IDEAL offers Free Twist-a-Nut™ Screwdrivers as Introductory Promotion
Grounding tails are essential components in commercial electrical wiring systems. However, their packaging has left electrical contractors with just two options: buy smaller quantities and dispose of all the packaging, or purchase bulk product in cardboard boxes.
IDEAL today introduced its new Pail-o-Tails grounding tails. This re-closable one-gallon pail consists of 500 6.5”, 12AWG solid wire grounding tails. Rugged and built to withstand the elements, the pail moves with the contractor easily from one jobsite to the next without spilling, taking up valuable space in the truck, or allowing dirt or moisture inside to damage the grounding tails. Once emptied, the pail can be used to hold any number of additional supplies.

IDEAL INDUSTRIES, Inc., one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of quality tools, connectors and testing products for the professional electrician, has engineered its Buchanan® branded B-TAP® insulation-piercing tap wire connectors to provide added durability, ease-of-installation, and maximum value to electric utilities.
Requiring only two minutes to install using a standard box/socket wrench, the B-TAP connector eliminates the need for time-consuming split bolts and tapes. Its hardened copper teeth cleanly piece wire insulation to bite into conductors for a superior connection. Grease-filled boots protect the teeth from corrosion while also preventing dangerous electrical arcing. Long lasting weather-tight protection is further assured by the connector’s self-sealing grease-filled cap.
