Recorded at PIPELINE™ 2025, electrician and business owner Colin Connolly, better known as @Colin.Does.Electric, joins Noah, a Milwaukee Tool product manager, for a practical conversation about electrical accessories, jobsite workflow, and the role professional feedback plays in product development.
Colin shares his perspective from residential and commercial electrical work, including repetitive wire preparation, threaded rod assembly, prefab operations, and electrical installation and demolition. The conversation examines where accessories such as the Nut Runner, solid wire stripper, and wire nut twister may fit into an electrician’s workflow, particularly when space, fatigue, consistency, and productivity are part of the job.
They also discuss an important balance for the next generation of electricians: learning core hand-tool skills before relying on solutions designed to simplify repetitive tasks. Colin explains how his approach to choosing tools has changed since becoming a business owner, why every purchase needs to serve a practical purpose, and how online trade communities can create opportunities for continued learning.
The episode offers a firsthand look at how electricians evaluate new solutions, how field feedback informs product development, and why understanding the work remains essential as tools and accessories continue to evolve.
