It's such a nice change to see an apprentice eager, asking questions and having a good decent start up kit. If you keep the same attitude on your Electrical Apprenticeship journey you will go far, never be afraid to ask questions and take notes if your seeing something 2 way light switches etc, the more you work with different Sparks and seeing what they have and as you progress you'll know what you need. If you look after your tools they'll last forever, one of the most important things about being a Spark or Apprentice is always test for dead and lock off any circuit your working on! You will be taught all this as you go, but very impressed with your tool kit and very good luck for the future, if you need to ask anything or not sure about something then post it on here and I'm sure you'll get the support. Have a great time and stay safe.

Cheers bud I don't know why more don't see it this way as I see it, I'm an older apprentice 25 and I'm paying for the course myself but for me doing the day to day work and gaining the hands on experience is more valuable and seeing the more ways to skin a cat the better as it helps you understand it more.
Wish I'd got into the trade much sooner rather than being a mechanic but such is life and hindsight is 20/20 my enthusiasm to just work and learn is borderline obsessive haha.

You've obviously no idea how popular these bags are @buzzlightyear - everyone has them because they are awesome bags at an unbelievable price (ÂŁ36) Wickes.
Those that carry the open tote on a shoulder strap on the 16 story job we've got, usually last a week before buying one. Funny when you see a very experienced spark turn up with a gleaming new bag - I'm glad mine is weather worn now - I look like I know what I'm doing! Ssssh don't tell them!!

No argument mate, best bag I've bought. Even if the bloody thing did fall off a chair & spill it's guts everywhere
Two hoists next to each other but a heck of a lot of walking to get to and to get anywhere. Internal stairs for
where the hoist doesn't go and external ladders for single flights if you've the courage!
It does add up to a lot of lugging but site boxes are used as much as possible.
I've been able to cycle to work because of that - bliss!
