Now check out Trevor's October 2024 highlights!

At this job site, Trevor encountered a surprise on his way from the concrete elevator out to the top of this bin deck. Instead of the usual heavy metal doors, this one had a roll-up style door. It actually made Trevor’s job a lot easier and worked well up there! It gave lots of space to get motors and other necessary equipment in and out.

You can also check out this clip on YouTube and TikTok. Combined, it got nearly 6.4K total views across all channels!

Another popular video from October 2024 was this one, where Trevor showed off one of his favorite tools: a three-jaw puller. It combines several handy tool features, including levers and screws. Trevor uses it when working on motors and says it is worth owning in several sizes!

This one was also popular on YouTube, where it got more than 2.6K views, and TikTok. One TikTok commenter confirmed that this is a great tool — he says it turned a three-hour job into a one-hour job!
 

The most viewed clip on TikTok in October was on tips for working with limit switches. Trevor says watching a limit switch actuate is a bit nerve wracking since there’s little room for error, so he provides some tips to help make this installion easier for fellow electricians on job sites.
