For stripping anything over a #6 I use Al. He strips em, lands em and torques them. Handy tool indeed.(I take good care of Al, he's a fine man.)

Got an MSDS for that bottle of water on the steps? :grin:

Funny you mention that. They're selling packets of Gatorade powder at the supply house to mix whole coolers of Gatorade. A guy near me in line needed an MSDS for that powder, and he was dead serious. I didn't think you needed one for what's essentially food. If I have leftover McDonald's ketsup packets, do I need to get an MSDS for them?


EDIT... looks like it has one: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/3AP83#

There are those who think we're kidding.

MSDSs for water do exist.

Actually it was easier to find the MSDS for water than for Gatorade. The link to Grainger just has some mumbo-jumbo on Gatorade letterhead. I'm sure that airborne Gatorade powder would be combustible. Then again, it can't be that hazardous, given that it's essentially sweat and sugar. (After all, the "scientific research" they put into their product was to figure out what was lost though sweat and replace it, in exactly the same proportions)

On the flip side, there are some tidbits pertaining to water:

- Inhalation can result in asphyxiation and is often fatal.
- Skin contact: Prolonged but constant contact with liquid may cause a mild dermatitis.
- Ingestion: Excessive ingestion of liquid form can cause gastric distress and mild diarrhea.

This is the most accurate MSDS I found: http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/safety/ChemMSDS/WATER-MSDS.html

If you look closely you will see that it is FANCY ketchup not the run of the mill you get in the store.

Bouphagy? I thought you would know more about Chick-fil-A.
 
For 600V wire I use my Strider PT pocket knife. I always have it with me, it's very good steel and only needs touched up once every week or two on my Spyderco Sharp Maker. For 15KV wire I use a utility knife and change the blade for every termination.

Oh and anything from McDonalds shoud be considered hazardous and I always request an MSDS with my order... :)
