I have an Arrow T-something romex stapler. The inspector failed the
wiring in my garage because of it; he said the problem was they weren't
UL listed. I showed him the box with the UL label and that just ****ed
him off.

So did you have to kill him?



All the wiring was exposed and it wasn't that many staples, so I pulled
them and replaced with plastic ones. (it was easier than killing him --
or asking for a ruling from a supervisor.)

If I would have been smart, I would have only had the breaker box, one
light, one receptacle, and the welder circuit inspected. Then extended
everything and added the new circuits after he left.
