Hi,
To isolate ground wire. I often do that when I am using my O'scope for
certain measurement.

Got into a box of extension cords today. Found an old outside 110 2 wire
one. Is there any reason to keep this???

What can you do with 110v 2 wire extension cords?

Same thing that has been done with them for decades, extend cords.
Especially useful for lights and double insulated tools. You can even use it
inside the house.

Use them for double-insulated electric tools and Christmas lights. The
problem with some tools and lights, though is that they may have the
one-blade-larger plugs that won't fit an older two-wire extension cord.
I've noticed that some Christmas light strings have the wider blade,
some don't.

Troubleshooting electrical problems in vehicles. Clip it to the battery
and you will have a known +12 or a known ground for your test light.

The new plugs will fit the older cords if you grind down the polarizing
plug.

A Dremel tool works swell for this.

So does an ordinary hand file. Voop voop--done.

Not that simple. You need a permit first, the work must be done by a
licensed professional and you have to file a plan to dispose of the copper
filings in a safe manner. Finished cord must be inspected by the same
outfit that applies the mattress tags.

I was asked by a friend to help with some electrical problem at a
rural retreat center were I was attending a conference. The friend
lived nearby and was familiar with the staff of the center which I was
not. After poking around at the problem for a few minutes I found the
cause and decided that the entire circuit had to be rewired. As we
were walking towards the workshop to see what might be available for
tools. I complained that I hated working with other peoples tools
because they never have exactly what I think I need to do the job and
I finished up by saying that I bet there wasn't one pair of dikes in
the whole place. My buddy chuckled and said "I can assure you there
are several sets of dikes here." It took me several additional steps
to realize what he was trying to tell me. It then took me several
minutes to compose myself so I could resume work.

I have cable cutters for that. I have flush cutters too
and they have nothing to do with toilets.

Well, you can't put round peg into a square hole. So, I
hope you can find a pair of round diags.
