Electrical Tips & Hacks That Work Extremely Well 

Those conductive pens work great on broken rear window defroster grids in vehicles, much better than the parts store kits.

Like the homemade cable reel? Calm yourself.

Great video if you want to kill yourself or burn down a building. We have the code (NEC) for those reasons Have a great day and be safe. P. S. I would suggest that none of the viewers use most of these hacks. Do it right!

больше половины из увиденного это нарушение правил технической эксплуатации элекроустановок.

.... I'm only taking the pencil sharpener hack with me, all others are fire hazzards

and somethings would be much more dangerous/deadly with a AC power grid. this is a real problem. everywhere on earth is not the same and when you make a video for the world it could be viewed by the whole world, not just your local area. I remember some mushroom hunter saying you don't need to worry about any mushrooms growing in the grass they are all not dangerous but in my country the USA one of our most deadly mushrooms grows in the grass. once a nursing home cook unwittingly mass murderer a whole bunch of elders because he cooked some. because destroying angle looks like white button mushrooms sold in the local store, I think he got lethal injection but I am not sure.

@@Amipotsophspond You speak 100 percent facts my friend. Have a great day and be safe.

No kidding! I'd use styrofoam! 🤣🤪

😂

Abroad they don't know safe electrics 😉

Buts it’s okay, it got the green check mark!

Oh c’mon live a little

When clicks equals cash, what can we expect?

That's a bit over dramatic. I only seen one that could injure or kill someone. Some of these were actually quite good. But I guess you one of those types no aren't you. Just don't like anything and always make everything more dramatic than it actually is....huh...

You're missing the point. It's about problem solving and creative thinking which is exactly what the job involves. You can take or leave the tips rather than complaining about them on the internet.

It’s for Russian electricians.

@@jvon3885 being an electrician there is little to no useful information in this video. If someone were going to attempt any of this I would scoff and say good luck explaining to your insurance company as to why your house burned down.

U missed the video when instead of a lug someone is using the body of a rivet crimped on a copper wire connected to the brass contact of a magnetotermic switch

We do it daily in squeezing connectors.

​@Richard Cranium No, no we don't. Those contacts are not aluminum you pud.

@@richardcranium3579 Делайте дальше. Просто надо было физику в школе учить

​@@riccardozorzi3840 If the rivet material was not qualified as a proper conductive electric part by the test organizations legally approved in your legal jurisdiction (UL, CSA, TUV, ETL, and more) You can't just add some random stuff in between wires and connectors to make a circuit. Stay away from electric stuff

IKR ?!?! This is why Russia looks like crap in every video. No wonder Putin is losing his war. This is how the Russians built his military. On waste products and cheap ass crap.

also in germany

This guy is nuts.. you have special tools for these jobs and you have guideline's.

No Brasil também tem códigos rígidos

When they made the light socket out of screws...

Блин.... ты опередил меня тока прочитал 🤣🤣👍👍

ждал этого коммента 👍

Да тут практически всё такая ересь... СКРУТКИ ЗАПРЕЩЕНЫ... ПАЙКА ЗАПРЕЩЕНА... Всё остальное видео про то как заменить стриппер за 500 руб. или пресс клещи с наконечниками...

@@user-wn2fj7pm7n Ни скрутки ни пайки не запрещены! Внимательно читайте ГОСТы и ПУЭ, все четко оговорено где что можно где нельзя. Достало уже это невежество.

Нормально дружат медь с алюминием. Просто надо использовать герметизирующую смазку. Раньше просто солидол, сейчас кварцевые. Есть ВАГО и СИЗы уже со смазкой для соединения меди и алюминия.

3 jaw chuck holds 3 wires better than just two

Тут б'ольшая часть лайфхаков - лютый пиздец

обжать медный провод алюминиевой заклёпкой - вот где эталон безопасности! 😂

i hope this is satire because if not please enjoy your house fire and/or getting electrocuted

Also material cost!! Who cant find a few drywall screws after framing & a scrap of trim or wet plywood laying around. And its universal-fits every lightbulb. Genius!

Oh, forgot the marker. Use it all the time-& my kids are learning my trade. I just make my schematic with their fav toy’s outline (Mr. Octopus for complicated jobs & letem rip. (Cover the marker w/rainbow tape to make it more fun)..

Don't forget to randomly coil up some wire and stick it behind a GPO for no apparent reason...it may help in your journey.

Just put the Fire Department& EMS on speed dial and you’re set

but there is shrink tube on the cables!

Who cares about the shrink tube.... just go buy a light socket and not risk someone gwtting killed.....

Это временное освещение на время проведения работ в пустом помещении

Perfect!

👍 💯%

They didn't do any of these things either. They found the clips on the internet. The ones from North America seem to have better cinematography but the watermark has been blurred out.

That would be my revommendation, as well.

Soldering high voltage and main house line a BIG NO NO. Aluminum a copper too

Is it because of heat melting solder?

Most of the connectors on this video are not legal

dear lord other stuff was brilliant. videos like this are in a bind You ever see India videos fixing 65k watt transformers. This video is God like compared to India But your information was also well needed.

@@Azaerel If you do this you would have two different metals in contact. You make a battery by the reactance of two metals to each other. Also solder and copper have different resistance. Lots of weird stuff will transpire in that connection, better to have a connection that is invisible to the flowing current.

Ja sehe ich genau so. Frage: Warum lernt man diese Berufe 3,5 Jahre?? Weil man es dann erst kann und versteht was da passiert ( im Betrieb). Leute Finger weg vom Strom ohne Ahnung!!

Es ist wirklich erstaunlich, dass RU-vid solche Anleitungen zur Fahrlässigkeit nicht löscht.

So would the people installing them.

А потом дерево отсырело...

@@user-sk2wz1ov3v так это ж , ВРЕМЕННО

@@RealmeCy-ep2vt на всю оставшуюся жизнь...

Это лайфхак для временного освещения в месте проведения работ. И только на время проведения работ, потом это всё убирается. Когда в сарае, подвале, на чердаке, на складе без освещения делаешь какой-то электромонтаж, то нужно быстро сделать себе свет. Особенно зимой нужно все делать быстро. Потому что пока снабженец привезет из магазина светильник это может полдня пройти, за это время ты уже все работы сделаешь и получишь деньги.

Hack is the right word, just not in the way they're using it. 🤣

You've got that right , For example those T tap connectors I would never use for splicing a wire , For example when I have to make a splice in knob and tube wiring , I carefully strip the existing wire and wrap the wire I'm adding on tightly around the existing wire and then solder the connection , Afterwards I'll wrap it up with splicing tape than finish it with Scotch 33 electrical tape Another thing that when I connect stranded wire to a lug terminal , Instead of smashing a piece of copper flat and trying to wrap it around the wire , What's much better and easier is I'll take a piece of copper tubing , Cut a small piece and slip it on the stranded wire and then crimp it on so it's good and tight, Then make the connection to the lug Now for those large crimp on ring terminals I would use the proper terminals for the wire size and not try to make a terminal by smashing down a piece of copper tubing because the part that's flattened down may not be thick enough to handle the amperage and also use the proper crimping tool I am very strict when it comes to electrical safety and don't believe in "Jerry rigging" anything , For any electrical installation Using the right connectors and the right tools for the job is an absolute must This one time I was replacing a receptacle and cord for a clothes dryer and the idea popped into mind that putting a piece of copper tubing on the stranded wire ends and crimping it on definitely protects the strands from damage when connecting the wire to a lug terminal which also keeps the connections from overheating because direct connecting stranded wire to a lug terminal will have to be retightened periodically because compared to solid wire Stranded wire direct connected to a lug terminal is known to come loose over a period of time and by crimping on a piece of copper tubing to the stranded wire end The connection stays tight , using a cordless drill is ideal for twisting wires together but I never use a drill for putting on wire nuts because you can very easily overtighten them , Another thing I do is when I connect 3 or more wires together with a wire nut is I'll put a zip tie on the wires just beneath the wire nut to help keep them tight in the wire nut , Another thing is those Wago connectors I don't really trust them for a tight connection They're fine for temporary connections such as light strands that's used in construction but not for permanent connections

"Human rights?" I don't think that's the term that applies

You got that right , Especially when it comes to electricity because of how dangerous it can be , Not only does it shock people but it can seriously cause severe internal burns which can result in losing fingers , limbs etc, Not to mention causing death , It can very easily start fires if the work is not done right I realize how very important it is to do every electrical job right which is a big part of respecting electricity and I definitely don't believe in cutting corners and for something as dangerous as electricity , You can't afford to , I myself almost died from electrocution when I was 10 years old when I went to turn on a floor lamp in the living room , Nobody told me about the lamp being defective and I feel to the floor , Lamp and all , I can about swear that God came down from his heaven and got me loose from the shock Our next door neighbor who's an electrician looked at the lamp and found one of those tiny wire strands from the cord was touching the metal part of the lamp which made the whole thing a live wire and he explained to me about why I got such a bad shock , He showed me what caused the lamp to become a live wire and how shocks occur and how to avoid touching paths to the ground , After the accident I started becoming very interested in electricity and our electrician neighbor began teaching me about electrical safety and respecting it , That awful experience definitely taught me a lesson in not cutting corners when doing electrical work because I always think about what it can do to you every time I do an electrical job Thanks also to our electrician neighbor He was a huge help to me to overcome my fear of electricity and I sure learned alot from him and I have several electrician friends who have given me valuable tips as I was learning about electricity and I tell them what kind of installation I'm doing and they gave me even more valuable tips to help me do the job right and I have always thanked them very much for it , That's just one of the reasons I am very strict about electrical safety When it comes down to brass tacks , No matter what you do , Safety is a definite must and always priority one and there is no such thing as being too careful

"Hack" doesn't necessarily equate to code violations. They're just different and more efficient ways to attain the desired results more quickly. My Robotics teammates would always yell at me for handling builds with "unorthodox" methods/solutions, but we always ended having a top tier functioning robot to kick ass in Comp. People often look at a different way of doing things, and immediately rule it out as something legal. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's wrong.

All the time. Put one of the cheap ones in the middle, & they work just like a fuse. Whereever you smell smoke, listen for a sizzle behind the wall - you know the fault is somewhere on that line, a line connected to it!! Brilliant!

Agreed

Точно😂

Yes. I almost shat myself when I saw the conductive paint being used across that board for the light bulb.

Maybe in Germany?

​@@thomasulbrich-wu4wj any first world country really

Это для любителей

Agreed ! I have used a knife to strip wire in a pinch but have to be SUPER careful to use as light a touch as possibles so as not to score the conductor. I cringed when seeing all the knife based wire stripper “hacks”. Basic wire strippers are not that expensive

I never graduated from high school and still understand what electrolysis is. 😆👌

btw: the rivet is too short and too loose

@@cartridgemusic I dated a girl just like that before dropping out of high school. 😉

Да, я тоже рад, что наконец то полезное видео без идиотизма. Реально хорошие советы в основном. Интернет завален всякой херней, в подавляющем большинстве случаев такие видео я комментирую матом. А здесь просто с удовольствием посмотрел. У самого руки растут правильно, опыта много. Но все равно почерпнул для себя много нужных хитростей.

I replayed it several times and still don't understand; I'll have to try it myself.

It looks like the movie has been cut and manipulated afterwards. Don't believe it is working at all.

Thats just a fake. This guy is a fraud

@@SomeRandomPerson163 I just tried it with my headphone cord and my finger and got it to work. I wouldn't be able to explain how, so don't take my word for it, try it yourself!

Poderia me informar o nome dessa musica

Stick to wood working, the hacks shown here will kill people. Maybe not immediately, but overheating electrical is a major killer of humanity.

This is NOT how electric work is done. You need to stop doing it yourself if you think this is how.

@@joemonstermaker4784 Hi Joe, thanks for the reply. I didn't say this is how electric work is done. There are good tips in here though. As I mentioned, I'm not speaking to code and my comment shouldn't be taken as speaking to all aspects of the video, or "how electric work is done." With that said, twisting a wire in such a way it makes a better connection to a terminal is very helpful, as are some other tips in here. But yeah for sure, use caution when you do your electrical work, or hire a licensed electrician. I do some DIY stuff in my videos and I'm about done on motor restoration to post soon, but always safety is a priority as well as doing a good job. Let's check it! Take care 💯

Можно, но должна быть кварцевая смазка. Другое дело что это глупо.

Copper pipe may be of different alloys than electrical wire. Anytime there is a connection point of different resistances, some amount of heating may take place. It's best to use material approved and recommended for electrical use.

I think the pop rivet was stunning. I mean what could go wrong with copper and aluminium in an electric connection. Can't wait to install bus bar like that. What you mean hot and cold flow on electrical connections. It wasn't on fire when I left

I did, now I'm dead. Hey why bother doing anything properly when theres such fun burning grans house down. Never again do I need to use proper tools when I have a hammer. I think diy brain surgery seems like a good idea.

They pretty much all suck. Clever sure, but good? No. This seems like stuff I would have done when I was 16 after my high school electrical 1 class. I stopped watching after the conductive pens. Yeah it works, but you would never do that, that's like running bare conductors just attached flush to the ceiling. I want to see the person run their hand over that accidently with the power on. And most of these like the drilling holes in the screw head to twist wires, what you don't know how to use a pair of linesman? Or is it you aren't physically strong enough? So many unnecessary things, split a nut in half with a grinder to put in a vise to crimp with, sure use tools that are 2x or more expensive and the time it takes to make that instead of just getting a crimper for 15-20 bucks at harbor freight or any home supply store.

hi I am one please don't do any thing in this video, unless you want your house to burn to the ground. 90% of this is extremely dangerous, and the other 10% is doing a lot of extra work to not buy a 5 dollar tool

Also an electrician and 8:28 is literally the only single thing in this video that i or any of my coworkers have ever actually done, and even then i prefer cutting a marrette into a spacer bc it wont deform over time like wire will. These videos will get some clueless homeowner killed one of these days, nothing but code violations and fire/shock hazards. Or stupid hour long projects to replace a pair of linesmans lol

I don't believe there was anything legal in this video. At least not in the United States. Most looked to be European or some third ward county.

so the entire video ok

It makes for bad practice, it's better to essentially completely guarantee safety than too flirt with how bad it can get. Hacks are for hacks

@@jacobbieganowski9136 I agree

These videos are designed so you dont look away and comment on them. The more you watch and comment, the more $$$ they get paid

@@KyleSand Not exactly. You get paid for the views but not the comments. Though in a way you do get paid for likes and comments, as your video is then more likely to be recommended by the RU-vid algorithm, so you are kind of right.
