The Basic Electrical Tools
Wire strippers
Wire Strippers are used for cutting wire insulation. Generally, wire strippers are associated with electrical tools. They are commonly used by an electrician to strip wires of their insulation before electrical connections are made. These types of wire strippers are generally used on small gauge wires. Besides this, there are incision type wire strippers which can cut through heavy gauge wires with ease. A regular instrument that is used in most kitchens is cutting or slicing boards for chopping vegetables and fruits. This board is generally made up of wood or plastic materials. The best carving knife can be replaced when it becomes blunt.’’
Wire strippers are designed to cut the insulation from electrical wire. Wire strippers have two blades — one fixed, one adjustable — and are used to remove the external insulation without damaging the underlying conductor. Typically the fixed blade is used for solid wires, while stranded wire can be removed with an adjustable blade. Some strippers include a third blade, which helps strip outer jacketing.
Electrician Knife
This practical knife is a tool for an electrician. Many electricians have been requesting a knife that is frameless, lightweight, have a comfortable grip and has a large easy to open blade. With a blade of R2 grade steel and a wood handle, this knife is long-lasting and durable making it even more versatile.
The best tool for stripping wire and cutting small wires, light gauge wire. The knife is designed with a durable hardened steel blade that stays sharp. The top handle is shaped to fit the hand comfortably even when used in a hammer grip. The bottom handle is shaped to allow your thumb to rest comfortably on the bottom of the blade. Comes with a vinyl storage sheath.
Screwdrivers
Screwdrivers are one of the most basic electrical tools used by an electrician or handyman to securely fasten screws or similar fasteners. There are different types of screwdrivers for different applications. For example, Philips screwdrivers are for use in screw slots with a crosshead tip, flathead screwdrivers are for use in screws without heads, where the tip is aligned parallel with the shaft. This type is sometimes referred to as a blade-type screwdriver.
A variety of screwdrivers is essential for nearly every electrical project. A large flat-head screwdriver is useful for prying off caps and covers, a medium flat-head driver is good for larger screws, and a small flat head driver is best used for smaller screws.
Electric drill
Electric drills can help us use continuously, manually rotate the chuck to operate. Worktable type true heart speed-controlled drill, power of the best right, battery rotation positive and negative terminal voltage, make low-speed work; High speed can be at the same time, the rotation of the power is better left, positive and negative DC voltage between terminals.
An electrical drill is an important tool of the electrician, the electric wire of the building, plugging into the hole on the flat ceramic tile can wire electricity using this electrical drill.
Wirepullers
Wire Pullers provide greater ease of use than using pliers for manipulating small electrical wires. They are designed to hold several wires simultaneously and to prevent kinking from occurring from being bent at sharp angles.
The wire puller is used for pulling solid wire through conduit the electrical box or ceiling. The most common use of wire-pullers is to pull Romex cable. It has an external spring mechanism to allow the looped end of the rod to tighten around the wire inside the loop. This loop end then starts the pulling action that pulls out on the rod, which, in turn, pulls out on the wire.
