ELECTRICAL TOOLS AND EUIMENT!S
Electrical tools and equipment’s equ ipment’s are are needed to perform our job easier and faster. Electrical task can be accomplished systematically to sae time an d effort and for safety. T"pical #liers Use$ i% House &iri%g
Pliers are made in arious shapes and si!es and for many uses. "hey are used for gripping something round like a pipe or rod, some are used for t#isting #ires, and others are designed to be used for a combination of tasks including cutting #ire.
Com'i%atio% #liers (Li%ema%!s #liers)
"his is most ersatile tool ."his is used for gripping, holding, and cutting electrical #ires and cables and een small nails. Nee$le*lo%g Nose #liers "his is use for multiple tasks. "hey are great for reaching dropped scre#s or to hold a scre# for drilling. $sed for cutting and holding fine #ires and also used in making terminal loops copper #ire
Diago%al Si$e Cutti%g #liers Is a #ire%cutting pliers. $sed for cutting fine, medium and big #ires and cables.
T"pes o+ Scre,$ri-ers Use$ i% House &iri%g &cre# driers are made of steel hardened and tempered at the tip used to loosen or tighten scre#s #ith slotted heads. "hey come in arious si!es and shape s.
#.illips Scre,$ri-er Is used to drie or fasten positie '() slotted scre#s. It is scre#drier that could take greater torque and could proide tighter fastening.
Sta%$ar$*/lat Scre,$ri-er "he blade tip is #edge shaped and resembles a negatie '%) sign. "his is used to drie scre#s #ith single slot head.

Electrical Drills a%$ 0its
Electric drills are equipment that is use to make holes in buildings structures for passage of conduit and #ires. *lso in tedious scre#ing jobs, such as in construction c onstruction or assembly.
Measuri%g Tools Tools +eices used for measuring arious electrical aspects such as the presence and amount of current, oltage, resistance and po#er through installation. Measuring these aspects is important to determine if the electrical system is installed appropriately.
Ammeters
*mmeters are electrical instruments utili!ed to measure current in a circuit. "he ealuation it does in the flo# of current is read in amps- as the unit.
Voltmeter
oltmeters oltmeters are electrical deices that measure the oltage or potential difference bet#een t#o points in a circuit. "he units of measure of o ltmeters are e/pressed in olts-.
O.mmeter
0hmmeters, #hich uses ohm as unit of measurement, are deices that measure the electrical resistance through a circuit.
Multimeter

Mult Multim imet eter er are are a popul popular ar type type of elect electri rica call meas measur urin ing g inst instru rume ment nt becau because se of its its ersatility. It #orks like an ammeter, ohmmeter and oltmeter for it can measure current, oltage as #ell as resistance. &imilar to other electrical measuring instruments, multimeter are aailable in analog and digital types.
Miscella%eous Tools a%$ E1uipme%t!s Electricia% tool 'elt "his belt has a roller style buckle #ith 1 clips. It is padded around the #aist #hich makes this ery comfortable to #ear all day long. It has plenty of pockets for all your tool needs.
&ire Strippers "his is use to strip the #ire according to its si!e, #ithout damaging its copper or conductor.
#ull #us. Roll "his is use for measuring length and distance
Sa+et" Goggles "hese are a important part of being safe on the job. I like these full shielded safety goggles because the protect from dust. Most of the time you are going to use these #hen you are cutting conduit or hammer drilling and setting concrete anchors.
Hammer 2ae a good g ood quality, 34o!. cla# hammer. 5ou 5ou #ill need this for driing staples, nails, etc
Electrical Tape Tape Eery electrical tool kit should hae at least a roll of electrical tape for insulating lie #ires.
Hac2sa, "his tool is used to cut metal conduit cond uit and armoured cables
