apprentice tool and prices

[123]

I think thats just a generic list, plumb bob, chalk line anyone still use them and the bradawl can just be a stumpy terminal screwdriver. Flooring chisel would that be the same as a bolster?

Don't forget the tool bag to put the tools in, turning up on site with an Aldi bag is a no no unless your lunch is in it.

Good Luck.

Chalk line is handy for marking out downlights in mid fix when ceilings are reboarded

Surprised there isn't a set of VDE screwdrivers on the list

and a plumb bob is a lump of metal on a piece of string. a more accurate way of getting a vertical drop vertical.

Lee: Take a look at the TLC electrical website, they've got some good prices on tools & delivered to your door. I think their cheapest VDE insulated set is about £10.00.

The list does seem a bit dated and like something they have been issuing since the day dot.

1 heavy hammer (1.25 kill club or limp hammer)
>> think I'd wait till I started to see if one is needed

1 pair of insulated combination pliers
>> Here I hardly use pliers at all, everyone has and develops their own techniques

1 hacksaw frame (suitable for 300mm blades)
>> Here, over a tenner cheaper than toolstation

1 junior hacksaw
>> Here, struggling to think last time I used one

1 clasp knife
>> Sorry no idea where to get that, I use a stanley knife

1 spirit level (225 or 250mm)
>> Here

1 plumb bob line (200gms) no idea what this is if I'm honest
1 chalk line(15m)
>> Here, it does both. Although a tad messy at the former

1 pair foot prints(225m)
>>Grips should suffice

1 claw hammer (500gms)
>> Here

1 flooring chisel(55mm)
>>Here

1 Bradawl (medium)
>> Never actually used one to the best of my knowledge!

1 5m tape measure (19mm wide?
>> Here, better to go to 8m imho here

You may have to make a set up Lee, sets nowadays are mostly 2.5/4/5.5/6mm
Are you sure on the 5 x 200mm ?
