Electrician Quick Tip #7 Water Bottle Cable Tray Trick

Nice. Definitely going to give that a try.

I have a question for you. Can I become an electrician even if I don't the passion for it? Throughout high school I was always told to figure out what my career should be. And still to this day I don't know. At this point, rather than finding my passion, I'd settle for finding a job that can put a roof over my head.

When I started working for a grocery store as a stock boy last year (my first job at 21), I realize that I much prefer doing labor intensive task (lifting pallets for example) compared to going to college.

Honestly, the only reason I'm considering electrician is solely for the money (and not living with my parents till I'm 40). Is that alright, or should I have a passion for this kind of job?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the replies. I think when the time comes, I'll give it a shot.

Nice! That's worth a shot!!

Good idea!

Off topic but you’re a big reason Ive decided to become an electrician and I wanted to say I appreciate the content you keep putting out . All the info your channel gives has helped me so much!

Do you like fish sticks?

Hey do union electrician workers have to travel a lot? Like out of town and stay in hotels? I’m looking to get into the union and have been watching your interview prep videos.

Nice!!!

Very cool, i will use that ,,thks

Woah! 👍

Where did you get that sweet hat??? I want one

What? Where did you pick that up from? Made the same rig years ago while pulling cable over 100ft of concealed tray!! Dammit should have applied for a patient. 😣

Hard to believe so many people have never heard of this. You don’t need the hole in the top btw. Just make sure whatever you are using for a fish fits in bottle mouthpiece and tape it up.

Only if you want to... at least for the contractor I've been with for awhile. Being in Wisconsin we do alot of paper mill work. And so this contractor kinda specializes in said industry. Taking work in the customers facilities all over the country. But they always ask if id like to "money up" and go. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.

Just ran into your channel and most definitely know your tips are going to come in handy

nice hat

What kind of tape do you use?

That is genius 👏 love it!!!

Used a similar trick to fish a line across a vaulted ceiling in a large church. Had a bottle with some sand in the end as a weight and pushed it up on one side using the weight to bend the sticks at the peak and down the other side came out 3ft off my intended target. Love the water bottle trick for even suspended ceiling.
