    When installing wire nuts pre-twist or no?

    Yes I plan to, a couple have already been done before I was here, I am going around doing the ones that clearly feel wrong. Later on when I have more free time (probably this winter) I will do all the others. I fear all the outlets are wired in a similar fashion with the same type of boxes...

    When installing wire nuts pre-twist or no?

    Yes it is copper and I must not have explained good enough. All four whites together, all four bare wires together and the black hot and downstream feed with two pig tails, 3 nuts containing 4 wires each. I will work on some pictures.

    When installing wire nuts pre-twist or no?

    I recently moved in to a house that needs some light switches replaced and I have never really had any experience in home wiring. The house is a 25 year old modular so basicly a really really fancy double wide sitting on foundation. The light switches are the rocker style and many do not even...

    New Snap-On Modis Ultra

    My boss is looking at getting one of these. Right now my driver has a good deal. He can get this for $500 off, another $750 off for setting up an account. Free European also. Same deal applies to a solus ultra only it would be only $300 for setting up account. It comes down to 1800 difference...

    Flexzilla Garden Hose?

    Thats what we have in our wash bay at work. It gets a lot of use. Even with all the loops that build up in it from going around cars and back and forth and what not even when pulled it has never kinked on me. I would have to say its an amazing hose and on days I end up washing cars it would be...

    X2 I have a milton in every vehicle and two in my box have had them all for roughly 8 years. It is really hard to go wrong with theirs.

    CAT Tools

    I see what you are saying. I think the SO ones on the Ebay listing are just the new style slip joint with the 3 positions. The ones on the cat site seem to be the older SO slip joints and look identical to mine. My slip joint was the only one out of my set to be black oxide. Edit: Just noticed...

    I hadn't either. Never even heard of a gyroscopic screwdriver. :dunno: Its neat how it work. No matter what position you are holding it when you pull the triger that is zero and twisting it right and left make it go in forward and reverse. The more you twist is the faster it goes. I will have...

    CAT Tools

    From the picture in the PDF they sure look like SO to me, case, cardboard and all. The locking pliers below them definitely are. And if I am thinking correctly SO ones are rebranded gripons

    Our local S&W had a huge sale today. All tools from any brand were 30-60% off. Picked up this gyroscopic screwdriver for only $89, plus the bit kit was free with it. Couldn't pass it up for that price, also got a few other misc. items. Its a little strange to operate but seems to work very...

    Utility knives

    x2 I used to carry the sheffield's and tried various others. I love this milwaukee. You just push the button and it "free hinges" allowing you to flip it open very easy with one hand. The push button retention thing is recessed into the handle when closed so there is no chance of it dropping the...

    lets see some SO classic 60's

    I had one for almost 9 years and loved it. I just recently traded it off for a 96 for more space. I got it the same way you are getting yours. I never had any problems with it at all. Great starter box.

    Streamlight DS Led

    Agreed, the tailcap switch is pointless. One heck of a terrific light though. No need for the DS is all.

    I imagine all the drivers set their own price to some extent. I paid $243. You still got a pretty darn good deal. That's still over 200 off retail!

    It a special they have going on for a few weeks. 2 different BOGO items each week one on the power tool side one on the hand tool side. From what I understood he could only sell 5 at that price, you can put your name in ahead on the future weeks if you want and pay when it hits. He signs up 6...
