Electrical work leaves no room for poor tools — safety and accuracy come first. Here's the kit every electrician should own, built around insulated, tested tools.
Testing & measuring
- A multimeter for voltage, continuity and resistance — the most-used tool on the job. See measuring tools.
- A voltage tester / test pen to confirm circuits are dead before you touch them.
Stripping & cutting
- Wire strippers and cable cutters sized for the cable you run.
- Insulated side cutters and combination pliers.
Driving & fixing
- A set of insulated screwdrivers (VDE-rated) — never use uninsulated drivers on live work.
- A cordless drill for fixing boxes and conduit — see our drill guide.
Safety
Insulated gloves, safety glasses and a torch. Always isolate and test before working. See safety equipment.
