Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Also fixed my magnifying lens, ditched the fluorescent tube light, transducer/transformer (whatever), old wiring. Rock lights and a 18V battery adapter.

 

I've wanted one of those for years. The analog gauge is so much easier to read when checking 12 voltage.

Digital multimeters are way more sensitive than what I need.

 

I'm concerned.

There should be no splices in a breaker enclosure.

Uncut wire from plug to breaker. If a splice is needed, a junction box needs to be used in an accessable spot.

 

Those should be outlawed.

 

The one that was rejected (although they did approve a shorter crane) was where this red marker is:



Further away from the main runway but directly in line with a secondary.

 

Headed north in a few hours, trying to miss Atlanta am traffic. I'll check in if I knock something decent down, otherwise I'm out of pocket until the 26th or 27th. Y'all take care now. Safe travels to those hitting the road.

 

Safe travels and enjoy your time off.

 

Be safe more clueless drivers every year!!

 

Hopefully you'll be checking in soon.

 

Have a good time and drive safe!

 

I can drive anywhere in the city in 2WD but 3 times in the last 2 days (and about to be 4 times) I've needed 4WD to get up my own driveway and into the garage.

Backing out I was on the brakes and slid the entire way down the driveway to the street.

And I needed to get my hat with the ear flaps out to shovel tonight. That wind is whipping!

 

I think I found one..

 

Snow I can deal with.

Freezing rain sucks.

 

...and he chooses to live there...

 

Ice or freezing rain is horrible to drive in.

 

Looks like a nice piece of kit, nice size display, comes with a thermocouple for checking AC temps and such + a frequency setting to dial in your generator.

Amazing how much tech is available for so little money anymore, remember when having a color TV was a big deal?

 

I’m real happy with the 500ma scale. With all the extra bullshit I had to switch scales when I had High draw issues. Screen is bigger.

my blue point was good and simple.


Others bought the flukes and it took a phd to read the instructions.
I just went to my box and pulled this out.

 

I have this one. It's great for ringing out continuity, but just like all digital meters, it's too sensitive for checking 12 volt voltage. If you are a sparky, this is great, but for random shop use, it's way too sensitive. The bouncing ghost voltage will and does piss me off.

 

This one is my go to for the shop.

So far it does all I need. It has an audible continuity feature that works great great for tracing down conductors . It's even fell off the bench a couple times and still works fine. Cheap, too.
