Your a excellent instructor and knowledgeable I was remodeling my basement and needed some confirmation on my skills and your instructions got me back on track thanks a lot for being there…

Excellent laborer. I watched all of your electrical videos. Multiple times actually. And you explain everything really well. I felt confident enough after watching your videos to do my own wiring in my storage building and I now have power to my shed. That's a project I been wanting to do for a couple of years now.

Awesome...easy to understand...loved how you went over the wiring once all switches were connected.

You just made me want to change professions. I'm a network engineer and now I want to build my own house lol...you're amazing my man...

Thank you sir. Im just a diy homeowner. Its been about ten years since I've done any wiring.

You are a life saver brother!! Thanks so much for sharing all your expertise!

Dude, you are an EXCELLENT instructor. Thank you for sharing. God bless you!

Very nice video. A suggestion for making your wire nut connections more reliable. Strip the wires longer, twist them together, cut off any excess, and install the wire nut.

Great video! Really refreshed my training and will help excel my garage project!

Thanks so much! Your comment on breaking off the small brass tab fix my problem. It allowed me to have one outlet hot and to turn off and on the other side.

Appreciate your skills, and patient. Great demonstration on how to do it right

Great video man. I had to rewatch the pigtails because I didn't realize you had one coming in and one continuing. Lol. Makes sense now. I definitely feel comfortable doing it now.

Just wanted to say thank you for your help. Your video helped me solve a light switch issue at my new home. The switch was wired wrong and your video helped me fix this issue.

Way to go Josh !!!!!! Keep them coming 👊🏻👊🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏻👊🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why you need 2+2 black cables in the pigtail for the two switches? Is just power black + 2 extensions black cables enough? I want to install 3 switches in one box and don't have much space so plan to try one power and 3 extension, hope it will work

Great video!! Thanks

Excellent,you explain excellent.

On the blue single pole switch, you will notice there are "notches" next to the ears, those are actually wire strippers as well, one end is for 12 ga and the other end is smaller for 14 ga wire. Just in case you don't have wire strippers. or don't want to use a knife just insert the wire and spin the switch it'll cut the coatings.

Great job ty soooooo much!!!

Thank you so much

Love how simple u make it look I am coranley learning how to be a electrician

When twisting cables I nearly every time navigate towards using Wago 221. They are a little more expensive but worth every penny. Makes pigtails much easier.

Thanks brother

Wow I'm amazed

Good stuff bro!

The newer switches & receptacles both the hook and the straight-in slot and then tighten down. I prefer the prefer the slots because they are easier to slide-in & tighten down. These cannot be pulled out! And there even better ones that have locking-snaps. I haven’t seen them in stores yet, but I am looking for them!

Very good video like always 👍
