Problem is the managers have never done the job, they are clueless.

[@acespark1]

Every manager thinks every job is a 5 minute job

[@carlmarquardt994]

I'm fed up with it TBH

[@mattyclark1981]

Good to see Emu getting a day out!

[@bigclivedotcom]

I'd just like to say that I put all my banjo screws in myself. And file my own unistrut too. The way you were talking about putting the covers on the panel, I take it that it wasn't live?

[@jointechcabling9103]

It wasnt live. We're turning it on today. If they can get the generator running for the shut down.

[@xlfive]

Those little bob in there jobs are usually given on top of a days work you already have,only the other day this 5 minute job took me nearly two hours lol

[@olliegooch2]

The Makita battery vacuum must have been out of shot for all of that swarf 😊

[@andyleggatt1846]

You say they care more about batteries - I know of a hospital that has spent about 20 grand in total replacing ups batteries that died from the heat, but refused to spend 3 grand for air con to stop the replacements from facing the same consequences! The next year, you can guess what happened….

[@Andrew-su3wt]

Willis Carrier invented AC you can still see his surname on refrigeration equipment today …mainly refrigerated transport now

[@philipb867]

It's like when the wife says...'I've been thinking...'

[@jointechcabling9103]

Hahahahahaha yeah it is. My body goes cold when that phrase is spoken

[@tf2694]

Air conditioning was made as a by product of an inventor trying to reduce humidity in a printing company back in 1902. Yes it was a bloke in america and they still sell air conditioners under the brand name "Carrier".

[@Sparks6078]

Just like a 'while you're here can you just.........?'

[@Pieman2008i]

Just get it done! Reminds me of a an alcoholic supervisor who looked like something out of LOTR great guy, rubbish super. 😂

[@iotelectrical]

I definitely would have gone back down for my voltage tester to make sure them bars were dead 😂

[@jointechcabling9103]

I hadnt connected the mains downstairs so i knew they were dead. 🤣🤣🤣

[@MADSPARKS31]

"They care more about the batteries than they do the workforce" 😓 😰 😎 😂

[@pieterkruger4134]

How do you get those glands tightened once in the plate working alone? Perhaps a video on that please?

[@ariebastiaanse3423]

You forgot the vacuum to clean everyting up.

[@blackindian9554]

U should make a web site an list all your tool.

[@garyemery2421]

What is the point of banjos, surely the gland secured to the plate is a good earth

[@gareth4168]

"just" is a weasel word. People only every say it to make things sound more acceptable or easy than they are. Case in point: "Just" stop oil. Obviously that'll be easy too.

[@sergiofernandez3725]

Just go and do that job. It'll only take you 10 minutes That sentence is up there with Dont worry, the guys onsite will sort that out. Little thumbs up Tony.

[@danielelise7348]

It was a guy,Willis Carrier,he's known as the Father of air-conditioning...The more you know!!😉

[@JL-rx6hl]

Tony. why dont you use heatshrink sleeving on the lugs rather than tape?

[@thedutchgamerguy8580]

Probably because you would have to carry a heat gun and extention cord up there aswel

[@jointechcabling9103]

Client preference. I dont supply any gear just labour.

[@samgriffiths7609]

The reason I hate bolting banjos so much is because unless you’re terminating into a plastic housing, they’re fucking pointless! To prove a point, I once tested the resistance between swa and earth bar with and without banjo… Would you like to guess how much of a difference it made? 😂

[@samgriffiths7609]

On a side note, for smaller cables, storm glands are great as the earth nuts are designed to bite into metal housing therefore no need for banjo! 🪕

[@ursusmaritimus7159]

"Can you just"... words no-one ever wants to hear!

[@jointechcabling9103]

Normally on a friday isnt it🤣🤣

[@anthonybragg]

@@jointechcabling9103 Why its only 2 inches on the map on your way home

[@james_fein]

wheres best place to get milwakee lads?

[@tresslerj1985]

Me every 10 minutes 8:57

[@posei3960]

And a day without all the unneeded PPE is a Bonus😊

[@Mark-mv2iu]

What batteries and adapters are you using?

[@jointechcabling9103]

Its a dewalt flexvolt. I ordered the adaptor from ebay.

[@wroteboat]

there is nothing as a 5 min job

[@StubbyPhillips]

Hey buuuudy!

[@31590naujokas]

[@jasonmart1081]

You do like to moan 😝😂 I'm amazed you don't have a voltage tester and proving unit to ensure the panels and cables are dead. I know some have to be locked out before you can remove the cover, but some are just bus chambers. No torque wrench for correct tightening of the bolts/lug? I very rarely take the mimimum amount/type of tools, sods law you will need something else. 😕 Ps - Nice use of a vacuum to clean up 😉

[@anthonyglentworth3044]

Same story not Sparks ,no real understanding of theory and therefore the task.
