What happens here

The video begins with an introduction to the project, which is to install two 20-amp outlets in a detached garage for power tools in a new workshop. The electrician discusses the choice of 12/2 MC (Metal Clad) cable over Romex for its superior protection and demonstrates how to prepare the MC cable using a Roto-Split tool to expose the internal wires. He also attaches a snap-on connector to the prepared cable end for connection to the electrical panel.

Goal: Prepare the MC cable and connectors for connection to the electrical panel.
