Y'all should listen to this guy.
He knows what he is talking about.
He is obviously a well trained master electrician with years of experience.
Parallel wiring in your outlet boxes is the only way to go.
I don't use the back push in holes if at all possible, but that is my preference, plus I have troubleshooted these same problems in outlets and switch legs, many times a back pushed wire has come loose or came out.
And stay home on St. Debauchery Day!

bonus tip: if the light's not working at all, if it's not the dead outlet's problem, it's usually the live outlet closest to it. since they are wired in & out, it seems like the "out" connection fails more often than the "in" connection.

My absolute fav electrician!!!! Great

[rocajive]

nice tip of the radio, I’ll definitely try that one!

Honestly I wish the NFPA/NEC would require parallel wiring with pigtails and finally be done feeding through devices. It takes 2 minutes longer per opening, costs two wirenuts and a Buchanan sleeve more… and is so much safer and more reliable. Plus in new construction you can bring a circuit up with an outlet for the trades anywhere along the way pre-drywall. It’s just 100% better. I used to do the series thing too but stopped years ago.

EL JEFE!!! Horale i like that carnal!!

You will not need to fix lights flickering anymore, new safety switches that comply with the also new NFPA's national electrical code will make lights flicker on purpose. That way if you accidentaly touch a hot wire, you will have a 50% chance to not get electrocuted, and in the unlikely case that you touch it for long enough, you will only be half dead.

parrallel wiring neat idea... recentely had a branch circuit with two recipticles not working . It was like a game of clue to figure out but I borrowed a wire tracer and found recepticle with hot wire stabbed in that had came lose. Thanks for video

Great tips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

ARGGHH, spend a dollar more and get commercial grade receptacles that have plates and screws to secure upto 4 hots and 4 neutrals. Pig tails just add more wires inside a small box.
I do like the trick of pounding on the wall to check for loose wiring.
I have thrown away my plug in radio and Van Halen music. A cell phone and a helper works as well for confirming what breaker powers the receptacle in question.

I have a 15amp 230 volt compressor I upgraded to. Can I use an existing outlet or do I need to wire a new one? If is, what should I being using?

[AutomatizacionJSV]

I really enjoy the explanations. But I enjoy more the comments. Enlightening. lol.

[marcrj]

"stabing" outlets with plastic boxes.... unconscionable. The reason on don't use "wago-like" connectors is the same. I don't trust the mid to long term. I screw that's it that's all.

[fiqsimt]

Seems like pretty good info, but the jokes are just so bad. I kid... this guy cracks me up.

[maximusvonderbrewskis]

I have a very powerful home stereo amplifier and when the music has a lot of bass the lights will dim. Can this be fixed? Is it dangerous?
