PSA: My whole approach to coax pin crimping was backwards for a year
I only figured it out when a new guy in Anchorage asked why my crimps looked 'upside down' compared to the manual. Anyone else have a simple task they were overcomplicating?

Oh man, that's a classic! @thomascooper's story makes me feel a little better about my own dumb moments. Sometimes the easy way is just too obvious to see!

My first year as an apprentice, I spent probably 20 hours total fighting with wire loom tubing. I was trying to thread whole harnesses through it, getting so frustrated. My journeyman finally walked over, sliced the loom open lengthwise with a razor, wrapped it around the wires, and taped it shut. I felt like the biggest idiot on the planet. It’s crazy how you can stare right at the simple method and never see it. That Anchorage guy did you a solid.
