FWIW, utility co.'s splice aluminum service conductors and ACSR (Alumnum Conductor Steel Re-inforced) overhead service drops all the time with AL-CU split bolts and NO-OX paste (specifically "NO-OX-ID A-Special").Not only it is exposed to the elements but it's ALUMINUM which is known for corrosion issues. Should be a nice show when it fails!

But nylon zip ties? I dun thin so Lucy!
OK...help me out here.
Presumably to turn the power on and off by giving you something to grab the hole punch.Same question about the clothes pin?

It is real simple. The hole punch is used to remove the drill bit and the other item. This is to turn off the power. The cloths pin is there to hold the hole punch in place so you don't have to go find one, or a pair of pliers.OK...help me out here.
This is an electric meter box, the meter gone and the front panel for the meter ring pried back to expose it all. I see where Line1 meter in/out jaws are shorted with some object on the left and Line2 meter in/out jaws are shorted with a drill bit on the right, an obvious attempt to bypass the need for an electric meter.
Q: What role does the rusty, single-hole paper punch play? To short L1 and L2?

Youtube has a lot of videos of people in India attempting to do things. It always seems like safety and common sense don't exist in most of the vids you watch. It seems like every truck has 3 times as much of a load on it as it was designed for, every piece of heavy equipment should be run haphazardly and human life has no value. I am sure that isn't how it really is over there.....or is it?I’m in India right now and some of the stuff posted here is just normal wiring over here.
Not electrical but the waste on the sink here was leaking, the so called plumber had just replaced it the week before I got here and he had over tightened it breaking the thread. He spent around an hour trying to clamp the top and bottom parts of the waste with a wood screw, PTFE tape and a bolt. Told him over 4 times that the trap is kaput and to go and buy a new one but he insisted that it would work. Told him even if it did I wouldn’t accept it. After an hour he silently crept off, got a new one and fitted it within 5 mins.
As he was leaving I told him he could have left an hour earlier if he had listened to me an hour ago and saved both of us an hours time
