SCC provides this information as a guide. It is not meant to be an all-inclusive listing of tools, equipment, etc. needed for every job. Always ask your foreman or supervisor if any special items are required for the job you are assigned to do. Make sure all tools and equipment are in safe operating condition by inspecting them prior to first use. Look for obvious signs of damage and replace item(s) when necessary to avoid injuring yourself and other electricians on the job.

Seasoned electricians know quality tools are worth every extra dollar you pay. The right tool also makes your life easier by reducing task time and frequent tool replacement cost. If you are serious about your work, invest in professional quality tools!
