Fat Max Laser Plumb Bob! Excelent for laying out lighting or centering boxes over a kitchen island. Saves time and aggrivation

My favorite speciality tool is a well trained apprentice.

My favorite speciality tool is a well trained apprentice.

I believe someone here uses their apprentice as their favorite test load as well.

Work yesterday (punching holes in stainless) reminded me how much I love my hydraulic knock out set.

The one that amazes most laymen is the hole on the side of the strippers. When they see me bend a perfect hook in half a second they often drop their jaw.

but MY favorite electrical tool is the newly acquired 2 gang cover wire pull helper that has pulleys on it. Great for jobs where I am alone.

I strip and hook just as fast with my Kleins.

So far my favorite tool is my Panasonic Metal Cutting Saw (EY4542)! This thing is AWESOME! Well balanced, light, cuts just about anything. Conduit, strut, threaded rod(cleanly), pan deck, etc. Faster and cleaner than a reciprocating saw.

This things gets lots of use since many of my co-workers also like it

Not at all. Last week, we made $2000.25.

"Who paid you 25 cents?"

"Everybody!"

Does the wire ever get hung up in the corners where the 2 rollers met?

 

[gabe277]

It has to be my 10 in 1. Love that screw driver.

i would have to agree 100% my 10in one and my kleins definitely .

that was my first concern, but it looks like they engineered it so that the rollers are firmly spaced just right to prevent 14 from going in between.

The post about the rack-a-tiers got me thinking.

So what is your favorite??

Mine digitally is the TDR.
Non-digital are my linesmans, they are like an extension of my hand.

What TDR are you using? Is it cable specific like for UTP or can it do more than that?

Thanks

heres the one I have:
2011 greenlee wire tracer

Hurk,
Here's the one I have.
http://www.licensedelectrician.com/Store/AM/At-4000_Series.htm
Works Hot/Cold, 32KHz signal, filters out 60Hz.

I am still practicing the 'art' of tracing,
so sometimes I have to sneak up to a bad receptical.
(I found a room paneled with 3/4 inch knotty pine that was rough to trace.)

I am putting together a clamp-on current pick-up with amplifier
for my portable O'scope.

Big Boy toys!
