I’m an electrician “ripper stripper is not needed” when you are a professional you already have proper tools and the knowledge to use tools you already have to do that work.

Agreed. Stripping your wires in a box with the Ripper stripper would be a nightmare to use. The basic tools of a wire stripper and a knife is quicker and easier.

Love your channel, just sucks that youtube makes all of you post filler shit to keep your channels up.

great content

Am I the only electrician that hates diagonal cutters? There's always something better than them, maybe it's just the type of work I do. I prefer shop scissors to cut wire, and a variety of other cutting tools for anything heavier.

I always install my wire nuts backwards

I was just about to bash them in the comments about everything I saw😂😂 mf was using the knife on the wire after it was stripped like💀💀

I like the fact a reamer is on the outside edge of the pliers, BUT I think its insafe to use those pliers as an Electrical tool because the handles plastic sleeve does not go all the way down. I'm sure someone will use those on something LIVE and get zapped cause your gripping metal.

I really don't see any reason that anyone would use channel lock pliers on any wire other than making up a head much less a live circuit.

this is the kinkiest list of tools i’ve ever seen

U forced a wire nut on with the twist a nut.... you don't turn counter clockwise to put a wire nut on 😳

No, he’s just using stolen footage, so it’s flipped so it doesn’t get flagged and taken down.

Push in connectors fail and are mostly garbage. Then at times you have to disconnect joints (the push ones suck to take off live)

my guy you probably never used a "Wago" in your life. Its literally a safer connection then any twist nut and is atleast easy reusable and its easy to change connections.

Those names tho 😂😂

the "lil' ripper" is understandable since it's a safetly tool that can do pretty much the same as a knife while being safer, but the rest is ignorable I work in portugal and for years that no one uses wire nuts anymore, so push-in connectors are ignorable (we call them wagos here because it's the main brand) since it's already a everyday use, the "powerslot" sounds like a marketable cash grab that can be found for 5 bucks in your local tool store, reaming pliers are those kind of tools you use once every year and so are the rethreading stuff, and if it's a "once a year tool" then you better not even have it in your tool box since YOU are the one that have to be carrying it around as for the "carlon" box, from these kind of videos it seems that in america wood for structure is used a lot and thus why the carlon box might be better, but here no one really trusts wood for a new house for the simple reason that if is new then it should last for "years" (as in as long as possible without damage) and cement does seem more reliable, usually it ends up being cement with pladur finish on the walls and ceiling, so we just either use normal boxes (dont know if that's the correct name in english) in cement or pladur boxes when pladur finish

The ripper claims to "not cut into wire", but it can and it does. Electricians in the states, (unless they're old), don't use blades to cut wire anymore usually. Instead, most in the trade use the standard Klein 12/14 stripper combo - they have two nice slots, each for a 12 and 14 size wire - it's meant to cut the jacket (insulation) off cleanly, and it is an AMAZING timesaver (the buildings I wire, are usually 50-75+ units per building, residential) For "new construction" (which uses wood beams), we'll use nail-on boxes (plastic, like the Carlon box, although that old-work box is probably nylon, a little stronger), and "old construction" (a house already built with walls, etc), we use these "old work" boxes like you see in the video (Carlon is just the brand?). Our standard, single gang metal boxes, we call 1800 boxes normally.

A list of cheap and poor tools.

All presented items are rubbish and not worth having except for number 6. End of...

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about lol. Out of all the "tools" on this list, the only *ONE* that's actually "useful" is the "Carlon box" (We call them old-work boxes or winged-boxes), because when you're adding a box to an existing wall/sheet rock, these are what you'd use. Not sure how "electricians" never heard of them - they're a necessity. Every other tool/whatever on this list can be done by an alternative (most of which can do these jobs better, for example, instead of lugging an entire box around to tap holes by hand, Milwaukee has a drill and tap hole bit kit, that you can use with hand tools.) While true, the plug-in connectors can be "smaller" than wire nuts, as an electrician, I will say we *never* use them. I rough upper-class condo/apartment buildings, and even when hardware (such as a shower fan) comes with plug-in connectors, we throw them away, using wire nuts instead.
