Good vid bud, big fan of short-form, to the point stuff like what you put out

Thank you, I appreciate that. I try not to waste peoples time with fluff.

Very well done, and I agree with the industrial outlets even for home use. We do a lot more plugging/unplugging of devices now that we all have to have tablets, laptops, cell phones, etc. with their own chargers, and those cheap outlets don't hold up as well.

Very Good point, I didn't think about the amount of use and outlet gets in our electronic world these days. Thanks for your input. 👍🏼
