For that copper pipe.. you shouldn’t strap a pipe with a strap of different material. It leads to corrosion.. that strap should have been copper instead of brass
Galvanic corrosion occurs when anodes and cathodes are touching, those brass Munsen rings are designed specifically to hold copper pipe. Some plumbers used to leave an iron nail on a copper pipe, to cause corrosion so they get future work fixing a leak.
That's low voltage wire, it's not gonna kill anyone. But also, using a wing nut like that is the most useless thing I've ever seen. There is no reason you'd ever need to do that.
They sell those at like every place that sells hammers!😂😂 Harbor freight has like three or four different types like that. Lowe's I bet has half a dozen or more!
@neenhamilton3563 Hey thank you for that. I kept thinking I needed horse shoe nails trying to think of what to use and I just found some online at a local hardware store. So thank you 😊 again.
It becomes common sense after you learn it. What's wrong with more people learning or getting reminded of forgotten tricks? Either way, it's just a one minute free video. 😁✌

Some of these are interesting techniques that can help you in a pinch. Idk some folks are extremely critical with this Short Clip. Every builder is different and has their speciality. Granted yes, there are those who over complicate a build just to justify their budget, and those who simplify for the best cost-effective route.
I mean... some of it's good. The stuff where they just show a regular tool doing what it regularly does is good. This is probably the best tool hack video I've seen. That's not a high bar, but it's something...
I feel like this was made by someone who has just now discovered tools but never seen anyone use them.
They probably saw it somewhere and thought it was clever, but they aren't. One hack job influences another.
I’d let my children watch this over gaming videos or skiibbidy any day
The hammer one was most telling.. like dude just flip the hammer around, put the nail on the claw, punch in the nail, then pound it in.. 🫠
Never used a wingnut screwed upside-down as
a retainer or used a half cut bottle to catch debris though.
For the same kinda person, too! 😅

Framing hammers mostly have them. But they're more useful for starting nails above your head.

The bottle to catch drill dust is actually a pretty decent idea.

The bottle for the drilling is a good idea though

Ok, it is nuts to waste a wingnut to act as a cable holder.😅

Also, the cable is exposed to the sharp screw thread.
That idea is nuts
Also when you see a lengthy crack on a wood immediately hammer a huge nail nearer to it.😂

For that copper pipe.. you shouldn’t strap a pipe with a strap of different material. It leads to corrosion.. that strap should have been copper instead of brass
Kris the galvanic action between copper and brass is minimal - they're fairly close on the spectrum.
@@openeyes-411 Agreed. Brass IS copper--with added zinc.
I used these straps to hang all my towel racks and curtain rods in my house. No corrosion at all so far。lol 🤣
Galvanic corrosion occurs when anodes and cathodes are touching, those brass Munsen rings are designed specifically to hold copper pipe. Some plumbers used to leave an iron nail on a copper pipe, to cause corrosion so they get future work fixing a leak.
Good luck finding a compression fitting made out of copper! It doesn't really lend itself to thread cutting.
Thanks
