Electrical repairs and installations are impossible without tools. Electricians use them for every residential or commercial project to eliminate faults in the electrical system. RG Electric<\/a> has asked its electrical technicians about the best electrician tools, and here\u2019s what we\u2019ve got. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although electrician tool kits vary, they typically include the following six items: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, an electrician tool kit may have other additional tools, such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best and the most expensive electrician tool kit has around 70 tools, a perfect set for major professional electrical repairs<\/a> and installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to choose the best electrician tools? It depends on the electrical needs. For example, to replace the light bulb, you only need your hands, but to identify a malfunction in the wiring \u2013 you\u2019ll need a number of other tools. The six items listed earlier should be ample for a small home project. However, when it comes to a more serious problem, it gets more complicated here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two types of electrician tools \u2013 general and specialty. In addition, based on the kind of work, some are intended for repairs and maintenance, while others are designed for electrical installations and upgrades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Electricians use multiple sizes and shapes of screwdrivers to access electrical boxes sealed with screws. Electrician\u2019s screwdrivers should be insulated and featured with a phase tester. Some of our electricians say that Phillips screwdrivers and those with flat heads are a must. Others find that screwdrivers with different nozzles in a box are the best solution for every electrical job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pliers and strippers allow electricians to work with wires \u2013 twist, bend and hold them. The blades of the side cut pliers are perfect for cutting wires, while strippers help remove the insulating outer sheath from cables to attach terminals to the central core through soldering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A multimeter is a dedicated tool for every electrician. It is used to measure voltage, conductor resistance, and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a situation when wires intended for measurement can\u2019t be stripped, masters use a current clamp transmitter along with a multimeter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An electrician tool kit must have electrical tape to insulate wires or other electrical systems that conduct electricity. The tapes are made from different materials and feature thickness, color, width, adhesion strength, and temperature tolerance. The colors indicate which wires electricians are working with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Electricians prefer to use punches <\/strong>for house wiring. When cutting out the holes for outlets or switches by hand, the results are junk, and often they don\u2019t fit perfectly. But outlet punches are very convenient and can produce perfect holes in a matter of seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChoosing the Best Electrician Tools <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
