Important tools for electrical installations

To safely and professionally perform electrical installations, appropriate tools are necessary. The following tools are particularly important:

Wire stripper: An essential tool for electricians, it cleanly removes cable insulation without damaging the conductors. Modern models allow diameter adjustment.

Side cutters: Used to cut wires and cables precisely. High-quality blades stay sharp even with frequent use.

Insulated screwdriver: A critical safety tool with insulation to protect against electric shocks. Available in various shapes and must provide up to 1000 volts insulation.

Voltage tester: Detects voltage before work begins. Some models just indicate presence, others give exact values.

Crimping pliers: Securely connects terminals and connectors with minimal force. Available in various types for different sizes.

Multimeter: Measures voltage, current, and resistance. Modern digital versions also measure temperature and capacitance.

Cable knife: Perfect for stripping thick cable jackets. Special blade minimizes conductor damage.

Phase tester: Lights up when voltage is present—ideal for quick checks.

Cable ties and clamps: Not technically tools, but essential for tidy and safe cable management.

Safety aspects for electrical installation tools

Safety is the top priority! Proper tools help minimize risks, but other precautions matter too:

Insulated handles: Always use tools with insulation rated up to 1000V.

Choose quality: High-quality tools last longer and are safer.

Protective gear: Use insulated gloves and safety glasses along with tools.

Check cables: Always verify no voltage is present using a tester or multimeter before working.
