10 Best Tools for Electricians

love these. the range is nice and theyre very comfortable to use. really useful that the symbols for the type of screwdriver are on the handle. makes it much easier when i need to grab one quick.

Very comfortable set of screwdrivers. I have had these for a while now and very happy with them! When the time comes I will be buying them again.

Im a house basing spark so I use these more or less everyday and I think they are a Really good set. Good quality durable and reliable All round decent screwdrivers for day to day use. Had a set of wera drivers but I think these wiha ones are better

Love this set. Readily available and lovely to use

Comfortable and slim it is an unbeatable set for the price and use ability.

a New tool bag will always have a fresh set of these in it.
Lovely.

Been using side cutters for years and had a go of these in work. They are good value for money and work well but not sure I would be able to give up the side cutter and use there on every job. They are a good addition to the tool bag

While using another brand these broke, so decided to purchase these wire strippers. These are the best wire strippers I have used in ages.
The build quality is spot on, they feel great in your ands and the ease of stripping cables.
I will not be going back to any other wire strippers.

The only down side to them is the crimping part on the handle, these do not really work that well if you need to crimp at a height when working. It is a bit of a challenge to get the wire crimped

Have recommended these to colleges and they are purchasing these after having a go on mine.

These can be fiddly to use and when using to second fix accessories as they dont fit all the way in to the box to strip. Other brands have trumped Ck with the pass through design allowing you to get right into the box to strip the sheathing off

This is an ok tool. Its fine for second fix works when consistent repetitive works are required like fixing a lot of down lights. The build quality is ok but may not last with a lot of use.

Really easy to use and nice and bright green beam. Seems to go through batteries quite quickly but it’s great value for money! I like that it comes with a magnetic bracket as well so it sticks well to those angle beads!

Good value (2) laser level. I think about90% of trades use this particular one. Would be nice to have a third beam as with some and it eats through batteries so quickly. Super good for what its designed to do though

Used the red laser for years then decided to make the jump over to a green one and can say Im well impressed. Can see the laser clearer and even more prominent in well lit rooms

What did we do before laser levels! haha seriously though I couldn't do without it now, it's almost replaced my spirit levels. I use it alot for keeping a level line while tiling.

Love this tester. As an electrician I wouldn’t be without it. Easy to use. Auto sets between ac and dc so no having to switch it yourself. Open jawed clamp too so no having to try open up the clamp and try squeeze it round cables in a tight space

I like the way that the red probe can be held I. The housing while operating it. Other brands you need to be an octopus to use. Decent little unit, saves time carrying big tester in and I like how voltage is numerically displayed rather than just an LED with a roundabout figure

Brilliant little tester. Much easier than unpacking the multimeter. Seems to give reliable results too. Well built and solid construction. Although the leads can be annoying as they dont pack away.

Great piece of kit I use this when I can not be bothered to unpack my multimeter. I like the ease of testing with this piece of equipment and usually a great price for what it is

The usual quality you would expect. Surprisingly light and well balanced. Unlike multi tools of other brands I have used, this cuts well and seems to have all the power needed for the applications I’ve needed it for. One small point is when changing blades if you have the battery in place. Be carful not to grip the switch as you un clip the blade from the holder, it’s easily done. But highly recommend you get one of these if you don’t have one, it really does have multiple uses.

Can be a little bulky with a 4ah battery on but is a great bit of kit. I had been putting off getting one for ages as did not think I would get use out of it but now it's always to hand in the van ready to go. Well worth the money

As a general rule DeWalt are my main platform for power tools, but the multi tool is possibly one the best tools in their range. I’ve tried other brands, but this multi tool is so well balanced in your hand and cut very well too.

Just bought this and absolutely luv this. This is my new addition to my Dewalt family . This was all down to you guys for advice on this great machine.

I've had it a few years now and it never lets me down. Plenty of chiselling and been used a few times to drill 24mm holes through brickwork just fine.
Also great when I was taking tiles off the bathroom wall.

Bought this drill a few years ago, used it for a few months (mainly 6mm an 8mm holes) and it broke so I got it fixed, the crankshaft snapped, then a few months into the new part and if broke again, haven't heard much good stuff about these sds drills but I found out myself it is scrap and a waste of money.

Such a great ads drill, I only use dewalt and this is a great addition to the collection. I havent found anything it cant go through. I would highly recommend to any trade.

It's a solid sds drill would recommend to anyone looking to buy an sds. Bought as a set with impact and hammer drill would highly recommend on price

Spent the past few days with the Wiha Speede2. This screwdriver is literally a game changer. With 2 different torque settings of 0.4 Nm and 1.0 Nm, you have the ability to do up cable terminals and screw face plates up quickly with the knowledge you’re not damaging them.

As a sworn user of the speede, this was a natural upgrade.
Wow what an improvement, the speede2 has more power and a better light.
I suffer with bad joints and this enables me to carry on working, I use my speede2 on every job and can't imagine life without it now.

Firstly I love the speede and the speede 2 is a great upgrade on the original one. Obviously it's a lot of money but I use it everyday on just about every job. The light is a massive improvement on the speede 2. I will however say that my first one went wrong within a month but the replacement I've had seems to work great. The battery doesn't last along as the speede1 but I'd imagine that's because it's got more torque so using more battery power.

Really enjoying using the speede ii. Makes second fixing a breeze. Great for sockets etc as well as consumer units. I feel that the way the blades fit into the unit itself could be improved with a physical lock. The light function is very useful, however I wish there was a way to turn this off to save battery when it is not needed. Battery life is pretty good, and the batteries charge quickly.

A fantastic DAB radio I use it on site and at home in the shed and garden. Having been kicked over and dropped several times it still works perfectly

Great dab radio. It’s good bass very well built. It’s very loud. Compatible with battery but you can’t charge your battery when plugged into power outlet. Reasonable price. Doesn’t easily interfere. Perfect site radio.

Great product first thing to be turned on in the morning and last to be turned off, every site needs one, strong build quality, gas been dropped plenty of times over the last few years but still going strong.

Awesome radio had mine for over 5 years and still going well I upgraded to new makita dab radio but that sits in garage until old one gives up

I’m now on my second one of these. After 3 years of almost being used everyday the chuck mechanism broke so I got another as I find them a nice size and they are strong. I like the lights on the from t for when your in a dark area. Dewalt is my go to range for power tools. I would highly recommend.

Been very swayed by the quality of De Walt now. Given these drills some real mistreatment but they still perform excellently. Slightly slow to charge but hold the charge well for days. Now let's just see De Walt bring out some awesome extras like Radio and Kettle. (Decent ones!) Also its great having the T Stak element to their storage boxes. Much easier than the old bosch ones to stack and get apart!

Great quality build, bought with a set of brushless impact, sds and hammer drill. Phenomenal price bracket highly recommend to anyone looking to start out in a trade

Decent driver,still works perfect after a few years and I've abused it, even used it with the adapter and undone 24mm bolts on pipework works well

I Purchased the torque driver on its own, it certainly does the job and I got it to work with my speede.
The only thing I dont like about it is you have to remove the tool holder and use another tool to change the torque settings which makes the whole process seem cumbersome. The bit holder holds by pushing by clipping the end forward and holds well, what I did find is when I have to pull the holder out to change the torque setting the end seems to be the natural place and I always end up releasing the driver bit.

Recently purchased this screwdriver set , ideal carrying pouch with the set , easy to use and easy to change over bits , has a good feel to it but not so handy carrying the whole set in your pocket .

Love this set as a sparky you got to have torque screwdrivers these days and I really trust this set I would like to upgrade to the electric version as the bits crossover nicely

Decent screwdrivers, not the cheapest torque screwdriver available but not the most expensive either. Not the most user friendly adjusting system but it work and is not difficult. I also like the shape of the Wiha handles.

Simply simply another great product from Superod whick stand out from anything else as I’ve several other brands snap or ware away and getting cut from the frayed fibreglass.
They screw together with ease and vey reliable if tightened correctly.
The various attachments are great like the magnetic end, hooks and the cable pullers are brilliant saving time taping on cables.

CK tool Mighty rods are better they don't splinter, they can hold more weight, they are a lot cheaper and probably best of all they are from a supplier that i trust with great customer service

I have been using these for a few years now and would not be with out them. Good selection of different flexible rods and attachments. Highly recommend

Treated myself to a set of these after every Sparky raving on about them. Really pleased I did as they work amazingly well on most jobs. Strong, bendy and no fibreglass shards ripping into your hands when pulling. Been using these for 4 months, brutally and no damage done, yet. Would recommend highly.
