Cut Perfect Electrical Outlet Holes Without Measuring!

[@trevorwilkinson4323]

Brilliant idea!! Saving time is well worth the small investment to create!

[@3BricksHigher]

Thank you!

[@Nextraker]

Thanks Domin, very informative and useful tips as always!

[@abrahamgonzalez6995]

Did this foo just beat box the background music 😅

[@3BricksHigher]

🙂👍

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Great idea! My project already has drywall but unfinished back, so it's even easier. I'm going to use those adjustable boxes, the depth can be adjusted with a screw. Never used them before, but that might work for thick walls if you change your mind or something.

[@3BricksHigher]

🙂👍

[@JackiePitalo]

I found this video very helpful for cutouts in wainscoting panel! I got confused a moment & thought you made 2 boxes 😂Figured out you removed it off the video! Very clever sir!!

[@3BricksHigher]

Thanks for the kind words 🙂 I'm glad this helped you 👍

[@RapTalesRewind]

You can also put chalk on the outlet box or some paint put the board against it and it will mark your spots.

[@3BricksHigher]

🙂👍

[@ridein4life1]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to mark the back side of osb with paint with no luck but I’m gonna give the caulk idea a try. Thanks for this input. Heard cheap red lipstick works as well but I’ll try the caulk first

[@reub5439evil]

You can find those magnets at home depot in the nail &screw aisle

[@TwilightxKnight13]

If you have trouble breaking wall plates, consider switching to indestructible ones made of a less fragile plastic or just switch to stainless steel. That’s what I use in my shop

[@3BricksHigher]

I appreciate the advice. I will look into that 🙂👍

[@jtom8888]

Love this idea! Thank you

[@opiec8871]

Man I wish I had seen this four out of six outlets ago.

[@AZTechLabs]

best part was the spit. LOL

[@3BricksHigher]

had dust in my mouth lol

[@trailwhim]

This is the comment I was looking for. haha

[@mountainmancaraway6431]

Nice work man. Thanks for the idea

[@heroknaderi]

Wow this is a great idea. I appriciate it.

[@jeffsond]

Would a 40lb earth magnet work?? I saw some 100lb but I may have trouble pulling off the paneling.

[@3BricksHigher]

As long as it's small enough to fit, It would most certainly work 🙂👍

[@jeffsond]

@@3BricksHigher I’m using 5/16” panels

[@3BricksHigher]

​@@jeffsond40lbs should be strong enough

[@pwnersmanual]

Pretty dang slick

[@3BricksHigher]

Thank you John 👍

[@nathanielbravo4464]

Good stuff 😊

[@Primetime-te7jx]

Definitely gonna try this. Ruined 2 pieces already....lol. down to my last one

[@chasen5252]

Good tip I might have to use this one!

[@lanalambert3605]

All good until you spit. 😏

[@chasen5252]

@@lanalambert3605 never spit 😏

[@dannyhenderson5337]

Thanks so much

[@dannyhenderson5337]

This is amazing

[@palarious]

Nice trick!

[@Ruf.70]

I like your innovation. -But by the time you rig this jig & accidently drop & pick up the magnets a couple times you could have measured & notched out four outlet holes with a drill & jigsaw.

[@3BricksHigher]

Fair enough, but I've yet to drop it 🙂👍

[@Ruf.70]

@@3BricksHigher - Understood. Also, your idea is perfect for a larger job, like an entire home, etc..

[@pradeeprasam]

Genius

[@littlebeebs1]

Where’d ya get the earth magnets with holes ? Want to get the right ones . Thank you 😂

[@3BricksHigher]

Amazon. The ones i used were made to rivet to things. I know some of these magnets are used on trackers that are on the containers from rail cars. They are then pulled by tractor-trailers. I hope this helps 🙂

[@naranbeck7243]

👏👏👏👏 thank you!

[@ingrid-mariaphilipson8426]

💥THANK YOU...!!!💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@Msleelee9487]

where did you get the magnets nice trick

[@3BricksHigher]

Thank you for watching! I found the magnets online on ebay. They were pretty cheap and VERY strong! :)

[@Msleelee9487]

Thank you it’s gonna help a lot 👍

[@3BricksHigher]

If you can't find them, let me know. I have an extra set I wouldn't mind sending you, on me of course.

[@peejheat]

brilliant! Thanks

[@3BricksHigher]

Thanks 🙂👍

[@mikebartoli4755]

Brilliant idea but I'm trying to put up corrugated metal panels 🤔

[@boydhayden3295]

Really good thank you

[@darkspd31]

Great tip!!

[@edgarhilton136]

They have gadgets like this on Amazon

[@3BricksHigher]

I should've thought to sell em too 😂

[@thegameplanapp7756]

Ohhh god electric and magnets make me so SO nervous!!! Arc flash ⚡️

[@3BricksHigher]

LOL I didn't have the electricity hooked up :) Thanks for watching!

[@bestever7579]

Why didn’t you move the boxes out before you covered them with the siding so you can put the white cover over the electrical outlet again

[@3BricksHigher]

I have a weight bench right beside that wall plug. In the past the bar from preacher curls have busted the plate when it would hit it. I left it in the wall to prevent this. I didn't show it in the video, but I made that wall panel easily removeable to service the plug if needed.

[@yahjason]

The music slaps

[@g-man5809]

Awsome

[@3BricksHigher]

Thanks G-man!

[@hijinxignatius]

Hot DANG!

[@simpsonhomerenovations]

Jack leg

[@3BricksHigher]

Only the left one... the right leg is named John and really gets upset when someone calls him Jack 🙂 they are identical twins so it is understandable when it happens

[@willietownsend3547]

Well I be damn great video

[@SammyEddie]

I missed something. I’m dumb and slow and white.

[@3BricksHigher]

Hmmm... it's pretty self explanatory. Watch again and you'll get it 🙂👍

[@abbigailsnodgrass144]

Did you just spit on your floor🤔

[@3BricksHigher]

yeah. it was covered in saw dust and it is a shop. Worse things than my spit will spill on it, gas, oil ect... It cleaned up well and I will have you know the shop was not harmed by it :) lol Thanks for watching!

[@willsmith475]

This is a very good idea for the type of plugs your using but of you are using the square plugs that don’t have a center screw. Come up with plan B. I wish I had a plan B 😂😂😁

[@sesyoloji]

Калі б гэта зрабіў вядомы чалавек, вы былі б вельмі вядомым, калі ласка, не забывайце мяне

[@sesyoloji]

İf someone famous make this you get better wiew

[@3BricksHigher]

I agree! Thank you for watching my video :)

[@Vonnegut84]

Hurts seeing that go up with a visible AC unit but no insulation

[@3BricksHigher]

The thick panels actually insulate the shop pretty good. I can get the temp down to 72 in the summer 🙂👍

[@rodneytrawick2202]

Why? Just … why?

[@3BricksHigher]

One word... "Simplicity"

[@themaster_0000]

Except it won’t just line up perfect it just won’t. It needs to be within an 1/8 inch but it could be 1/2!off

[@3BricksHigher]

Everything lines up perfectly. I don't understand?

[@5537933]

don't spit on the ground. PLEASE

[@3BricksHigher]

I had dust in my mouth. It was on my shop floor which was dirty anyway. It's been cleaned. It's all good now ☺️

[@2011mendo]

Do it all the time,, chew tobacco taste bad when swallowed!! Aim at a spitoon, but don't always hit it dead center...

[@littlebeebs1]

@@3BricksHigher, Yeah . I don’t see the big deal . Haha ! I’m a female finish carpenter and I spit dust out of my mouth all the time . Beats swallowing sawdust 😝. I’m sure I look like a barbaric heathen to some . But at least I ain’t swallowing sawdust or whatever. Spit ain’t the end of the world on the ground or a dirty shop floor. As a matter of fact , the sawdust absorbs it and it gets swept up at some point 🤣🤣

[@3BricksHigher]

​@@littlebeebs1absolutely 😁

[@KrazyKajun602]

No it doesnt work good for sheetrock, they cut all the wires inside because they won't use the base to adjust the depth.

[@themaster_0000]

That looks terrible. Omg

[@3BricksHigher]

It's a shop. When I break down a motor in it the parts look terrible too. I don't think anyone notices the plug. It's the only one like it in the shop lol

[@congoparrot]

why did you have to spit? wtf?

[@3BricksHigher]

Something in my mouth i didn't want in there 🙂
