More Wire Nuttiness

And another thing about guys effecting their own repairs, a thing I've seen literally dozens of times over the ages. A fella might need a new three prong plug at the end of his power cord. You can buy them cheap for around five bucks at any hardware. There are even some really nice ones that might be double that. Still, cheap, right?

Yet you would be astounded at the number of people, presumably professional contractors, who will use any old piece of three wire cord with a plug on the end and tape it onto the power cord of their machine. It's more than silly, it's dangerous, to them, their equipment, and your home or business. You're best off with ground fault interrupter as it is, but at least put a decent three prong plug on the snake, for crying out loud.

Ah well. It takes al kinds I suppose.
