All of the suggestions about using machinery to pull should come with some warnings/advice. If you are pulling with a machine that cannot instantly stop you risk damaging the wire, or worse, a person if something goes awry. It is very easy to get a finger or hand pulled into the conduit if you...

I'm gonna go with the Wen 24" ruler. Right to left on the bottom edge, fanastic durability and accuracy, easy to read, beveled edge for accurate marking, already has a hole for hanging. https://www.homedepot.com/p/WEN-24-in-Measuring-Ruler-With-Hook-Stop-ME824R/328669035 The hook stop is...

Professional medium voltage splicer says 33+ ( unless you are doing high temperature work then 88+ ).

All tools break. I break a lot of tools. Knipex is just more expensive to replace, though I personally believe they are amongst the more difficult to break. It does "seem" like all of the pictured breaks are tip pressure breaks, to make up a term for it. Grabbing something with the very tip of...

Many trade unions began because of unsafe working conditions, so safety isn't really new. OSHA is a result of a 1970 law - so even that is more than 50 years old. You will always run into folks who either don't know better, or 'know better' than them there safety guys. Mix in a healthy amount...

I would hire this out. If you have never wandered down this particular rabbit hole, I present Drain Cleaning Australia.

Is it all the things you plug in, or is it a particular appliance or two? There is a possibility, if this is a recent occurrence and the receptacles are 25 years old, especially in a damp environment like a kitchen, that the receptacles themselves have corroded or worn in some way. You could...

That actually looks like it would be perfect for the light pole base nuts I struggled with last year. Small hand hole in the pole down to 4 nuts in the flared bases. We ended up using wobbles extensions and universals, some duct tape and a lot of four letter words. Well, except we would need...

Sorry for your loss. I went through this recently with fellow who was hoarding computer equipment and other 'good stuff'. I wish I had some helpful advice, but in my case the most painless way for the family was recycling, scraping and dumping, tearing the bandaid off so to speak. They likely...

They come up in model trains of all things. These should be a match at least. 50 pairs for $20ish https://www.ebay.com/itm/255448659372 Try searching on SM2.54 4Pin for alternatives - Amazon seems to have lots of 'kit' versions available, as well as alibaba.

I'm in, but if I win give it to FuelFC, lurking for 14 years has gotta get you something!

How about a 1/4" swivel and a long extension? May not be as strong as a breaker bar but should do the trick. Kolbalt has a swivel extension that is not in stock... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-1-4-in-Swivel-head/5002208481

I have used the above method, but usually I just crimp a fork on the stranded wire. Cheap and fast.

I personally put receptacles in ground down. I do not believe there is any code on receptacle orientation. If you are concerned about the space inside the box, you can put both of the sets of wires onto the screw terminals. I don't like backstabbing anything. However, if you are pigtailing...

Easy, Doghouse Decks. Just getting started. They really don't care, they are not gonna audit you and the very very very worst that can happen is they say no. Just make it easy for them to say yes and give you the discount.

Nothing really, except you will get additional advertising sent your way. If the 'tracker' sells your information you will get that advertising from lots of other places. If the databases are really good the advertisers will be able to put everyone in your household together and really focus...

Get the batteries rebuilt and then drop it off at restore. If you are going to donate it, don't leave the dead batteries in there, that is just a tease to the next fellow.

So those of us who bake.... Get several thermometers ( or just one and move it around as you experiment ) and leave them inside the oven so you can see the reading from the closed door. Most super markets and department stores will have them cheap enough. Any kitchen oven will have hot and...

I have a variety of channel locks ( curved, v and straight jawed in various sizes ) and normally carry a pair of 14" aluminum pipe wrenches, an 8" steel pipe wrench and if I feel the urge, pairs of 24", 36" and 48" pipe wrenches ( various metals ). I have one pair of sandvik 12" swedish style...
