Yeah they are essentially like an extra sock over your foot for extra warmth & insulation from the outside elements. The bonus is that they are absorbent to keep your actual foot less wet, so break times when you sit your feet can often get cold because of dampness and not moving! When your feet are less wet, it is easier to get back up and going to a better warmth. Further, they were quite comfy over time as it protects your feet from rigid boots 👍 becoming-an-electrician.com/

What names are you referring to?

A lot of times you'd use your plug tester gently to swivel the plug straight it if was twisted! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Plug tester. Maybe something i should get. Thanks! I'm not an electrician. Just someone with lots curiosity.

@@Specter1031 Yes, not only will it tell you if proper connections, but a lot of electricians use the plug tester to swivel the plug back straight GENTLY 👍 becoming-an-electrician.com/

I would recommend not skipping forward, as I explain important step-by-step how to splice wires, and how to prevent damaged wire splices by not scoring the wire with wire strippers. Thanks for pin-pointing the timestamp for others for reference! becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-splice-wires-as-an-electrician/

Yes, it is construction work. You will need to carry your tools, ladders, materials etc. Many times if something is very heavy you will get helper or heavy machinery to lift such heavy object to certain floors, etc. It keeps you in shape 🙂 becoming-an-electrician.com/

It is best to reach out to a college on how to get started! Yes, you can achieve your goals! - Get your research from local college, then make your decision from there! Many times there are grants, too! becoming-an-electrician.com/

@@BecomingAnElectrician can i come to Canada doing this apprenticeship

@@Haithemenglish You would have to apply for immigration and follow the proper steps. I would first find where you are moving, then contact a local college for the step-by-step procedure of how to become an electrician in Canada with immigration: becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

I'm not sure of an answer... my guess is you will have to try and find slim switches, or built out the wall 👎

I'd say first see if your school has a program to get you started doing your apprenticeship during school. That will save you a year, and get you ahead faster. If they don't offer that, maybe look for a high school that does. If not, then I would say in your last couple months of high school you can start reaching out to electrical employers with a resume telling them you're eager to start learning the trade! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Nice tips! The dedicated reamer was always a more robust solution. The screw-on reamer also made your regular screwdriver heavier, and reduced its reach, such as if you're working in a panel! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Yeah go and reach out to a local college. They will provide you all information on how to get started with your electrical apprenticeship in Canada! You may find my free 5 Tips Electrical Apprentice book helpful to have a better electrical apprenticeship mindset!: becoming-an-electrician.com/optin/5-tips-apprentice-electrician-book/

Here's an interesting article for you: diy.stackexchange.com/questions/181393/can-you-mount-a-plastic-junction-box-to-metal-studs In short, you must always look at the product's specifications of what its been approved for. The spec sheet is typically pretty clear! You can look up "Product Name Spec Sheet", and you'll often find a direct .PDF to get you going!

You're welcome. This is the typical way an electrician splices wires. Sometimes they just use the wire nut to tighten the splice, but this is poor practice, as it's not as tight as actually using your pliers. becoming-an-electrician.com/

Agreed! They are loose feeling. I also like how they protected my shirts over the years because the front bib acts as an extra layer!

Thanks for your comment! - becoming-an-electrician.com/

You can challenge the exams if you have the hours I think.. but typically you go to school for the 9-10 weeks (about 3 months), then go back to work for each level until you get your official ticket: becoming-an-electrician.com/

@@BecomingAnElectrician thanks man

@@BecomingAnElectriciancould i just stay in the apprentice level 1 not go to school or take the exam ？

@@user-zain827 That's right, but you will want to go to school eventually so you can get your raise to make more money! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Oh ya those are light and handy! Thanks for sharing!!

This usually happens when the pliers are brand-new, the grips are very prominent. Overtime the pliers won't leave the harsh marks. What's more concerning is if you score the wire, such as if you use too small of a wire stripping gauge. If you really wanted, you could try taping the plier grips, or just use them for other tasks to dull the grips a little bit. becoming-an-electrician.com/

I have another question, whenever I use a wire stripper on a, let's say a no.14 AWG wire and use the same measurement on the wire stripper, it always leaves a small "cut" at the point where the insulation and copper wire is stripped, my current workplace is kinda strict on this kind of things as they demand that all electrical splices should have very few/no marks at all.

@@JamesB-oh6py It sounds like you are using the wrong size hole when stripping (make sure you're using solid for solid, and stranded for stranded). If you are using the right size, maybe try not squeezing as hard. You can always pull the insulation off with pliers too if you're very concerned. If you do make score marks, it is bad, and significantly weakens the copper electrical wire! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Hey, if you have questions, you can leave them on my blog and I'll answer you!: becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

If you have a good splice, with no copper exposed, tape is not needed. Using tape is not bad, and it does improve the secureness of the splice. For example, let's say the splice would be near a vibrating machine, you may want to tape CLOCKWISE so the splice remains tight due to vibrations. In normal situations, taping is not required. becoming-an-electrician.com/

You are looking for "Construction Electrician" type of schooling to work locally for both Residential and Commercial buildings as an electrician. My free apprentice electrician book will give some insight, too: becoming-an-electrician.com/optin/5-tips-apprentice-electrician-book/

In this case, it sounds like you will first start working! Then after about 9 months, you will book your schooling, which lasts about 3 months (9~ weeks), then you go back to work for another year, then back to school. It's nice to time school around winter time! You can read some more on my blog post: becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

Hey, what are the new changes happening about schooling? That's twice today I've been notified about that! During my years, pre-apprenticeship gave you 1st year & some hours. (Sometimes they'd help you find work, too!) I don't think it matters if you're union or non-union, your hours will apply to your apprenticeship. Usually you work about 9 months, then go to school for about 3 months (~10 weeks). It's best to time it to go to school in the winter so it's warm 🥶 Please leave a comment on this page here, you can also read other's questions, too!: becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

@@BecomingAnElectrician hey so as of what I know something along the changes being on September 1 for skilled trades Ontario there changing the curriculum and adding an extra level it’s on there website for the new agreement

@@motivationalquotes3984 Hey, here's the update I found: www.skilledtradesontario.ca/wp-content/uploads/1970/01/Notice-of-change-Electrical-Trades-309A-309C-442A-Curr-Dec-20th-2023-English.pdf It looks like an updated curriculum, and only at level 4 it differentiates for Industrial to Construction Electrician (Residential / Commercial). I'm not sure how this effects previous years of schooling, the .pdf is pretty in-depth

I would say first look into how you can keep your hours of your current apprenticeship in France, and when you move to Canada, if you can keep or transfer those hours to save yourself from having to redo such time! First figure out where you want to move in Canada, then contact a local electrical college about moving your electrical apprenticeship to Canada! becoming-an-electrician.com/immigrate-to-canada-as-an-electrician/

@@BecomingAnElectrician i have already done a 4 year apprenticeship here and i’m an employee now so do you think i need to do an apprenticeship again in canada or i can find a work directly and learn the code changes with my boss only ?

@@jlntmzkkks Many times you can bring your ticket, but you must follow certain rules. So definitely contact a local electrical college and ask about how to honor your out of country Electrical Ticket. You may have to write a test.

@@BecomingAnElectrician okay thanks and thanks for your good videos

@@jlntmzkkks You are welcome! I have many free training series on my website, too!: becoming-an-electrician.com/free

I cannot speak if there is demand, it is really based on the economy and if lots of building is happening.. but typically work is found. I'm not sure about Saskatchewan electrical as I've never worked there, but the information shared in my video will typically apply to an electrical apprenticeship in Canada. It's not so much of a diploma that you complete once, an apprenticeship is typically a back and forth process of going to school, then going to work, then back to school until you finish your Red Seal in Canada. becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

To become a residential / commercial electrician, typically you want to look at "Construction Electrician" type of courses. Power engineering I think would be more on the engineering side, like prints & creating distribution systems.. not actual hands-on work as a real electrician. becoming-an-electrician.com/

It is a bit heavy on math, but once you learn the core formulas, you will be able to follow along pretty well. It's not as intense as something like calculus, but there's Pythagorean theorem, basic multiply / divide, understanding electrical science, and sometimes things like Horse Power, and other things. But you will learn it in school as you go along. On the jobsite, the math isn't required as much as you may think, as a lot of that is figured out from the electrical engineer who designs the prints, we just follow the prints. But in school, yes there is lots of math, but it's not super intense math, but intermediate. becoming-an-electrician.com/

There are machines to strip wire if you're looking to recycle the copper for money. If not, you can use the bare bond wire #14 in the #14/2 NMD ? Otherwise, you should be able to strip a decent amount each time. Be careful with the razor blade.. becoming-an-electrician.com/

@@BecomingAnElectrician like expensive machines or those hand ratcheting splitters?

@@frostyxmeboi8878 Haven't seen the hand ratcheting splitter you mentioned. But you can look up "wire insulation stripper machine". You feed the wire in and it removes the wire insulation to expose the bare wire if you are recycling, you will get more money back. becoming-an-electrician.com/

Not meant for a retro-fit. Meant for initial install. Also hard to remove if you ever want to remove it in drywall stage, but the box is very secure 👍 becoming-an-electrician.com/

You'd be surprised the lack of education & training on a jobsite... too much rushing, not enough time to slow down and break down the basics. Splicing wires takes years of hand strength to get really good at splicing. becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-splice-wires-as-an-electrician/

Yes, both the plastic and rubber are designed to protect from shock.. rubber is more common. If you cut just the hot wire, you will not see the arc (spark). If you cut both hot & neutral, you will get the bang, and destroy your cutters.

​@@BecomingAnElectrician Sounds wild! Is there any other safety equipment? looking forward to hearing about safety topics in your new video.

@@hazelpark8752 Basic P.P.E are your boots (rubber soles), safety glasses, gloves.. and serious stuff are things like Arc flash suits. becoming-an-electrician.com/

Hey good stuff! Have you found work as an electrician in Canada? becoming-an-electrician.com/

Both of the two levels I showed in this video are excellent levels for construction electricians who bend EMT Pipe, as their magnets are strong. The Klein Tools one I would agree is superior. Previously it used to be much more expensive, but cost is similar to that Empire one.. so if you can find the orange Klein, that's what I think would be best! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Yeah the thin insulation can give you a strong vibration, but they are more nimble to get into places. I preferred the thick insulation on side-cutters, and the thin insulation on the pliers. becoming-an-electrician.com/

Just contact your local electrical college, they will break down everything for you for apprentice electrician school requirements. Since things change so fast, I can't provide step-by-step info. becoming-an-electrician.com/
