Snips
Snips.
Also known as Splicer Scissors. A tool carried by most telco installers. May be used to cut/strip insulation off a cable or a wire, to trim the ends of wires prior to instertion into a jack or a plug. Will cut a single 24 gauge wire, or a half inch diameter 25-pair cable.
Hmmmmm..... Looking back I see I forgot to mention running the LAN cable for the girls' room. Will have to activate the WayBack and correct that. While running the cable under the house I had laid my snips down and then crawled out. Not worth crawling 60 feet (30 in, 30 out) to recover.
Teresa to the Rescue. Besides being a super genius and a world reknowned artist, she is willing to crawl. She asked how to get the look of heavy ground in dirt on her Halloween costume. I said she could recover my snips for me. She did. She's such a sweetheart.
That's a lot of trouble just for a halloween outfit!
