Life Saving: Power Tools & Hand Tools

Twisted Wire Lifebuoy. After receiving this, I don't do anything new without having this tool with me. This saves me a lot of time and saves me having to constantly tighten the wire nuts. It attaches to a variety of wire nuts. It will not stick to small wire nuts. But it's enough for everything with gauge 14 and above. I can rebuild outlets faster than other electricians. I don't have cramps in my arms. I attach this to a drill press when remodeling my apartment with outlets and switches so there's no constant hand twisting. I would buy it again and again but I haven't even broken it yet. I thought the plastic would break. But that's still pending. Be careful when it is attached to the drill press to avoid dropping it on the floor and tearing it. UPDATE: I found it easier to twist the wires on the drill with it. Once you get a feel for it, you'll know where to stop to avoid it. Sometimes I'll even smack the drill and check, only to smack it again to keep it from twisting. This is enough not to twist the wires together. You can just push and slide the wire nut onto the wires and she will twist them nicely for you.
