New Tools Advice ?

[FixitElectrical]

I have been buying CK, wera, Knipex and Stanley FatMax kit. To be honest I could a have bought a new car with the amount ive just spent. I'm starting out on my own as a domestic electrician and had no tools so needed to stock up!

Wera VDE screwdrivers are really good by the way, I got the Wera Bigpack, it's got loads in it and it only about £45 if you look about.

I got an 18v DeWalt which works well, make sure you get decent batteries though, i got two 4amp batteries which pretty much last all week.

Bacho wrenches with the reversible jaws are the canine goodies!

Bahco are the best in my opinion they cover most things , the side cutters are excellent ! and the bahco 319 hacksaw is the dogs danglies when your doing metal work if theres no chop saw. they also have some off the best spanners, shifters, files, ratchets, loads ! other things of the top of my head are stanley fatmax extreme aviation snips, stanley claw and lump hammer, stabilia torpedo level!

The wera bigpack?? I tend to find that if you get massive amounts of tools for a realativley small amount of cash, they last a couple of months - cheap and chatty! But if they're holding up for you then thats great.

I got an 18v Dewalt Drill aswell, it's a beaut.

I never stray from Makita, Bosch or DeWalt when it comes to powertools.
Facom are great for tool box's / totes...they last literally years.
and just get CK for handtools really, its what the wholesaler stocks the most of
