Classified Breakers
I'm sure there are other opinions, but I love my new classified breakers. I picked up a batch on Friday, and got around to cleaning the trailer today, and reorganizing. I had a whole shelf and a half dedicated to breakers. And I have cleared nearly 1/2 of that with these new breakers. For every GE, ITE, HOM and CH, I can carry just 1 CL.
Of course I still carry the bolt-ins and QO types, but man, I can now cram other useless junk onto my new found shelf space.

That's it! But I got these as a bargain, I'm affraid I won't get this again. Do you know of a source I can order them online for cheap? I live here in podunk-ville. The nearest place to me that carries them has them for $20 for a single pole. Not bloody likely I'll be buying at that price.

I don't know. I don't order online, unless it's something real special that I need overnighted.

Mine, or his? Seems like most of our work is within a 10 minute radius of the shop.

Both, It just seems like if inphase is towing a trailer to jobs they are not around the corner. I am in an area where there are quite afew suppliers and not much need for carrying a lot of stock on the truck or towing a trailer.

I work in Atlanta and podunk Alabama. In Atl I have no problem with supplies. In Ala I have only the local hardware stores, which are way over priced and have very little of what a real electrician actually uses. Try finding a bond bushing at Elmer's Country Store and Hardware!
So, I drag a trailer with all kinds of tools and stock, because the nearest Home Ripoff or supply house is 50 miles away in Tupelo, Ms. There is a Wesco about 20 miles from here, but they want $20 for a single pole GE breaker, or $5 for a receptacle, etc.
