Tools. We use little spudgers, little picks for getting into hard-to-get areas where wiring is concentrated, real concentrated. We use wire wrappers to do our connections to our designated locations. We use unwrappers when we have, say disconnects for the service no longer available for the customers or he's changed somewhere else.

We use a variety of other tools, sometimes even a screwdriver because sometimes we got to the point right now where we do installations, so we have to use manual -- our manual labor for screwdrivers for mounting and screwing equipment on there.

I like working with my hands even at home. If I can, sometimes I build little wood whatever with hammers, nails, whatever.
