Apprentice tools

[GrantBeattie]

I am starting my apprenticeship in a few weeks,
does anyone have any advice on what tools I will need for starting out ?
The work is residential and mainly new builds, Any advice would be great.
cheers

yeh a sense of humour and a apron for making the tea seriously though have a look at the threads and good luck with it. any questions don`t feel shy just ask there are loads of people on here only too happy to help and don`t forget there is never a stupid question it`s just stupid not to ask if you don`t know.

Don't know if any use or what your price range but if you look on eBay you can pick up the ck bag with tools for about £120 last time I looked, basic hand tools to get you started then add to it as you go along, some bigger firms actually supply a set of tools then you pay a few quid a week out of wage

firstly

Toolbox/bag... i got a stanley fatmax xl toolbag
set of insulated screwdrivers... i like stanley fatmax
Knipex snips/side cutters... knipex will last u longest

Then as you go get these
Pad saw

combination set square (for mini trunking)
file
plenty of markers and pens.

set of holesaws
