1. Strippers 2. 11in1 screwdriver 3. 25ft tape measure 4. Torpedo level 5. Smooth faced hammer 6. Sharpie & pencil (if you want to count these as a tool) These are the first 5(6) tools in order i would want a first day guy to show up with. 7. Linemans 8. Needle nose 9. Dykes 10. 2x 10” channel locks These are the tools I want to see after about a month. The tools I have listed are your bare minimum every day common electrician tools. Must haves.

Thanks for this. I really want to get into the trade. Haven’t had any luck with the union yet. Might go non union and enroll in the weca online self paced program.

@@macofalltrades8438 you should man! Best way to go is just getting ur ET and getting some non union experience.

[@macofalltrades8438]

@@DroTheSparky Will a company give me a shot if I just enrolled and got my ET card with no experience? Thanks man.

[@DroTheSparky]

@@macofalltrades8438 Yes they will. I started by getting my ET card and just applying after I finished my schooling. It is a little harder to get in without experience. Took me about 5 months after getting out of school to land my first job, but as long as you keep applying you'll get into somewhere 100%

I’d add the Klein digital angle gauge, excellent for conduit.

I'd love to see a power tools version

The entire first half for the right angle driver attachment was nothing but straight sexual innuendos and I’m here for it

If you're going to get a level, then get one with a dog-leg screw on it. The magnets are never as good when you are moving the pipe around.

Best of luck on getting into the union! Probably one of the biggest perks is that you won't have to drag such a huge posse of tools since the employer will supply anything above and beyond the basic tool list

[@DroTheSparky]

Thank u! I have my test on the 16th. Are u in the union ?

[@Draphilius]

@@DroTheSparky I am but not IBEW as I do general grounds/maintenance so I can appreciate the tools you use as I keep a number of them in my own toolbag. Anything beyond switching out surface stuff like a switch/outlet/fixture I leave to the sparkies! Good luck on your test!

HVAC is 100% carrying the most tools brother
