weatherhead that can be attached to two inch rigid that has conductors in it already. Does such a thing exist?

I've had them to forget to send out a tool pre Covid. They've got good customer service, but it's far from perfect.

No apprentice, let alone someone who hasn't even started an apprenticeship, should be working in live panels.

I think that may be the issue. I know that people have had issues with 1/4" Snap Ons and Gearwrench. I've personally had issues with a 1/4" Armstrong 88 tooth and a Craftsman 60 tooth. I think it may just have to do with such small parts.

I'd just contact the organization you plan to do your apprenticeship through and ask for a tool list if they have one. If it's union there will very likely be a tool list. If it's nonunion they may not. Go from there. Work on getting everything on that list. Klein is well regarded in the...

Just picked up a set, but I already love them.

That 24" 1/2" Gearwrench ratchet is probably my best tool purchase of 2019.

100% where I stand with the SK sets. They're so close to being a great option, but they just can't seem to listen to the people who have been saying this. You're absolutely right about reviews like these not taking into account how the tool will be used being a problem. However, I think part...

I agree with this. This would help alleviate the prybar storage if using a standard 26" roller chest. https://sunextools.com/products/large-locking-screwdriverpry-bar-holder-for-service-cart-red/

I'd love to see wrenches that have flex zero degree offset boxends on one side and a flex ratcheting zero degree offset (similar to the Mountain wrenches) on the other. Standard and long pattern.

I've never gotten anything but scam replies from a WTB ad.

Just to clarify. Does this mean if you buy one of the items you get the other or does this mean that if you buy an item you get another of the same item?

At no point were you asked for a citation to prove that many people in this trade are lazy. Save the strawman arguments. You were asked for a citation that showed that people as a whole are lazy. When you couldn't do that you changed your position to most people. You were then asked for a...

I said I lived outside the Rocky Mountains for two decades not that I lived outside the Rocky Mountains two decades ago. For someone who derides an entire species for being lazy and not researching you seem to do it a lot yourself. You won't take the time to read my comment until you actually...

That wasn't my experience in the two decades I lived outside of the Rocky Mountains. Have you considered that maybe you just surround yourself with unskilled, lazy people and that's skewed your point of view?

*Citation needed.

No, I haven't seen any evidence that everyone these days is lazy.

I was taught to put one hours worth of pay a week towards tools. It didn't necessarily mean buy a new tool weekly or even monthly. It just meant have that money set aside so that you can buy a tool you need when you need it or can buy a more niche tool that helps with your work. You may not be...

They all have the potential for a broken pin, but some are definitely stronger than the others. Matco and Snap on both make good flex heads and can sometimes be found for cheap on the used marker with a little gumption and luck. The Gearwrench flex heads are great too and aren't expensive...
