    I spent time searching the site before hand. I will simply take 3 different colours when I next go along with a load and inquire about the different colours. Or of course, my uncle is a electrician, maybe he would know?

    # 1 is no mistaking it, it is clean with substance not the thin flimsy , #2 is still good money, any way If you had a 100 pounds of #2 @ $3.35 #1 will be like $10 more dollars . Now if your dismantling motors it will happen but you got lots of motors to go till 100lbs
