 Safety tip- which cord is which?
I can't remember if I shared this tip here or not, but I picked up this idea from a common shipyard practice. When the shipyard works on our ships, they have racks of welders, cutting torches, and air manifolds stationed all over the ship. From here, gear is run to job sites. To keep track of what goes where, they tag the ends of the hoses at the manifolds so the right one can be shut off without having to trace the hose.
When I'm working, I usually have 2 router motors that I'm working with, because I hate to change bits. To make sure I plug in or unplug the right tool when I have more than one on my bench or table, I use colored tywraps. One on the cord by the motor, one by the plug. It makes identifying each one a quick and easy process.
It really comes in handy at my cordless tool charging station, where 3 chargers share 2 outlets. The blue one is the makita, the green one the hitachi.... Okay, so I am a little bit obsessive sometimes.
