Hello
So, I recently came across a video of someone rewiring his tools as the cables took up too much room, and he now uses a quick connect system. My first thought was is this a good idea, would I be able to trim down all my wire tools, and put a quick connect system on it, and allow all the tools to work via 1 main long cable, but the tools would only have about 2 ft actually usable instead of about 2meters or more.
I then googled this, and found another guy who had a quick connection but lockable (at least that is what I gathered from the video), so, I thought, okay, so, if this is an option, I could get a reel of cable, connect a quick connection system to this, and have a safety easy press shut off power button that can be easily used. I am thinking I can put the quick safety switch near where I am working, so any bump from me = no power.
I built a BBQ outdoor kitchen last year - it took me almost the whole year to do it but I did do it. I am disabled and slow, so it takes me forever to do a simple DIY job. This is why I think this could be a good idea, but I am unsure what you guys think of this, is it more a failure waiting to happen, should I try and stick to the cables provided by the manufacturer?
An other quick question, most of the tools (most importantly, a Dyson vacuum to clean the car) I could take to the store and cut down to size, to a point that I can then use the wood cut down to size, I can finalise the size at home, its just away to get some of the big sheets or plywood to 2x4's. I have a car plug power switch so I can have my machines keeping me alive if I fall asleep in the car, but that is 240v, on the plug on some tools and car cleaning stuff, says 250v, so it didn't work for those devices unless we were doing it wrong (plugged in when cleaning the cars and no power) so I checked tools and those of 250v didn't work.
