Electricians, as with the other trades, require a lion's share of general use and specialty tools. Let's take a closer look at the top 5 types of tools that professional electricians customarily use on the job and should be in every electrician's tool belt.

A flashlight is one of the most essential pieces of related equipment that an electrician can carry. Even if you're assigned to a site where a flashlight may not seem important, it's still best to have one because certain situations may require some additional light to help you see. Outlets, sockets, wire boxes, conduits, and pipe are always dark on the inside. Even if the area you are working in has abundant light, you should never try to work inside tiny places or reach inside panels without proper light. Because electricians work with and carry a lot of equipment, many flashlights that electricians carry are light weight, sturdy, yet provide a bright beam of light.

Voltmeters are yet another valuable piece of equipment that electricians utilize to not only work efficiently, but also to work safely. Voltmeters are a tool that measures the electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. An electrician should never assume the circuit that needs to be worked on doesn't have electricity flowing through them. With a voltmeter, an electrician can test the circuits and see if they are in fact "live." Based on the readings made from the voltmeter, the electrician can properly and safely address the circuits and plan the best route to make necessary repairs.

A very good pair of wire strippers is also important. Wire strippers are small, hand-held tools, very similar to scissors, which are used to cut the unbound insulation surrounding the wire without actually cutting the wire itself. With the insulation removed and the wire exposed, an electrician can connect those wires to switches, conductors, or anything with requires to run on that electrical circuit.

Pliers are also a vital piece of equipment. Pliers can serve many functions for an electrician. Pliers can be used for tightening and loosening, providing much extra needed grip for the electrician, cutting blade for wires, pulling wires through locations, twisting wires, and a miriad of other functions. Pliers are indeed a very important multi-purpose tool for an electrician to have.

Draw Tape, or draw wire, is also a very important tool and electrician can have. Usually called "fish tape", draw tape is a tool an electrician would use to route guide string for new wiring through pipes, walls, or electrical conduit.

Draw tape is a long, narrow band of medium-carbon steel that's coiled, placed on a reel. Because it's made of medium-carbon steel, it can conform to the curvatures of different conduits. The draw tape works by attaching one end of guide string to the end of the draw tape. The draw tape is pushed through the conduit with the guide string attached. Once the draw tape meets the end of the conduit, the wires are tied to the opposite end of the guide sting. By pulling the guide string, this would route the wire through to the end of the conduit.

An electrician can acquire a lot of tools that are needed to complete a job over the course of his or her career. There is no doubt that these tools are the top 5 must have tools of every electrician.


An electrician's service is always being highly sought after on a daily basis. Everyone needs the services of a qualified electrician whether it is in a home environment or a more complex electrical situation within larger areas like a business premises.

Some tips to follow when finding a domestic electrician

It is not always possible to find the best person for the job, but taking some time to make a concerted effort to do so, is always going to be the best way to start. Finding the right electricians in a domestic city is not a very difficult task to undertake.

Ideally, looking out for certain qualities should take precedence when searching for a good domestic style electrician. Any qualified electrician who, if both skillful in handling all kinds of domestic electrical problems and also the one who focuses on doing it the ecofriendly way should be a good choice to look out. Electricians who use ecofriendly methods and products will help you to positively contribute and ensure that the environment stays safe.

The domestic electrician should be able to commit to the job even if it takes several days. Ongoing maintenance and repair services should be part of the package provided. The electrician should also be versatile enough to be able to handle more complicated electrical design and installation jobs. A domestic electrician who takes on too many jobs at the same time would not be able to stay focused and give complete attention to each individual job. Therefore, it is important and certainly beneficial to ask about the level of commitment the electrician is willing to extend.

Engaging a domestic electrician who is well versed in this area will ensure that the safety measures are kept in high regard. It will also decrease any possibility of facing fines, for work not complying with all safety rules. There are usually contacts of reliable domestic electricians available at local councils and also at companies that keep such contractors on their payroll. Extensive checks are usually conducted before these electricians are ready to be introduced to potential clients.

The domestic electrician should ideally be able to produce the necessary accreditation to show the relevant certified qualifications. Choosing an electrician with certified qualifications will ensure experience and capabilities in problem solving skills. The electrician is also more likely to be reliable and careful in carrying out duties if he is accredited.

With all the above information in hand, it should not be a time consuming task to find the right electricians in your domestic city.
