    Harry Epstein's day 2018?

    I hope the 3pc Craftsman Pro pliers set is on sale again this year. Even at $40 its a steal, those Craftsman Professional dykes are as good as good as Klein for less then half the money. https://www.harryepstein.com/index.php/3-piece-craftsman-professional-pliers-set.html

    Harry Epstein's day 2018?

    Id definitely be picking up the Norseman Step Bit set for that price if I didn’t already have a set. I’ve been using them at work as an electrician for about two years now and they have held up much better than similar step drills from Klein, Milwaukee, Irwin....etc

    Outlet boxes in Plaster walls

    If the box is mounted to a wall stud you can sometimes drive a screw directly through the side of the metal box into the stud to tighten it up. Another option is to completely remove the old box and install a new “old work” box, if you are careful you can get away with an oversized “goof plate”...

    Led fixture, how suseptible are they to power surge/lightening strikes?

    Hello! Would you call this a "thin walled" socket?

    You're comparing an impact socket to a standard chrome socket. Impact sockets are made to be used with power tools and chrome sockets are meant to be used on hand tools. The impact socket will almost always have thicker walls since it has to be much stronger.

    Recommend good electrical tape

    +1 The main difference I've found between the cheap tape and expensive tape is that the cheap stuff doesn't hold up well in the heat and cold. In the heat it tends to get all sticky and messy and in the cold it gets stiff doesn't stick. My father retired from Con Edison about 7-8 years ago and...

    2017 Epstein's Day?

    I picked up the 3pc Craftsman Professional pliers set which I'm extremely happy with but my favorite item in the box was the WW2 bomb tether! I have to admit I had no idea what it was until I spent about 20min searching the HJE website.
