Anthropomorphucked. I paid my electrician to sign the papers and let me do my own work on a building once rather than use his own guys. Basically just showed up and took a cheque, and told me to flip my receptacles around so they look like happy faces. I was like, naw, I like them the way they were supposed to be installed. He said it wouldn't pass inspection. I wasn't sure if he was a hat-fucker but I did give him some suggestions before rotating them in the entire building.
I install all mine ground side up and have not heard a thing from the inspectors, but if I've learned one thing, it's that electrical inspectors are random as frig. Hell we have a county nearby where a buddy does house restoration, and they have two electrical inspectors that have mutually contradictory personal preferences. If you do it exactly the way one of them wants, the other one won't pass you, and vice versa.
When the standards don't agree the solution is to make another standard, no?
Its common in larger commercial installs for them to be ground pin up. But almost all residential is ground down, and most light commercial as well. If it wont pass inspection, find a new inspector.
These ground pins are a rather recent innovation (1960's or so). How did you tell if it was upside down before then?
Whenever we did residential, we went ground up. But yeah, no doubt that it's all up to how big the stick is in the inspector's dark hole and just how important he feels like being on any given day.

Ever try to use a DMM on one of those, "Baby Proof", outlets? try it some time!!!
".. her membrane.. her outer covering... skin." - You sir are an alien and I claim my $5.
His attempt at our language is commendable.
As somebody already mentioned: reason for the autolock is for the user can remove the sanding sheet from the drum sander attachment and put a new one on. Also the wire clip is not holding down the PCBA, there are ribs for that in the cover housing. The leg is just holding the distance from the panel. The brush holders also supported by ribs in both housing shells.
The Canadian Electrical code (CSA C22.2) doesn't specify which way is "up" on a standard 120 V receptacle. Hospitals often specify that the ground pin is "up" because they use metal outlet covers which have been known to lose their retaining screw and fall down only a plug.
due diligence, ground plug up?
I work in a hospital and the ground pins are all down! I've heard 2 philosophies: Ground pin up keeps things from shorting out across the leads. Conversely, having the ground pin down is more stable and less likely to fall out.
thanks for the brain wrinkle =]
without bragging about it, none of the pins can be contacted on a "security contact plug" (Schutzkontaktstecker) the germans use while being contacted to line, zero and ground
The hospital I used to work in the white plugs (non critical, if the power goes out there is a power interruption for the ups to kick in, .5 to 1 second) were ground down and the red plugs (critical power which draws off the UPS constantly so there is no interruption) was ground up. I'm honestly not sure why.
Love to see a comparison between a Bosch green (home-gamer) tool against their blue (professional) series. Maybe compare their psr against the gsr drill, and find out what justifies the blue colour and throbbing rights.
The main difference between the green and the blue is the blue is double the price to cover claims under the doubled warranty. I've always said green is just fine if the person using the tool is the person who paid for it. Blue is for if you're letting the hired help use them and might need to claim on the warranty.
A friend uses the Bosch Blue (Pro Line) heavily since years at work and had no complains. Must be reasonably skookum.
Except that the innards of the Green and Blue line of tools actually are different. Well, at least they used to be, haven't checked the more recent stuff. Then again I've always had the worst luck with Bosch drills, but always the best luck with Bosch grinders.
+ColtaineCrows Yeah some of the innards are different sometimes (I did say the 'main difference...') but not a lot IME. I'm using a Bosch green cordless drill at the moment, a PSR 18 LI-2 (but a blue grinder because it was on sale) and the drill's been flawless for a couple of years now. It's a joy to use, sits in the hand nicely, is rigid as hell and has the grunt to tweak my wrist if I'm not careful. The blue grinder has a plastic cover for the gearbox and started leaking lubricant from the first week of use.
Over here in Europe, Bosch green competes with Black&Decker, and basically they are the most prominent A-brands when it comes to consumer tools. Below is the utter crap, above is the prosumer/pro market. Bosch blue belongs to the latter. No point in comparing Bosch green and blue... despite carrying the same brand, they are different animals.
the angle of the drums side dangles makes me think the sprag clutch is for twistin the sand paper tube off.
oooooo good call!
I’ll bet you’re right .
Hmm. IDK looks like at 21:02 that drum adapter just spins on spindle, doesn't seem to be affixed by the clutch.
You'd have to spin it the other way to get it off. The clutch may either have some hysteresis and not always engage, or it may only lock-up in the off direction.
Could be to stop the back thrust when you stop the tool, like the overrunning clutch on a diesel engine alternator?
4:20 With the European plug type (CEE 7/16 "Europlug", and at least also the German CEE 7/4 "Schuko"), that problem is solved by having the outlet recessed into the wall by a little more than the length of the prongs, and having about the half of the prongs that is closer to the plug body isolated - that way, you never have any live metal parts exposed during any moment of the plug being plugged in.
I am surprised you don't have a hacked together NEMA 240 plug to European outlet extension cord yet
he already have a nema 6-50r for is welder
8 amp rated tool, 50 amp breaker? What could go wrong?
James Tomblin Ive never conzidered that a real risk. Plug sub ampere accessories into 15 amp recep. All the time. I'd just use a surge barrrr
50amp at 240volts?!! I thought you guys used them for Dryers, not Welders! Mean while - you can put a lower fuse in the middle somewhere :) I wonder how a RCD would work on 60Hz?
30A 4 wire for dryers, 50A 3 wire for most welders. But code gets crazy for multiple welders on the same circuit.
I have one of these, the reason for the one way rotation lock is because there is an attachment for hard rollers, where you slide an abrasive tube onto a rubber mandrel. the mandrel is grooved with a slant such that if you rotate it against the locking direction it goes on/off easy, but if you perform work it grips the abrasive tube on the mandrel.
So instead of banging your gorilla palm onto a squishy paper tube, you put it on the tool and smartly rotate it in place.
5am in London and I am just about to put my weary head to my pillow for some well earned sleep and I spy another glorious production from the Empire of Dirt... looks like sleeping will have to wait!
Thanks, man! I asked an ESA inspector and he said upside-downing the outlet was not required by code. I have been searching for a reason for decades.
I think the best way, for evolutionary purposes, is to install them sideways, live up.
"Never drink the bottom, that's where The Hangover lives" :)))
That's where the yeast usually settles to, that's why. Expired yeast isn't particularly useful to the human body unless you believe all the people eating yeast for nutrition.
The aluminium effect you were looking for was brußhed. Used to do it with wire wool for straight grain, and random orbital pad sander for a more subtle grain
I never thought the outlet was a cute face, more like a slightly bewildered and slightly appalled face. Also, if you install the plug rightway up, you have an arguably higher chance of getting your diddlers onto a powered lead, as a side effect of human grip geometry.
Ikara Pentiki Also, ground prongs snap off super easy. Having it on top means gravity gets to do most of the work.
orijimi I have never seen a ground pin snap from normal use. I’ve seen knuckleheads float the ground on their extension cords with a pair of pliers and a lack of brain cells, but never from normal everyday wear and test.
Mostlyharmless1985 I've removed dozens of ground prongs from outlets that people have just unwittingly left behind.
the label says made in Hungary, the man says made in Germany
sahlool he do good at reading
"Ya have ta READ." I blame beer goggles. Fogs the vision EVERY time! Speaking of 'Made in Hungary', this vidjeo made me hungry. Sammichtime!
Close enough!!
Monte Stu - Crap means the Austro Hungarian Empire is back on the rise, seems history is repeating itself out of order. O.o
That's one hell of a back scratcher... Or ball scratcher if you're trimmed up proper.
robhimself79 castration with a drum sander does not sound like a good time
Them rocker switches are quite sturdy, had one at my desk for a couple of years, still works fine, relieves stress real nice!
I feel inclined to point out that it's not made in the Fatherland, but Hungary instead. A simple glance at the label shows that, what with the "made in Hungary" part.
That's just the label
Mark Thompson, HQ are in Stuttgart.
I noticed that too, and right before he said, "you have to read."
Adolph always called it The Motherland.
I can't believe your watched my hiking video man. I'm a huge fan of everything you do! #HighFive
Barnacules Nerdgasm woah
Barnacules Nerdgasm Of course he has. Almost 1 mil subs btw.
It does seem like he's subscribed to 1 mil channels, I actually miss the old intermissions, I found quite a few good channels from them
Jerry mate, start fixing your car with one of these, AvE might send it to you for the STI [wink:wink]
We had a guy in the a shop I worked in (Ages ago). He was machining magnesium plate with the side of a large endmill on the series two Bridgeport mill. He had a extension cord laying across the floor by the mill running a fan. The plug for the fan wasn't completely plugged in. There was a gap between the cord and the plug, enough for one of the shavings to get in. When said shaving did exactly that it shorted caught fire and ignited the whole pile of shavings around the mill on fire. While he was frantically trying to get the lid off the five gallon bucket of powder to throw on the fire (He should have had it opened already but he didn't). Someone grabbed a fire extinguisher off the nearby post and sprayed it on the fire. The only problem was this extinguisher was filled with water (I don't know if the even make them anymore). I will leave it to you to imagine what happened next.
The APW (air-pressurized water) extinguisher is my absolute favorite firefighting tool, next to the Irons.
Well, absolute favorite, until you get into metals & stuff...in which case, the D/star/yellow extinguishers are quite preferential!
I bet both he and the one with the H2O extinguisher both had full pants, with schmoo running down BOTH legs!!!
The real problem there is you grab the water extinguisher, think "no, wait, no water on metal fires" and grab the CO2 extinguisher. Then you remember (too late) that magnesium burns in CO2 even better than it burns in air.
mmm water on a mag fire,. bet that was awesome,. where's the hot dogs
Yes about three people got over there with some halon extinguishers (Not the proper one) and blew the shavings around enough so the fire went out. The mill wasn't damaged just some paint. They did have to evacuate the whole shop for about two hours till the smoke cleared. After that the owners of the shop had the fire department come out and show us how to handle a Magnesium fire. They built a small Magnesium fire between the buildings outside and demonstrated what each fire extinguisher did to it. It turns out there isn't really a good way to put out a Magnesium all you can do is Contain it. So it doesn't spread and let it burn it self out. There is a special powder you throw on the fire, to in effect bury it. I have herd of people using just plane Portland cement stored on short lengths of 4" PVC pipe with end caps. One glued on and the other just shoved on. If you have a fire you pull the end off the pipe and dump the powder cement on it. I have never done this myself because any Magnesium I ever machined I did it with flood coolant not dry. But it will usually mess up the coolant and cause scale inside the machine. Kind of like bathroom scale you get in your shower at home. After machining Magnesium you have to empty the coolant and clean off that scale (It take's a solution of phosphoric acid diluted in water). Than refill the coolant tank. I don't machine it anymore its to much trouble.
That label says Made In Hungary, the company is Robert Bosch Power Tools based in Stuttgart. Just picking nits, nothing to see here.
Bosch has many factories outside of Alemania.
My favorite quote from AvE to date, sums up the majority of his videos: "You get a hired hand on this thing, and he'll let the smoke out pretty damned quick."
AvE how do i get ahold of you? I have recently aquired some milling tools and have no use for some of them as i am a diesel mechanic. I was wondering if i could send them to you to be put to good use. Some of which have never seen the light of day brand new tools left in the toolbox in ol grandpappys basement
Did you ever get ahold of him?
MAXAWESOME55 ?
@@brandonb9452 ToT killed him and took his tools
MAXAWESOME55 isn’t it townpumpcnc@hotmail or something?
I was told by an electrical teacher in college that the reason the ground goes at the bottom is that if the plug falls down and becomes partially dislodged, the ground is the last part of the plug to become unplugged keeping the circuit in a safer condition for anything not double insulated
The stage below the predator... that would be the prey.
The vegan line? 🤔
the generator @1:06
Ha.. clever fucker..
It is a surface conditioner... not a grinder. It's not meant to remove lots of metal. These are used mostly for autobody surface prep.
when you said go get the beer and meet back here I did exactly that I dropped everything and went and got the beer
Me too!
Me too, but he got back way faster an me ... Vidjeo nearly over.
in quebec we mount them ground up. because we are a unique and distinct society.
i'm sorry, i have no idea what that means. can you further elucidate?
I am a worried neighbor, I hear slurping sounds, panting, peanut butter jars, and barking all night.
Lawrence todd Verrnier ya unique lets keep it at that😏
UK is Ground up with nice solid square pins not like the absolute wank they have here is AUS which is so flimsy you look at it the wrong way and it shits itself with the earth at the bottom
15:50
Lmao, " She locks up tighter than a Nuns..."
Love the piston bottle opener
"That looks like a good job... for somebody else." My thoughts exactly when I peruse the to-do list.
I'm so glad you are endorsing the grounding prong up. We use to install receptacles ground up, and many homeowners could not handle it, even after the explanation.
"Choose your beer out of spite" how this isnt a shirt boggles the mind.
The clutch is for when changing sanding paper on the rubber drum, just rotate the paper of the locked drum.
An electrician told me about the upside down outlets years ago. Makes good sense.
Mr. AvE After being a long term fan of your work I always wanted to let you know what a great guy you are. Letting us know about the enginerding features nowadays and the skookumness of past glory. However, and I say this with a heavy heart. When you said I'll get a beer and you'll get a beer I jumped up to get one. Finally I thought, a quick refill break.. However when amidst my journey to ice cold beheverages I heard your voice. Now in rush to open a freshly chilled blonde one I came back to see you continued your epic story of Borsch green. I guess it's a good thing TH-cam still allows a rewind function on a demonetized HERO. My hat is off to you sir. CHEERS!
Was that a remix of the Inspector Gadget theme song at the end?
Kinda sounded like it to me. I would like to know what it is as well!

Entered the comment zone to find the answer to that very question.
Thanks fer askin'.
Thanks fer ans'rin.
The surface finish you're thinking of is called "hair line". It is not applied with sand paper but rollers made of a 3M buffing pad type material.
Polytex makes a professional version of this tool. Have one in my workshop for polishing stainless welds, it's 18th birthday this year and still going strong.
EU plugs are also deeper into the socket by 1-2cm so you cant ever touch the pins or drop something into even if you find a chinesium plug without isolated pins.
atleast the type-F sockets
Seems like a pretty useful tool for cleaning mating surfaces for automotive gasket situations, what with the long stick making it easy to reach the oil pan mating surface of the block.
Hey AvE, I remember you did a video the magic wand massager, I have what is essentially the professionals version of it. I have an old American made, hand built, individually tested, Morfam Master Massager model M73-625A in practically new condition. They sell online for one to two hundred dollars so they have to be at least half decent and being that I paid the price of a used 1970's car waxer for it I and it has such a niche buyer pool, I think it seems like it would be worth more as entertainment for me to see what's inside it and hopefully give you another tool to show companies how to make tools right. Shoot me a message or reply to this comment if you want to know more about it or anything.
Those blue-handled pliers at the end look like my Klein D2000-49 (9 inch) hardened, angled, diagonal cutters. I LOVE those pliers.
Hello I am a German and I love how you say,, mein Gott "
Best argument I ever heard for ground up plugs was from an old contractor I worked with. If the cord takes a downward load, (most likely senario) the weakest part of the plastic receptical is the part between the ground hole and the edge of the plug-in. Once that breaks it makes the whole thing loose. In ground up orientation your much less likely to break that... Keeps the plug tight...contacts made..more safer. Cheers
6:10 the tag says "Made in Hungary" though. I'll just assume its the beer kicking in.
It sure was! He said the fan would blow the dust from the brushes into that roller bearing when in fact the fan is doing the opposite. Also he was slow to pick up on the fact that the flimsy interior bits (brush holders etc.) are all positively affixed to a rigid PA6-GF30 case and only flimsy when removed.
I thoroughly enjoyed the parts washer bit at the end!
In my hell hot box of a state in houses if a outlet is upside down that's a tall tell sign that its connected to a switch.
In mine all the switched outlets were ungrounded two-pole (not old, just ungrounded), presumably so that you would only plug a lamp into the switched outlet.
I think "burnished" is the word you were looking for while describing the "sanded" look that this could apply to metals. Great vid though and thanks for what you do!
If you need to polish a bearing surface on a crank shaft, you can put a drum with a rim on and let it drive a taped together emery cloth while the crankshaft is turned by the turning gear.
Once that 80 grit went on, I thought, "rotary tool on steroids".
As for the euro plug and safety: not only pins are partly insulated (on new plugs), but also all sockets are recessed, so even if the pin is uninsulated before you can touch it, the circuit is typically already broken.
"Tell the wife that you can never have to many tools for getting into tight spots.. BUT it has limited use"
Story of my life
most important reason for installing the Earth ground prong in the UP position. It ensures that your ground is contacted first to the electrical system BEFORE electricity, if you look at the earth ground prong you'll notice it is slightly longer for this very reason.
Grounding port on bottom is better because if the cord is falling out it, the last connection to break is the grounding wire. There is no code in USA for this however. This will be an argument for the rest of my career.
Andrew Funk that's why it's longest
Use to have a local inspector that would make us turn the receptacles upside down. The odds of something falling between the prongs is slim to none in my opinion.
Takes the internals out of a rigid shell, complains that the internals aren’t rigid.
I can see it being handy for light autobody work -- tonight I could have something like that flap wheel doing some surface rust removal and metal prep.
I used to get yelled at as a kid for tearing everything apart,and you make a living doing it!
21:38 That's why i got a black mamba!
Reaches in the deapest of holes but not the tight ones!
Don't worry about it. Natural selection at it's finest sparky.
Wife isn’t here so might as well watch the next best thing. ✌🏼
I watched this last year but after watching it again I know why it has the one way couplier attached to the angle cut gear. It's so you can twist the sanding drums on and off the rubber cylinder. If you look you see the angled rubber fingers that stop the sanding drums from slipping on the cylinder. The fingers allow the sanding drum to twist off easy in the other direction. They would also allow you to easily put a new one on without banging it on. The couplier would lock in that direction so the cylinder wouldn't turn.
“Her outer covering”🤣
If the plug is partway out, smileyfaced, and some conductive thing drops down there it should pop the breaker. If it's ground pin up, there's a chance it just bounces off the ground pin completely, touches the hot and neutral (popping the breaker), or touches the neutral and ground. That sets you up with a possible nasty ground loop and sends whatever current your cord plug device is using into your ground system the long way, which could shock people touching pretty much anything nearby that is grounded. Some inspectors don't like those odds. There's also the possibility that because of the angle of the dangle will pull the ground pin out first just hanging there.
"gota be a cool dude ta use it" that had me lol"in somethin awful
Minor detail: That actually was the real CE certification mark and not China Exports, the letters were further apart. Thanks for another great video!
I’ve been amazed at the vast wealth of knowledge of Uncle Bumblefuck. But, that said......I didn’t know he could stumble over a term like “skin”.
If something fell in behind the plug then it would short out and trip the breaker. The neutral is still grounded anyway.
If someone has wet fingers they still have equal chance of contacting the live prong regardless of orientation of the socket.
*Must. Not. Comment. On. Outro....*.. . Screw it. Did the wife come running in asking "What are you doing with my..."
Wholly Mindless vageen refiner?
A Nether-Trasher 2000. Get the 2500, runs on two stoke, hides the smell.

the sprag clutch is there to prevent premature wear on the first drive gear. the drum on the end will have enough momentum to turn the motor (when power is disconnected), which is undesirable when using offset gear angles such as those. see that style work in components from older aircraft parts. (been in the aero field many years). most recently on a flap track gear box.
Those work for resurfacing stainless sinks.
Our electrical plugs in the UK also have shielded live and neutral pins, with the earth pin at the top.
Our wall sockets have an internal shield built in covering the terminal contracts. When you push the plug into the socket, the earth pin, which is longer than the live and neutral pins, pushes down the shield allowing the L & N pins to enter.
I am surprised how small in cross section the pins on Nth Am plugs are, especially when you are on 120v, so require more current for tools etc. UK pins are quite chunky in comparison. Like Europe, the UK uses 220-240v.
The cable/flex from our plugs exits from the bottom of the plug, unlike your type. Prevents cables protruding out over counters etc. It also means slight tugging won't pull the plug from the socket.
We aren't allowed sockets in bath or shower rooms, and light switches have to be either ceiling mounted with a pull cord, or a wall switch mounted on the wall outside the room.
One disadvantage of our plugs over Nth Am is that your plugs can't lay pins up on the floor unlike ours.
If you think treading on Lego in bare feet is painful, try one of our 13amp plugs. Holy buttwunger, it's painful.
Get some Bosch blue! Here in america we only get the blue "professional" grade. I would love to see some Bosch blue make it into a BOLTR
jack You only get the cheaper blue stuff here in Europe we also have very high quality blue Bosch tools
The amount of phrases and jokes i learn from you will trump my college education any day.
I'm a mechanic. The proper kind, not the fancy kind. You know the type: dirty concrete floors, tools and parts strewn everywhere, posters of partially-dressed girls holding overpriced tools. We have easily 10 or 15 worn out receptacles with cobbled-together extension cords hanging halfway out positioned about the shop, and so far nothing's ever gotten dropped into one, not tools or offcuts or fingers or anything. Now that I've said that, it'll probably happen next week...
Like it usually does.
We have a very specific proverb for that "phenomenon" here in Greece.
A ‘proper’ mechanic has their tools and parts organized, not strewn about. I’ll bet you’re not very busy.
Brian Golob no...that means one has too much time to organize
If it can happen, it will happen.
The one way clutch could protect the motor from being driven from a spinning work like on a lathe, or from when pushing the tool real fast to cover a lot of surface. The result is either a more controlled drum, or electronics protected from a back driven motor.
Moose head beer ain’t that bad, it’s no PBR , but hey...
😱😱😱
Finally some sense on outlet position I’ve always installed ground lug up and people argue that I’m wrong they can suck it
Who drops things between a plug half inserted and the receptacle?? Kind of a Darwin moment if ya ask me.
When I was like... 8 or 9 years old I was curious and dropped a penny onto the exposed plug ends, lol. Freaked me out when it popped the breaker, but I kept that penny with a notch burned out of it for many years.
the sparks are pretty lol.
A proper design is safe, effective, and easy to use. I think most plugs have the easy to use part down, but others won't pull out of your wall with a little waggling and/or are much safer in the event of an unlikely or likely occurrence. Like accidentally touching the pins while pulling it out.
You guy's are cheap-skates, I used a quarter (American coin) thinking it would either stop the train, or at least derail. That sucker, was extra BIG & FLAT, but the train keep going. I was very disappointed, but I keep that coin for a very long time.
At 5 years old i found that a hacksaw blade fits perfectly in a 220 plug.
Not only should the ground lug be installed up top but when the plug is sideways the wider flat electrode should be up top, it's the neutral-which of course ties to the ground...so same theory. And its not so much the idea of something random dropping in there but that a metal wallplate can come loose and easily slide down and in.
Does the vibrating can with the airplane toilet water in it really vibrate at a frequency high enough that it doesn't require an abrasive medium?
adrian pomber i think that’s why you add the airplane toilet water, although it might be port-a-potty grade
Rafael Sherman that makes sense too.
Water is abrasive; just ask the grand canyon.
Reckless Roges if I'm not mistaken, water is a solvent, not an abrasive. The rocks and sand that the water carried down the river was abrasive.
No. The reason they use ultrasonic in the cleaners is because it creates high velocity steam jets to scrub parts. The cleaning solution gets heated to a little below the boiling point to aid in the happening. Imagine a bunch of tiny steam blasters and pressure washers. Now if you have a bunch of parts in there (nuts and bolts) banging and clanking together the vibration does help.
In U.K. we have 3pin plugs, they are the other way up with the earth up top. Our plugs have a specific size they have to be too to reduce chance of touching half engaged pins. That with the plastic sheathing makes them fairly safe
@16:33 The fan is NOT blowing "in here". It's centrifugal, so it is creating a slightly negative pressure "in here". This will get rid of any "graphite grinding dust" that may be lurking to pounce on the rear bearing.
I think a pneumatic vibrator is the only safe one for the bath.
Aaron Adams honey I’m going to take a bath... Brrrrrrrrrrrnrnnrnrnrnrnrrr....... Fffffffvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrdrdrrrrrrrrr
yeah but all those bubbles
Way back, I recall that 3-Prong outlet installation orientation were supposed to be addressed in the NEC code. Never heard whether it ever was, but US electricians are still taught to install them with the ground lug on the bottom.
"120 Amps" =)
DAMN! TIL and it makes complete sense. I've been installing electrical outlets the wrong way! It took a cheeky Canuk to learn me proper!
"At full stall we're only getting a hundred and twenty amps, which is dead nuts on the label"
That's strange, because that doesn't look like 2 awg wire to me.
Brady Tribble; Yeah but remember it's 120A @ 240V not 120V. And the wiring is also metrique, so 2AWG ~= 2mm^2 XD
MRLT 120 Amps is 120 Amps, regardless of voltage. It needs bigger wire or it melts. Using higher voltage means more power without more current.
You’re forgetting how much more protection European domestic mains has compared to North America...
You’ll bang out the 20A circuit breaker (Mainland Europe) LONG before the cable gets hot in a prolonged stall environment
Brady Tribble he obviously meant watts since that's what the kill-a-watt was set to he was reading.
Most euro outlets are only on a 16A breaker, plenty of juice at 230v
Best tool ever for glass fiber work
Always seek the advice of a professional when dealing with a green tool.
You answered your own question as to the one way clutch, the "solid" sanding tube has angular cut reliefs which will allow the tube to be removed while rotating one way and not the other...
We had bicycle inner brake cable attached to the parts washer great for poking into carbs and such. The new guy flipped it behind the machine out of the way. It laid across the plug wires and it starting sparking. It gave him an HR approved foot shove away. Luckily the cable gave a short and kept falling away from the angry pixie receptacle.
At a hospital and the 110 outlets are normal ground on the bottom.
metal covers or plastic?
Every hospital I've done has been ground up
AvE plastic
Because of a possible oxygen enriched environment
Same hospital but not for me this time, up in the ICU and the 110 outlets are ground up, still plastic.
I swear to God, this dude keeps me laughing my damn ass off so much !
far, far better than any television show and on the friggin fly !
beyond brilliant!
in regards to our 120v plugs ..one feature that manufactures seem to be doing more and more.. is building a wide top of plastic BEFORE you get to the prongs ..so to touch the prongs you almost have to do it on purpose
but back when I was a kid I did manage to zap myself with a device what had a small plug ..I can still feel it :)
