Hands-free Pulling: Taking the Strain and Stress Out of Cable Installs

Steve Maurer, IME

Running new services or upgrading existing ones can be difficult, even dangerous work. Installing the conduit, junction boxes and other related fittings is no walk in the park. From hanging strut to making bends to getting everything to fit together, the entire process can be backbreaking work. And with larger services … the hard work seems to increase exponentially.

Shining a Light on Electrical Counterfeiting

Wiring connectors and terminals are the kind of electrical product many contractors buy in bulk, without paying much attention to their details or markings. And if the products install normally, there might be no reason to think more about them.

Jobsite, Farm, or Cabin in the Woods: Portable Power-to-Go is a Must

Steve Maurer, IME

Mobility and portability is a necessity today. As an electrician, you know that. When I was an electrical troubleshooter and installer, I was often on location before the power was installed … or when it was down. That meant I needed to either pack a long extension cord, run a gas generator, or use battery-powered tools and lights.
