Just realized I was stripping wire with the wrong notch on my strippers for 5 years
Was on a job at a house off Maple Street in Portland last week and a kid helper pointed out I was using the 12 gauge notch for 14 gauge wire. My cuts were always a little jagged but I figured that was normal. Anyone else have a basic tool habit they did backwards forever?

Switched my tape measure hook direction last week and felt like a genius idiot.

Did the same thing with mine. Made inside cuts way easier to read without having to flip the tape around.
