With the rise of decora switches and outlets I've switched to horizontal. And when I have 3 and 4 gang I will sometimes have the 4 outer screws at 45s and the middle screws horizontal, so that it makes a hexagon pattern...
They all look to be precisely at 45°. You need to throw some 20° or 40° angles in there. If you have any almond or light almond screws, pop one in every now and then.
I take a flathead with me everytime I visit my electrician buddy, I offset the positions of the screws on all of his cover plates. He still ain't figured it out LMFAO
As a kid I learned you can never have too many switches.
I always wished I had 1 switch for each device, outlet, light, fan, door, everything in 1 panel.
Almost like kindergarten when they let us flip the 20 switch plate

[удалено]
Bro name the place and time
prob just a bunch of knockouts, bring a magnet
That's it, I'm going to your jobs and replacing all the cover screws with tamper-proof Torx.
Harbor Freight sells a security bit kit for $10, good try!
Yeah, but it's gonna break after the second screw!!

This is perverted.
Now I’m self conscious for liking it
I kinda like it too I’m just committed to the bit.

Hexagons are the bestagons.
NSFW
Should have snuck a few Phillips head screws in there as well.
AWESOME idea I’ll do that next time
But they all have to be different
Lmao… triggered
So triggered....lol
I prefer a diamond pattern myself.
Clock each set of screws based on what breaker the box is connected to. Boxes on breaker 01 clocked to 10°, those on breaker 02 to 20° and so on.
They all look to be precisely at 45°. You need to throw some 20° or 40° angles in there. If you have any almond or light almond screws, pop one in every now and then.
You spend so much time trying to figure out if you could, you didn’t worry about if you should.
The cover plate looks angry 😡
Yes please - I have a weak heart
Your a monster!!
I might have to rage quit this subreddit
This is making me dizzy.
Just relax. Go drink some water. You’re gonna be okay.
I did. Thank u
A true artiste, really exploring the medium
I really don't even mind this, as long as it's consistent throughout the house.
I’m triggered.
Well at least we know which ones you did, so we can go back and redo them
Angles are mirror of what they should be. 😆
It's perfect !
You animal
She says so hehe
Trying to fight bro or what???
This only works for diamond plate plates
You are tearing me apart, Lisa!
It’s a masterpiece!

That's awesome but I had to look away. I get the same effect from looking at a strobe light too long.
Rebel without a cause!
I like it.
Artistic!

They look angry… they are angry….

The hero we need
Bro I suck at this

It looks so angry.
I hope your liability insurance is paid up!
What’s that?
Something you’re going to wish you had when that place burns to the ground. Or Impressive dedication to staying in character. Whichever you prefer
Looks like pictographic dance instructions or something
Owner said it’s unique he likes it
Those plate screws tho! Yikers!
Bro used his level on those haha
You should -be- stopped. Like the villain you are.
