DO NOT run cables in direct contact with a wood screw (or bolt.) If there is the least jostling/vibration/movement, the screw will eventually cut through the insulation.
As an electrician I think people get too paranoid about strapping wires. How shaky is your house that thhn wire rubbing on smooth metal will cause failure of the insulator?

For that copper pipe.. you shouldn’t strap a pipe with a strap of different material. It leads to corrosion.. that strap should have been copper instead of brass
Galvanic corrosion occurs when anodes and cathodes are touching, those brass Munsen rings are designed specifically to hold copper pipe. Some plumbers used to leave an iron nail on a copper pipe, to cause corrosion so they get future work fixing a leak.
That hammer with the nail holder is a great way to make sure you never drive a straight nail again, while taking more time for each of them. Brilliant! /s

The hammer one was most telling.. like dude just flip the hammer around, put the nail on the claw, punch in the nail, then pound it in.. 🫠
Never used a wingnut screwed upside-down as
a retainer or used a half cut bottle to catch debris though.
For the same kinda person, too! 😅

@@MrTuubster interesting I have never seen it used that way
Framing hammers mostly have them. But they're more useful for starting nails above your head.
Ok, it is nuts to waste a wingnut to act as a cable holder.😅
The wing nut that didn't even hold the cables lol
Also, the cable is exposed to the sharp screw thread.
That idea is nuts

For that copper pipe.. you shouldn’t strap a pipe with a strap of different material. It leads to corrosion.. that strap should have been copper instead of brass
You can use brass on copper. Kind of expensive vs the copper straps or plastic ones though
Kris the galvanic action between copper and brass is minimal - they're fairly close on the spectrum.
@@openeyes-411 Agreed. Brass IS copper--with added zinc.
I used these straps to hang all my towel racks and curtain rods in my house. No corrosion at all so far。lol 🤣

The only thing I can add is to pre-drill small holes before you put the screws in so the wood will not split.
Not gonna lie, the inverted butterfly nut holding the two wires is actually pretty neat.
For what reason would you ever need to use that? It's like using a nail gun to hang a picture.
Dont forget to soak your handle in water for it to swell up before inseting your wedge into the head.
