I've been hobby re-wiring for AGES,  
essentially just copying what I saw, but with newer or better parts.

So my Comment here, after watching almost a dozen of your wiring Videos,
is to tell you that you've given me Loads of Great New stuff,

like the way to use the hole in the Stripper (barely shoved in the hole) for a good loop, or
the fact that Stripping Length templates are on almost all new objects that receive them.

In another, you pointed out that there are 2 separate guides on the strippers: 1 for solid, the other for stranded. On so many strippers, the print is so faint that I was only noticing the numbers, not the words "Solid" vs. "Stranded".

All Great Stuff, Adam!!
Thank you.

This a great video Adam! Thank-You! Would you mind doing a future video on multi-meter basics. I have a digital unit and rarely use it, but would really appreciate your instructions on the basic uses, functions, and how tos! Thanks

The order for which the wire
connections should ALWAYS be: Ground, neutral, power.

This is a very fantastic video!!!! I like how you illustrated how to curl the wire in a way that when you tighten it, it will stay in Could you please make this same video, but using different usb and type c outlets that are 15 amp. They seem to have less side screws and they are different amps like 3.6 up to 6.8, so please do this same video showing how to convert from that one in this video to the more tech friendly type out today that have regular outlets and usb ports as well as c type ports!!!! Thank You

The strip gauge on the back is for use with the push-in terminals, not the screw terminals.

I don't know how your videos do it, this was my second question to wire a single outlet, don't remove the tab. Thank you. Good day.

Hey Adam, love what your doing to educate diy ers. I'm a new viewer to your channel.
My question is receptacle series... the correct way to wire?

I need to know do you always put the wires on the bottom screws

In my electrical box at home .I was wondering if there’s an overload on one line.Will it have any effect on other lines in the box?

Anyone have a recommendation for deactivating and hiding a light switch that powers a outlet? I've tried to find a video but I don't want to burn the house down or blow up my home computer that is powered by the outlet.Thx in advance!
