Most Powerpole wiring uses thin-gauge wires such as 18 to 14 gauge, which won't be stiff enough to let you just push the connector into the housing. In these cases, I use a small flat-head screwdriver to push the connector in. There is no need for that special Powerpole tool, a simple screwdriver head will work well. Thanks for this video, Bill. I forget that many have not tried their own powerpoles yet.

Dennis! Aww, Man . . . See you've gone and done it. You're are gunna make me talk about the "tool", lol. Yes, Sir. You are absolutely correct. I figured I would start out with a basic demonstration and explanation. I have used the tool and the small screw driver. I'll save my opinion on either until an upcoming video. I appreciate you stopping, watching, and jumping in with a comment. See you out there. 73 de Bill

It's cooling off at night in the desert. I will be really glad when the high temps are consistently under 100 degrees.

Douglas! Thanks for coming in. You are right. I can do 100, during the day, in the shade with no problem. Can't wait for 70 and below at night, lol. See you out there. 73 de Bill
