Review on πŸ”˜ DGOL Round Stainless Steel Standard Thickness by Justin Vasquez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

WRONG AND MISTAKES: DON'T BELIEVE! I tested with a marked 12 AWG wire/conductor.

1. I used #12 AWG (stripped) solid copper wire to ensure the DGOL wire gauge is accurate and reliable; IT IS NOT! because #12 AWG solid wire fits snugly into the DGOL groove marked "14" (straight piece, not a circle). Cal.2. Power cables are YELLOW and BROKEN, the latter have a larger diameter, so there is a separate marking on the wire stripper. The gauge of the electrical conductor must indicate which parts of the wheel are measured with SOLID conductors and which other parts are measured with CONDUCTIVE conductors, as solid and stranded conductors have different diameters (stranded conductors are larger due to the spacing between conductors). In the best case, the wire gauge should be BOTH solid and stranded on one side and metric on the other side. What can misleading wire gauge lead to? At best, it's a waste of money to buy bigger wires than you need and the hard work of packing them into small boxes. Worse, smaller wires can overheat, melting at connection points and end terminations, resulting in costly troubleshooting and electrician bills. At worst, smaller gauge wires can overheat and start a fire in your home, which can kill stranded pets, cause lung damage in sleeping people, and take longer to get out of the house, not to mention property damage and insurance premiums. Prizes for burnt offerings. and everyone else pays higher insurance premiums.3. The KEYHOLE gauge design is very confusing. If the gauge part is a straight keyhole part and not a round keyhole part, then why the heck do you need a round part, why don't you just have straight grooves or just circles but not both? The DGOL wire gauge is well made and clearly marked BUT THIS IS ALL WRONG and ERROR in application, useless if well made. It's useless and a waste of time and money at best and dangerous at worst. Do yourself a favor and test this DGOL gauge wire with a stripped piece of electrical conductor that is clearly marked with the US wire gauge number on the insulation.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
