It's the Legrand Rapid Clamp, if you are wondering.

The only way an electrician is going to be shocked by this clamp is if there is an earth fault or if they see the price :, )

Wait... an electrician that knows how to use a trashcan? Now ive seen everything

Two weeks later.... We discover all the copper plumbing connects to PEX before it ever reaches ground. :)

With the advent of PEX plumbing, you cant trust that a copper line is properly grounded anymore.

I'm an electrician and I'm only "shocked" by the price of this whole thing!

If they are shocked by it, there’s a short somewhere 😉😂😂

As an electrical and an electrical engineer, i have to tell my brother, you've got some nice amd expensive equipment

We’ve had a plumber die after touching a pipe that was grounded by electricians

If you twist stranded wire backwards, then bend and put around the screw, it won't splay out. It will hug the screw post as you tighten it down.

Ahh yes the spicy water earthing. They did that before in sweden. They stopped for a reason. If you are showering or have your hands in the faucet when lightning hits the powering it can cause you to get electrocuted. The same if something earth out (mostly a problem in a house without an earth breaker).

Videos like this are gold.
No judgemental ranting about customers, DIYers etc, just beautiful, neat, professional workmanship.

I'm a DIYer, constantly wanting to raise my game by studying the best professionals. I'm a subscriber to this creator for that reason.

So this is why plumbers are getting shocked on the gas lines

From the quality of many of these replies it's good to see that so many experts have a keen interest in the electrical safety requirements around the globe, and have a firm grip on the philosophy of bonding/earthing of extraneous metal parts and circuit protective devices.

HE'S NOT USING THE PIPE AS A GROUND! HE'S GROUNDING THE PIPE FOR SAFETY!

Sorry to shout, I just thought someone should say that one more time. /s

And I'm not even an electrician.

Oh dear a lot of comments about grounding and earthing here. Look if your work is subject to BS7671 the conductor is Bonding extraneous conductive parts to the MET. If 7671 doesn't apply to you ( If you live in the US for instance), ignore the video and use building codes.

Doesn't matter what country you're in. That laminated sticker is going to fall off that OSB in no time. FAIL

I was expecting inspector clueseua to turn up 🤣
