    As an electrician this video hits home so well...
    No charged batteries, dull drill bits, mistreating ladders, lineman pliers are an essential beating tool, Brian is just great.

      Is it a thing within reach? Then it's a hammer.

      Can confirm, lineman's are an electricians hammer. Never met an electrician who has an actual hammer.

      Personally I question why people still install their wires bare in houses in Canada or in general in certain countries. Majority of the early electrical fires in Sweden was due bare insulated wire in walls. Now days, the wires may melt and flame. But the fire is contained in the PVC piping... Well, we don't use PVC anymore since it is toxic when burnt. But we still call it PVC.
      As for the internet connection tool he was using. We stopped using those connectors. Because it requires a tool for an effective install.

I don't know about wiring standards in Sweden, but in the US pre-1980s, a lot of homes used copper clad aluminum conductors, which were prone to cracking and breaking when bent around corners. A cracked or broken wire=intermittent contact=increased resistance=fire. Couple that with people cramming pennies into fuse boxes and it's no wonder so many old homes have burned down due to electrical fires.

This is origin getting thrashed by a channel but regardless of that not lashing out and stop sponsoring any LTT content for giving a bad review and still giving sponsorships in spite of that bad review.

Its against best practice because many cable manufacturers believe the paint can degrade the porous outer jackets of the cable and negatively impact performance. Generally cables that fail certification due to paint won't have their warranty honored. I also wouldn't hammer staples into twisted pair cables. I prefer using cable straps like what Arlington sells for data stuff.

    I can explain the drills. First, they're bought as a set. You buy more than one at once. More importantly, impacts are your bread and butter. They're for removing and inserting screws. You'd be amazed how often you do that when you work on a house. It's a good idea to have two impact guns at any given time, because you and another person can work at the same time. Another reason is that there are different types of screws in a house. You can have an impact with a square bit and one with a phillips. You don't have to swap out bits all the time. As for drills, they're used to make holes. A cordless drill is very convenient and will work for most light jobs. Some tasks require a ton of drilling, though, and you will run through batteries and heat up your drill if you abuse your cordless for them. That's why you need a powerful corded drill. It's not over-compensating at all. Also, we all have dull paddle bits. It comes with the territory. Your new bit will be like that in a couple more holes. And, yes, everything is potentially a hammer. And, yes, we have all left things on top of ladders that inevitably fall on our heads. I actually kind of occasionally still do that. Bad habits are hard to break and all that.

      The 6 inch loop is so that when you service the receptacle or device wiring, you have wire you can pull through into the box if you have to clip ends to avoid having fractured wire. You can't leave it in the box due to box fill requirements which keep the receptacle or device from pressing into the wire and creating short risks and electrical hazards like tight wire bends which cause resistance and heat.
      tl;dr: it's to stop fire and shock hazards.

    • @OmniBaddie
      @OmniBaddie 5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      As an electrician in the US we have the National Electrical Code to follow in addition to individual state minimum requirements. Local code trumps the minimums set by the NEC. The NEC is written by the NFPA here in America. In a typical residential environment (Or wood stud environment) we use ROMEX which I assume is similar to LUMEX. Romex is sheathed on the outside in addition to insulation for the copper. As long as the person installing the wire knows what they are doing (The wire doesnt suffer from damage, and the conductors are properly grounded and wired to a device) there is a very large chance everything will be safe. However failures can occur within the device or if a home owner say fucks with the system normally installed. In a commercial environment which is where a majority of my work comes into play, we use a different type of wire in most cases and a different type of stud. Metal studs with MC wire. MC (Metal Clad) is our normal colored insulated conductors protected by a metal sheathing. This generally provides more protection than romex and can take more of a beating (It takes more than a razor knife to fuck up MC). A big difference from the two here is fire protection IS EVERYTHING IN MOST COMMERCIAL WORK. Drywall, insulation, and even the boxes we mount need to protect against fires. Usually if you are an apprentice coming into the trade here you are given a big fucking bucket of fire stop and sent around the building to fire stop holes. We also have fire stop patches for electrical boxes to prevent air from one room feeding another room that has a fire. As long as its a competent licensed journeyman doing the work in America, it wont go up in flames. And if it does this is why companies pay for insurance.
