Tools of the Trade

Digital Multimeter

Measure voltage, resistance, and continuity with a correctly rated meter; verify operation on a known source before and after testing.

Clamp Meter

Measure current around a single conductor without disconnecting it; follow the meter rating and safe-work procedure.

Non-Contact Voltage Tester

Perform a quick preliminary voltage check; it does not replace verifying absence of voltage with a properly rated meter.

Insulated Screwdriver Set

Tighten and loosen electrical terminals using tools with insulation suited to the work; insulated handles are not a substitute for de-energizing.

Wire Stripper and Cutter

Cut conductors and remove insulation cleanly without nicking the conductor.

Fish Tape

Guide conductors through conduit and enclosed pathways without damaging the wire jacket.
