Inside an Electrician's Toolbox
The level of superiority of an electrician can be told through a glance at the content of his tool box. Upon invitation, his tool box will be equipped with right tools and equipments ready to deliver. There is a number of advancement in the various electrician tools that are available today. In this article I base my focus on these tools and their use, just in case you need them yourself. It is however important for you to acknowledge. Electrician tools are grouped into hand tools, power tools and testers, and finally safety equipments for precautions. The current hand tools are very basic but they are better as compared to the earlier models and are even easier and comfortable to use.
As mentioned hand tools are the basic tools of an electrician which will enable him to carry out his duty smoothly. Such tools include screw and nut drivers which are available in ranging shapes and sizes and also operate with diverse kinds of fasteners and applicators; measuring devices attached to their belts as most electrical work involves measurement; Fish-tapes which are needed to install a fresh electrical system through walls and electrical medium and Fish poles assist which assist in hauling down wires from the ceilings or beneath the raised floors; Wire Stripper used to strip the insulation covers from wires; Pliers to hold items firmly whenever bending, cutting or any physical compression and are mainly classified into side-cutting pliers and long-nose or needle-nose pliers; Labelling gadgets which are available in wide range such as rack and panel, specialty and facilities labels and frame ID cable markers Voltmeter which is used in checking voltages and ascertain whether the wiring is in fine state or faulty; any tradesman will have a hammer so don’t be surprised if your electrician has one.
Power tools can either be using battery or being powered by an electrical motor through fuels, air pressure, wind or hydro-means. These power-tools are further grouped into portable, stationary or hand held. Examples of such tools are drills and saws.
It is important for an electrician to have all safety equipment needed for every job, for instance, he needs gloves for covering his hands, safety glasses to protect his eyes from any solid or dust particles, dielectric footwear which are usually made of non-conductors of electricity and an apron. These safety equipments are of paramount value to the safety of any electrician and you can definitely judge your electrician from such tools. If he does not have such equipments, he may never be a professional.
With all these range of tools, professional electrician is best suited to handle your electrical services. You stand to correct me if I’m wrong, you don’t have search tools and if you do, I bet you don’t know how to use them. It is also dangerous for you to do anything electrical by yourself regardless of how simple the work may seem. As the saying goes, give Caesar his dues; don’t take unnecessary risks, always call the expert.
