Those boxes that you were stepping over were a definite trip hazard. It would have been nice if the warehouse manager had one of his/her employees temporarily move them out of the way for you. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

My Brother, good practice to use stacon connectors for the wires to terminate on the screws, and make a pigtails for the receptacles because that will make a better connection on the receptales devices.

On lunch break watching this

Hey man, dig the video as always. Have a question, I was taught that it’s better practice to splice wires with a pigtail rather than relying on the receptacle terminals to bond conductors like you did on the 2nd receptacle up top that had the two MC cables coming into the box and the receptacle below where you connected the line end of the switch to the existing receptacle terminal. I feel like most people will argue that it’s fine and everyone does it. Here in Southern Nevada we are still using the 2017 code book and I’m pretty sure there is a NEC code saying you cannot use receptacle terminals to bond conductors, however our local AHJ amends this and allows it. Curious of your input. Thanks.

If I have more than 2 mc cables in the box then I will pigtail it. But also you have to consider how many outlets in the box to make a pig tail because those wire caps are not small. I don't like pushing all those wires plus wire caps into a box that has one outlet. When I have to push wires an wire caps into a metal box you are asking for wires to get cut or scraped. Great question but I'll pigtail if i have more than one outlet or more than 2 mc cables in the box!!!

Just a tip, before you tape your outlets take the screws out so you don't have to maneuver around them. You're removing them anyways. Also, Please use a LOTO on that breaker, no reason not to keep yourself safe and going home alive.

Hey bro! Level.3 electrician in Canada here. I'm fairly green when it comes to adding circuits to a finished project. Would you have to add a breaker and tie this new circuit onto it for it to be deemed safe and completed? Cheers!

Hey man havent been commenting but i still watch every video including HVAC ones. I was wondering, what tool pouch do you use? looking for a new setup and yours looks pretty simple in a good way

I use a simple husky tool apron when I'm only carrying tools an screws. An when I'm doing more work where I need to carry straps an connectors etc on me I use a full klien 2 pouch setup.

Make sure you wrap your wire loops clockwise around the screw terminals on the receptacles. (I think I saw Ground screws were backwards). MC Cable needs a strap 12" or less from the box. I always carried a few receptacle/cover plate combos with pigtails pre-built in my van. I always used Ideal twister wirenuts too, no pre-twisting of wires required. Great video, it brings back memories. Thanks, Russ, Electrician from Oregon.

Were you screwing those saddles to the exterior sheet iron panels? Those screw holes will let water in.

@United Tradesman Academy How do you like those milwaukee work gloves? Do you like them better than other work gloves? If so, why?

Those gloves are all i buy. Cheap, durable, an overall safe for different levels of work. Because i usually wear the rubber coated one an they don't make me feel like my hand is going through a workout when wearing them all day.

point to add check the direction of your ground wire when tightening

6 in min conductor length… Yoke used as a slice is for residential… Please clean up you work space after install , the guy who pulled a box may not be protected from a small pcs of copper in the eye… Mc unprotected below 8ft… Reversed conductor curve on ground screw … Keep up the good attitude and work 😊

This is not industrial. Warehouses are commercial. Industrial work involves machinery

Don't listen to the comments section. They are probably still sniffing their bosses butt at work. While you got your own gig going on! LMAO

Don't use power tools to tighten device screws

You climbed all the way up there and didn't tie off to anything!?!
