Hi! Thanks so much for sharing. Very helpful! I have a hollow door that’s peeling off its top layer in pieces. It’s hard to explain but I would love to send you photos so you can suggest one of your videos that might help. Do you have an email I can send the pictures to?
Not a fan of the aesthetics of Control Strip hooks. They need to hire a better designer.
I do not disagree at all.
Turn a radio on loud plugged in
You got it.
Remember when flipping breakers to always use a ten foot insulated pole.
15” minimum. 😉
Some good tricks that are so obvious now that you mention them. *banging my head for not thinking*
Ha! Don’t punish yourself too much. 😀
Reminds me of ZEC mini crypto miner.
How so?
If you have an iPhone and Apple Watch, you can setup the iPhone in the room you’re killing power to, and broadcast to your watch while you flip.
That’s a great idea. Here’s how. support.apple.com/guide/watch/camera-remote-apda6e61c287/watchos
You can do this with androids too
I have a question; in my house I have three sources of electricity 1- main grid 2- generator 3- second generator what is the best breaker that can manage all three automatically and convert from one to another
I genuinely do not know an answer to that. As you research and find out, I’d love to know what you discovered. Please share back here when you find that out.
lol @ "close your eyes"
Will this work for 3d printers like Elegoo? I have their purifier but have been warned its not enough
I cannot say definitively. I don’t know how much one could rig this to work with another system. It is built by and intended to be used with the Snapmaker.
❓❓❓❓I have two wall plugs (out of three…in a room size area)……..that are “open hot” (reading on a circuit reader) ….how do I find out which circuit they are in the box?
‘Open hot”…(they don’t work)
So to be clear, you plug something into the outlet and the item will not work, but the circuit reader shows that it is hot meaning there’s electricity running to it. Is that correct. In this situation, I see two options. One is calling electrician to come look at it And investigate. However, as a DYIer we want to do it ourselves. So if the circuit reader is giving you that reading then leave that plugged in and use the process of elimination on the breaker box by turning one breaker off at a time to see when that circuit reader turns off. Once again, use many of the method available from the video: have somebody standing near it, using a video app on another device, etc.

Great tool.
This video was useless
Useless? Really? What were you looking for it to accomplish? What would you like to have seen displayed? Help me make it better.
Thanks! I'm tackling this on my own today!
Way to go! You got this.
That’s a lot of work 😂
Just one if you label the breaker box. 😉
Thank you. This solved my issue
Great! Glad to hear it.
You are super anoying
Thank you! I feel like I have some hope in fixing my couches!
You can do this!
Exactly the information I was looking for and loved your sense of humor, thanks!
Glad it was helpful. Also glad you enjoyed it.
Idk what breaker is messed up. Nothing tripped
Give us more detail. What’s the scenario?
I’ll call an electrician. 😂
I get it.
The humidity of the towel doesn0t damage the door?
Not at all
Very good tips. Thanks.
Thanks for taking time to comment.
Your funny and entertaining, thanks for the vid. How would you trace wires in a celling for a fixture that may not have all the juice it needs. It read a very low reading on my meter. I need to find out what circuit its on.
Thank you so much. the Einstein that owned my house before me labelled switches and outlets like this = "Lights" "Plugs" with no indication of which floor it was on etc. Another good one is if you have an apple watch and an iPhone, open up the camera app on the watch and then you can see the lights go off when the switch is flipped!
There you go! Great thinking.
I have another brand of circuit breaker finder, and I have one receptacle in my kitchen that I absolutely cannot figure out. The detector starts beeping over a general area, I have flipped every one of those breakers and it’s not it. The only one I didn’t flip in the area that “beeps” is the 50 amp that our electric emergency heat is on, and there’s no way in hell this 15 amp outlet in a totally different room is connected to it, is there?
Certainly not that I can imagine. Do you have a subpanel (another panel in an addition added later)? Could it be on that?
@@diywithconfidence no subpanel.
Unless I missed it, showed nothing about finding the right breaker for a ceiling fan, which is what I needed.
It’s on there. A phone. A camera. A computer. A tablet.
@diywithconfidence sorry, did miss it!

I liked the long extension cord method to the upper level since the 2nd half of it nearest the breaker box would never have to be moved and the other end could be just moved from room to room. Someone commented what about a water heater, well that going to be a double 220v breaker for that application only and should have already been marked to begin with like a air handler, air conditioning unit, a range, well pump, etc. other that that this is mainly used for identifying multiple outlets, lighting, etc. After I retired I had so much free time on my hands that I took the time one day to identify every single item's location on each of the 15 or 20 amp circuits even down to outlets on which walls, inside lighting, front or rear outside lighting, flood lighting, doorbell transformer etc. I could never stand those small little standard identification labels in the box so I created a master sheet using Excel on the computer using single space for 15-20a, or double space for 30-50a rows and printed out a easy read large full size 8 1/2" X 11" sheet (resembling the actual panel) and fastened it to the inside of the breaker box door, it has highlighted colors and matching color coded breaker larger number labels (also easy read) for each room. It was a great rainy day project with nothing else to do and was definitely worth all the time and trouble, if I ever need to work on something now I just go to the panel box and switch that breaker off confidently, but for safety I always take the time to confirm that the circuit is dead using testing equipment.
Great, in-depth comment. Thanks for taking time to leave your comment.
@@diywithconfidence Thanks, I hope that it gives others the incentive to be creative with some organization and be able to tackle the breaker identification issue permanently.
Is that tensile strength or shear strength? Hmm...I'm going with shear, myself. Could be both. Let's go with both. Safety first.
🤷
Excellent tips. Thanks
You bet!
all but worth less ....
Why?
Thank you so much for sharing this. It had loads of really useful tips in it, and I am sure that I will be able to take advantage of the knowledge gained. Regards Chris (Staffordshire)
Glad it was helpful!
Man - the security camera idea was great. Loved it thank you
Glad you liked it!
any of you guys using the 40watt laser? sounds like a Hoover shop vac. now you will not have to worry about those pesky little noises
Sooo true.
Do you have an easy way to find the breaker for hallway lights without someone else upstairs to tell you when the light goes off (and the lights don't appear to power any outlets)? I wish it was as simple as an outlet. Whomp whomp. 😂
Do you have another phone, iPad, computer, etc.? Go to Zoom or FaceTime or Facebook Messenger and use the video to see when the lights go off.
Actually an electrician told me that doorbell is low voltage. Go to the breaker for the closest outlet to the bell and turn it off then ring the bell. It doesn’t ring then that’s the one and then mark on schedule.
Interesting. I’ll have to give that a spin.
how to test a two plug socket when only the top half works and the bottom doesn't? Thanks
It’s on a switch? Test the top half per video instructions, flip the switch and test the bottom.
Great Video / Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Why does this guy not have more views than this?
Right?!?! I keep asking myself the same question!! 😉
the way you insert movie scenes is masterful
Thanks, tons for the feedback. I either get response that the video clips are asinine or that they love them. It’s one or the other. I have fun, so I’ll keep doing it. 😉
Crap, I'll just have someone else do it. I didn't know turning off a circuit breaker was so dangerous.
Heck, you can do this! Don’t be fearful. Life is full of dangers: using a tablesaw, eating stew, road cycling, voting, inhaling your own saliva. Be careful out; there just take appropriate precautions.
@@diywithconfidenceI’d say a table saw is more dangerous lol
My husband just installed 2 bidet in my house today!!!!! Love it ❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! This is life-changing. Whenever I travel and don’t have a bidet I feel a huge loss and disadvantage. One of the greatest upgrades I ever did in my home. I hope you enjoy. Is it inappropriate to say cheers???
Please be more concise
Ta! (Was that concise enough?)
How do I find the thermostat breaker? Whoever labeled them could barely write apparently
You may find this video helpful. Most thermostats are low voltage. Low Voltage Wires kzread.info/dash/bejne/p59-tM2smKrgn7w.html
I love your narration. I’ll never get to my project because you’ve got all my attention 😂. I’m going to sub, great walkthrough, great tips, and I actually understand. THANK YOU
Thanks, brother. I appreciate you taking time to leave the comment.
Dude informative and love funny cuts. Awesome. I need to find the breaker for outdoor light
Did you find it yet?
Pleeeeeaasseeee get to the damn point omg 😡
And the point being….
Keep your eyes open and be aware of where you place your hands at all times. If you are concerned about your safety put on some protective equipment like safety glasses, electrical gloves, face shield, etc. or just call an electrician.
All true.
Waste of time. This guy is more concerned with inserting movies clips he thinks are funny, but they are not. Just annoying. Bye Guy!
Thanks for dropping in anyway.
