How can you install a light switch/outlet combo if you have a light switch and no neutral? Is it not possible?

If I’m not mistaken an outlet should not be fed from a light circuit. Light circuits are 14 awg and outlets are 12 awg, it’s a different matter if the light switch is to control the outlet but the circuit wiring and light switch should be rated for the amp draw

I still find new switches in new homes like this. They’re always melted or burned to a crisp

I’ve never seen someone stack loops before . Usually they will do a stab in and a loop.

Come on man you gotta have the hook going the same direction. That’s the only way it works.🤪

I use a pigtail with wire nuts. I always install metal boxes and ground it. If a device goes to ground or a wire comes loose and touches. It trips the breaker. I’ll never install the cheap plastic boxes. Seen to many devices short out and catch fire.
