Top 7 Power Tools EVERY Electrician Should Have

[@Vidsurfer555]

For everyday use i would reccomend the m12 bandsaw. I have the not fuel version because the fuel was not out at the time. I do a lot of the smaller conduits and that bandsaw has never let me down yet. Also an sds drill is a must for anchors too. Tried drilling 40 year old poured concrete cieling with a regular hammer drill. It took me 20 minutes of stuggling for one hole with an sds 10 holes in 5 min and no stuggle.

The m12 surge is a different beast

[@americanelectrician]

I need to try it. I love my regular fuel impact

[@mesohunt704]

I was die hard m18 fuel impact until trying the m12 surge. Literally got one the second I got off work that day. Still love the m18 impact but hardly ever use it anymore.

[@marcelmed4574]

Drill for going through studs, impact hands down.

[@ButterySnowBoard]

Forgot an angle grinder, more for industrial sure but useful nonetheless

[@blairwilson9272]

Hikoki make some great value SDS drills. Also M12 cut-off tool would be very handy for an electrician.

[@aodhanbermingham2679]

The 4th setting on the impacts is for self tapping screws it stops itself before you strip out the threads

How did I not know this

[@joelhall1996]

It makes life so much easier.

I prefer makita over all brands but hate the 12v line, wish makita made more or competitive products like the m12(Milwaukee). Hands down m12 is in a different level as for as small tools and verities.

[@JustTim484]

I use Metabo. Service electrician. Not enough commercial for bandsaw. Sawzall. Multi tool. Impact. 12v impact. Hammer drill. That’ll do.

Awesome Video !!!

[@americanelectrician]

Thank you!! I appreciate it man!

[@jackbachman1385]

i starting school soon for electrician or hvac still deciding which one. i already have m18 impact and drill and a bunch of batteries from my dad. Should i still with all m18 or invest in the m12. thanks for the help

[@GioMiller-v1q]

M18 can be used for more since it’s just a bit more power, can’t go wrong with M18

[@guangpingwu8135]

how come no Forcelogic knockout punch?

[@davidmeglic9428]

you forgot an angle grinder, but other than that i think its a good video

[@dmitrykudryashov2515]

I use Ryobi. Milwaukee is too expensive. Most of people I know use Makita, Bosch, Dewalt. Dewalt became very popular for last 5-7 years. Milwaukee is an expensive premium brand almost like Hilti.

[@americanelectrician]

Milwaukee isn’t nearly as expensive as Hilti. If it’s for home improvement stuff yes, if it’s for industrial or commercial heavy duty electrical work then Milwaukee is well worth the money

[@benharman7486]

If you decide to upgrade from ryobi look into ridgid. I started with ridgid to save money and I’ll be damned if every tool has held up to some serious abuse over the years. Got m12 fuel tools nowadays as well and use that nowadays more than anything but have no use for m18. If I need 18v for the extra umph ridgid has never let me down

[@jesusdelgado8487]

I am union i don’t have to buy any of these but I love them

[@keepingitmellow]

same for me. I wanna buy them for myself but really don’t need. My company provide every possible tool I need

[@toddwest6711]

Good electricians use Dewalt!😂

[@rikliu1179]

Best electricians use Milwaukee 😂

[@i_know_youre_right_but]

@@rikliu1179electricians who don’t have much experience use Milwaukee. Then after a year their drill burns out, so they switch to DeWalt or Makita and realise their longevity beats Milwaukee.

[@zachcornelius5535]

Dewalt is for wood butchers😂

[@treehugger4916]

@@i_know_youre_right_butI’ve been abusing my m18 fuel hammer drill since 2017 for work and never had a problem. Dropped it off 6 and 8 foot ladders a few times aswell

[@joelhall1996]

Idk what you are smoking but real electricians use Milwaukee.
