Have you looked at hydraulic?

I use the Milwaukee. It is rechargeable and the battery can be charged outside of the light if you get the holder. That way you can swap a fresh battery in. Also, that battery is used in many other items. Too bad they don’t really market that feature. The headlamp likes to pop off the...

:bowdown::bowdown: Yeah, you are gonna fit right in with us. Holy -expletive- man, nice garage. Jeez I really have to finally finish ...uh start mine:sad:

Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a black wire going into the right neutral bus bar underneath the 2 reds:wtf:

Was there maybe a light switch here before?

Is this a wet location? What size breaker and what size FMC. I don’t have the 2014 NEC but whoever does may need those questions answered. For 2020 NEC, can’t be a wet location, 20 amp or smaller circuit, 1 1/4 or smaller, and you can use it for a grounding conductor if total FMC is under 6...

:spit:

I agree with this. That is why I like capstans. The OP should look into at least a pulley system. I have pulled more wire than I care to admit. For the bigger stuff, we always use a pulling basket, a swivel, and bull line. Never once had a problem. For the smaller stuff, a rolling hitch, a...

I like the way you work :thumbup: Funny how it seems to always go smoothly when a lot of knowledge and a little foresight are involved. If it is in the ground (direct-bury, pvc, concrete, Tesla tunnel, ninja turtle’s home), I will only use copper. For me- aluminum only goes above ground...

:thumbup: I would do this and pull in one bundle using a capstan.

Exactly. When the ends are made up, the concentric neutrals are connected usually connected to the bracket that is holding them up. The brackets I am familiar with- we call fan brackets. That bracket is grounded to the pole ground that travels down the pole and is joined in to a ground rod...

You obviously take care of your stuff. Don’t use carb cleaner or any thing else. As a a former detailer- I would 3M adhesive remover with a clean microfiber towel after a thorough wash and clay mitt session.

Re: How to test a deck Very impressive. I personally love how it is enclosed. Awesome work as usual.

Yup. This is spot on. If you are not comfortable doing it, maybe a friend or neighbor has experience exposing utilities. It isn’t rocket science but there is a technique to it. Really depends on the soil and if the utility put sand on top on the gas line. No guarantee there is sand on top...

Sorry- I thought all the pics were the original poster. I am on a small phone and it is rather tricky to read the screen names. So yeah disregard like 80% of my post:lol_hitti It is hard to see if the 3 aerial transformers feed anything on my tiny screen. You have a nice set-up. So I take...

Yup. Was probably a lally column that was removed. Then someone wised up. Is there living space above- I assume so. If so, this is probably smack dab in the middle. You can’t know for sure with out looking above or looking at the house plans. But if it- it can be removed. But it’s gonna...

These are aerial transformers. The top lines are primary voltage- 13kv probably. These transformers look like the are only feeding the secondary lines underneath. Probably 120/240 or something else. These do not feed your neighborhood. You are fed at a riser pole that has terminators. The...

That big box outside the shop def looks like a 3 phase transformer.

Maybe with Rupes does this hold true, but if you are talking about any polisher than no way. A rotary tool will burn paint if you leave it on the edge to long. This is because the paint is thinner on the edges. If the OP wants an orbital that will not burn the paint, I highly recommend a...

Are the transformers on the pole? Usually underground distribution has pad-mounted transformers on the lawns every maybe 6 houses. If you see green boxes about waist high, you have single phase. You can use 2 single phase transformers to make 3 phase, but I doubt they would do this for a...
