A complete electrician tool set is essential for the professional electrician to be able to confidently face any task that the job can throw his way. For the most basic work, an electrician should have at least a pair of electrician scissors, a wire stripper, a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. These are the foundation of the complete tool set. For homeowners who wish to solve basic electrical snags rather than call a professional, these 4 tools are usually all that are need. For professionals, however, a noticeably more extensive selection of tools needs to be at hand in order to address more complicated problems efficiently and safely.
Klein Tools offers a complete 41-Journeyman Tool Set that features quite an impressive array of electrician’s tools. The entire set contains a 12 pc ball-end hex key caddy set. These L-shaped keys are made from corrosion resistant steel alloy. The ball-end keys can be used up to a 30 degree angle for a more versatile tool. It also has a pair of Journeyman Long Nose Pliers. These pliers are the tools that Klein Tools is famous for. These are made from US-made tool steel. These pliers feature hot riveted joints that offer a smooth and wobble free clamping action. The slim heads of the pliers allow greater reach and more ranged even in confined spaces. It also has a greater than average weight to provide more cutting power. Another major tool in the set is the 8 inch adjustable Klein Wrench. With its precision-machined jaw mechanism, this alloy steel tool has a wider than normal capacity in order to accommodate much larger grips. This allows it to handle a larger variety of jobs that would normally require larger wrenches.
