So youre a qualified electrician. What now? Well, many electrical contracting companies and certainly if youre self employed will require you to purchase and own your own tools of the trade. During your electrical training your course provider will have touched on what the standard and indeed the most useful tools to own are to support you in your role following your Electrician Training Courses.

The electrician’s trade requires use of a range of hand and power tools and instruments. Usually an electrician will have a personal set of hand tools and general-purpose test instruments, with the more costly power tools or instruments provided by the employer or business. Some are used as part of electrical training on an electrical course.

Some of the more common tools are:

Pipe and tube bender, Lineman’s pliers, Diagonal pliers (also known as side cutters or Dikes), Wire strippers, Cable cutters, Highly leveraged pliers for cutting larger cable, Rotosplit, Multimeter, Step-bit, Cord, rope and/or fish tape (Used to ‘fish’ cables and wires into and out of cavities),Crimping tools, Insulation Resistance Tester and Knockout punch for punching holes into sheet metal to run wires or conduit. These are not all essential as discussed during your electrical course.

Other general-use tools with applications in electric power wiring include screwdrivers, hammers, reciprocating saws, drywall saws, metal punches, flashlights, chisels, adjustable slip-joint pliers and drills, Ground Fault Indicator Tester and Test lights. Specialist tools are often explained as part of an Electrician Training Courses.

Even after your electrician course is complete. Many training organisations such as Delta Electrical Training have qualified lectures on hand for advice and guidance. Where appropriate other electrical training courses may be available to offer additional support and guidance in your new role.
