Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / electrician's activities | | German term or phrase: Dosenloch | Same text as my previous question. DIY is not my strong point! Any idea what Dosenlöcher might be here?
— Anbringen von Gitterträgern, Krallenklammern, Haltebügeln; Kanäle, Schlitze, Durchbrüche, **Dosenlöcher** fräsen, stemmen, schlagen,
General activities performed by electricians in the construction industry.
Thanks again |
