If you are an electrician you know what tools are most important for your job, below we will outline what those tools are and how they are used in the electrical field.
- Label Machine - this item works great to label the wire while working on the job, it will also help the home owner identify wires if need be.
- Volt Meter - this is used to find out how much voltage is flowing through the wire, it is important because some items need to be a certain voltage to work
- Fish Tape - sometimes you have to snake wires through an area that your hands may not reach, this comes in handy as it allows you to connect it to the wire thread it though the area without losing it
- Exchangeable Screwdriver - you should always have a screwdriver handy and one that has exchangeable heads is the best kind to have (this also makes a great gift for anyone)
- Linesmen Pliers - great to use when you need to twist and manipulate wires, this allows you to be precise when working on a project.
- Circuit Tester - The most important tool would be the circuit tester, this will test to see if there is a live current running though a terminal, reduces the risk of electrocution
- Wire Strippers - these allow you to cut through the wire outer casing without cutting the wire, they can do double duty as wire cutters also.
Any one of these tools can also be great to have in your home toolbox, you never know when one of them can come in handy around the house.
