Nearly every type of work, industry, and trade has specific or specialized tools they commonly use. Often, these are referred to as, “tools of the trade.” In many cases, such as for residential electricians (as the attached video shows), these tools can not only make the job easier, but quicker and safer too. Here is a look at the most common and must-have tools of the trade for electricians and anyone working with electrical issues.
Working with and around electricity presents real and serious dangers. That is also why testing tools such as voltage and electrical testers are essential for every electrical job. Wires are simply part of the territory when it comes to working with electricity. From cutting, clipping, crimping, and sheering tools, the right cutting tools will make all the difference in the ease of your next project.
From connectors and cable lugs to tapes and more, there are also many items an electrician may not need for every job, but will likely use and need on a regular basis. Having a supply of these accessories on hand can save time and money and make the job easier. With these tools, you can work smarter, not harder, and more safely too.
