[TowerTalk] Kindorf and Unistrut

[Jim]

Best stuff ever made!
I use if for mounting boxes on the tower, dipole standoff arms, side 
mounting small fiberglass UHF, VHF and TV antennas.

It comes in all sizes and shapes.
The big box stores even have it, and the straps for conduit sizes. 
Plumbing and tubing straps are also available.

Also available in galvanized at most electrical supply houses. Both the 
lager and smaller stuff.

Thanks

Most likely 2 young ladies fresh from a college  on a first job and their supervisors don't know enough themselves to do any training.  Your problem seems to be in every department at the big box stores.  They make me nuts, I am always redesigning a project based on what they have, not what would do the job right.

I can never find these 'plumbers tape' type of angle irons that have holes that will match up to the U-bolts they sell. And it seems the U-bolts are too large half the time for the holes.  Seems to me that by now it would occur to manufacturers that U-bolts get used on these angle irons with all the holes so conveniently places that they would make sure the U-bolts would go through them?

So I ask, WHY? Just seems like the hardest thing I keep running into is to 'somehow' expand a bolt hole to match a bolt or U-bolt. That just isn't easy.  Maybe clamp down my drill horizontal with an auger style bit and start drilling?
