Watched a guy in Atlanta fix a panel with a tool I never thought to use
I was helping a friend rewire his garage in Decatur last week, and we ran into a real tight spot with the main panel. The bus bars were so close together I was about to call it a day and order a whole new unit. Then this older electrician from the crew next door comes over, sees us struggling, and pulls out a set of those thin, angled needle-nose pliers. I mean, I have a pair, but I always thought they were just for tiny electronics work. He bent the tip just a little, slid it in, and had the conductor seated perfectly in like ten seconds. It totally changed how I look at my own tool bag. Now I keep those pliers right up front. Has anyone else found a simple tool that saved a job like that?
