We call those b-line splices. use them on security and fire alarm installs sometimes. I don't have any on the truck though, not used often enough.

We call those chicklets- And I put plenty of s$%t on my bugs before rubber taping them

Does anyone else on here call split bolts "Kerneys"?

A KERNEY is used for pulling Messenger or self support cable

We call side cutters "red handles" due to the fact that we've always bought them w/ no grips and put the red hard grips on. And they are my hammer!

we use split bolts

FWIW, what do you call the other pouch on your tool belt where odd parts are kept? Bug Bag

What's a tool belt? Isn't that what back pockets are for?:smile:

You should be careful how you use the slang for a "motor connection box" as this one GEEK calls it.

depending on where I am working, I find myself censoring "normal" conversations between me and my coworkers.

For example "hey pass me over a pair of dykes" doesn't go over too well in an office environment.
