Those are some great finds!
Recently, I have been working with the young (mid-20s) couple across the street from us, to wire extra circuits in their garage.
Normally I don't agree to do electrical work for friends, in fact I first told him no when he asked if I could put in an outlet for a refrigerator. After thinking about it for a day we hit upon a plan. I will show him step-by-step what to do and he will pull a permit and have the work inspected.
He's smart and willing to accept direction from someone old enough to be his grandfather.
I bought some tools to make the job go smoother, as well as help him to understand how much torque to use when connecting wire to different electrical terminals.
The first image is a stubby self-feeding 3/4" auger bit.
The second and third images show 'combination bit' style screwdrivers. They make excellent connection to the terminal screws used on outlets, switches, circuit breakers, ....
The last image is an inch-pound variable torque screwdriver. This, I trust, will give my 'apprentice' the correct feel for how tight a terminal needs to be screwed down.
We are making slow progress on Phase I - dedicated GFCI outlet and a separate switched over-head lighting circuit. All run through PVC conduit.
It's fun to do this kind of project again. Now that my garage, basement, and house are updated, I needed a project.
