    One suggestion. Some of the terminals are wrapped counter clockwise to the screw.

    You want them to be looped in such a way that when the screw is tightened the loop is pulled into the screw instead of being pushed away from it.

    You can see the way it’s wired here. Each one relative to the screw.

      This was a fun watch!

      I’m not knocking anything, but the half-finished tribal tattoo absolutely sold the video

          When it comes to videos showing electrical work, roofing, or other trades; I look for tattoos and such.

          If the guy in the video is hard to understand, has a bunch of tats, is filming it poorly in his backyard with wind in his mic, has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth; you’re probably getting good advice because he does this shit for a living.

          The guy in a neatly ironed polo shirt with a corporate logo, slick video with animations, nice background: that guy has no fucking clue what he’s talking about.

      I remember when my gramps showed me that when I was about 12 and was helping him wire in his house.

      wish he was still around, old timers had alot of wisdom and tricks I don’t see anymore. (they also did some really FUBAR things too 😆)
