We use concrete anchors of different breeds quite a lot. One thing I've noticed is Tapcons do better with a hole drilled with a hammer drill instead of a rotary hammer. You said you're using SDS bits? Normally a rotary hammer bit. Try the Bosch hammerdrill bits and see if it helps

Ride a lot of them, hope you got it cheap. They are expensive to fix.

Buy what feels good in your hand brand not withstanding I use Knipex every day, smooth action, feel good. Fnsane

Knipex. Puts Klein to shame

Check the conductor size. My tired old eyes don't see 200 amp rated wire but do see 200 amp fuses

Best for the $$. I've used one for years. Every now and then buy a new set of probes is about all you need. Fnsane

+1000000000 on that. I use them everyday and Knipex is the best. It is smoothe and easy on tired old arthritic hands. I am fixing to be 67 and usually work 6 days a week. If I tell you a tool is good to go, you can take it to the bank. Fnsane

Guys, you use the 60 degree table below 1/0. above 1/0 use the 75 degree table. You only use the 90 degree table to derate. Kevin, you are in SC. Correct?? I just happen to be a licensed General Contractor and Electrical Contractor in SC and several other states. I realize these forums...

I had 2 makitas on a service truck, my help tried their best, defaced them but could not break them. got new parts from website, rebuilt them, look like ****, run sweet. They are good stuff.

RKRA70FMA is the part number for the repair kit for a FM70. You can get a list of all ratchet repair kits from the Snap-On site which gives the proper repair kit and a pdf of instructions for installation. Hope this helps, worked for me. Fnsane

Picked up one of the 44" HF boxes, started to load and noticed it doesn't roll as I would like. Rolls ok, but not as I would like. Any suggestions or ideas you guys have tried to upgrade??? Fnsane

My post of Sept 10 stands, I suggest anyone who needs help with their electrical system seek professional help. More specifically a licensed, insured contractor who is familiar with local regulations and the servicing utility. As far as my comments, I should have never opened my mouth.

LIcensed electrical contractor, licensed general contractor, industrial and heavy commercial stuff.

You gentlemen are exactly right. I should not be participating in this forum. There is too much liability involved. Thanks for getting my head straight.
