What happens here

A 4x4 metal junction box is installed on the garage wall, precisely where the main Romex wire exits the wall. A 3/4-inch Romex connector is then secured into the bottom knockout of the junction box. The Romex wire is fed through this connector and into the box, ensuring a tight and secure fit to prevent damage and maintain electrical integrity. The box is then mounted to the wall using a power drill and screws, making sure it's level using a Klein Tools magnetic level.

Goal: Mount the junction box and secure the Romex wire entry

I got it. Got it. Yeah. Just tie wraps. Tie wraps. Nice. This how you should hit your lock rings, guys. Take a flathead screwdriver and take a pair of pliers or lmans and slap it on. You know, slap it like you need. Slap it like it's your girl's booty. Cut the Bromax. I like to use a razor knife, guys. You should use a razor knife. And boom. Look at them fresh wires. Be careful with the razor knife. You don't want to cut the insulation. Make sure your boxes are grounded, guys. When you use a metal box, you have to ground it. So, I like to use a ground tail. you know, get these at Home Depot. They're already pre-made, so it's kind of nice. You don't have to, you know, finagle and make your own copper ground.
