DO NOT run cables in direct contact with a wood screw (or bolt.) If there is the least jostling/vibration/movement, the screw will eventually cut through the insulation.
As an electrician I think people get too paranoid about strapping wires. How shaky is your house that thhn wire rubbing on smooth metal will cause failure of the insulator?
@@johnbeargrease6784 I wasn't talking about smooth metal. I was talking about threaded fasteners, particularly the threads.

Like you, I see no risk there either.

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 hammer with the nail holder is a great way to make sure you never drive a straight nail again, while taking more time for each of them. Brilliant! /s

@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.
Half of these "tricks and tips" are just using products as they're meant to be used. They belong in a different video titled "cool products" or something. Then the other things, using materials in unexpected ways, would make up a true "tricks and tips" video.
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!
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. 😁✌
Ok guys, you didn't get it yet? I got it!!! He's showing up his skills, on how fast he can hammer the nails. He's incredibly skilled and fast, it requires years and years of training. Now, look how much work he can do for 30 seconds, can you? No you can't, but he can. I know people, that can do oil change on his car for 30 seconds. They are guru of skills.

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.
Everyone’s talking about how using a tool as this intended, isn’t a tip or a trick but quite frankly, I would rather them teach people how to properly use tools rather than the usual “life hack“ BS you see on the Internet
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! 😅
Putting a wedge in the wood handle of an axe or hammer isn't exactly a hack. Its just how they are made. 😂

DO NOT run cables in direct contact with a wood screw (or bolt.) If there is the least jostling/vibration/movement, the screw will eventually cut through the insulation.
Also bags of wire guides can be had for a pittance.

There’s a reason why cable straps are usually plastic
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 🤣

Good luck finding a compression fitting made out of copper! It doesn't really lend itself to thread cutting.
