OK guys - we have some very talented people here and I'm hoping to bring my wiring skills up a level.
What separates amateur wiring from a pro level? One item that comes to mind - no use of Harbor Freight connectors (which I am guilt of). What else comes to mind? |

The thought of service loops got me thinking further -
For me one of the marks that distinguishes amateur from pro wiring is a pros wiring uses only the amount of wire necessary. In other words he has the confidence to cut wires to the perfect length the first time knowing that his termination technique/skill (soldering or crimping) will be right the first time. The result is a tidy looking job with all wires carrying even strain, no loops, S bends or tangled crossovers. That is what I strive for as an amateur and only achieve sometimes. |
