Best price for 6/3 UF-B
I need approximately 170 feet of 6/3 uf-b wire to run from my main panel to a new disconnect for a pool heater. Running conduit is just not possible for me given the obstacles. The best price I found is 1.98/foot from Wire Wire Electric Supply with free shipping. Does anyone have experience with this company or a better price elsewhere? Is all uf-b wire created equal?

There is a problem with that site.
It is always cheaper to buy a standard size coil over cut wire.
That site says $2.15 per foot for coils and $1.98 per foot for cuts.
Those prices are good but the problem is you don't know the manufacturer.
If it were me.... I'd only be burying a name brand cable like Cerrowire, Nassau, Southwire.

Then I will stick to a brand name like you suggested. These two sites obviously have "Nassau" in their name and one pic shows nassau on the wire itself but are these links truly real Nassau cable or knockoff?

What is my best bet? I doubt a screw extractor would work for such a small #6 screw.
Use a tiny metal bit and drill it, then increase the bit size gradually until it is just smaller than the #6 size, then run a #6 tapping bit in?
Or may be there is some way to mount a shallow extension ring using other holes that will give me four new mounting holes up front?
