what are some tools that were worth the price tag? | Page 20 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss what are some tools that were worth the price tag? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I picked up a set of T-Bar nut spinners when they were on special at Halfords , to be honest I rarely use them and they live in my junk box

Think they got from 5mm up to about 13mm
 
I also have a matching set of T-bar torx drivers which I got from Halfords , again rarely used them and they also live in the junk box
 
The convenience of them holding nuts is far outweighed by the hassle of trying to pick nuts out of the driver. They'd be great if you never had to remove nuts.

Always leave the nut with one or two threads on the bolt/stud. Then remove the driver. Then the nut with your fingers. Easy.
 
Seems a while since I added anything here...
Just a quick word on H&S/PPE...I was driving some long screws this week, 150mm pozi 3 screws, with my impact driver. They were easy, but...driver bits can break, or shatter even...dug a shard out of my left lower eye-lid...3 mm up and it would have been in my eye...wear goggles!
I'm embarrassed, because i did the same thing a year ago, and I should have learned my lesson. However, we think the bigger bits won't break...but they do.

Out of interest we’re these impact rated bits or just normal ones?
 
They were impact rated, on both occasions. They just shattered, not rounded out...

Back to tools worth the money, I just bought a steel tray with magnetic base, from Halfords. Excellent for some dismantling work, and only £8. Undo the screws/nuts /whatever and pop them into the tray...really wish I'd bought this years ago
Limited use for electricians, but invaluable for other work.

Got several of them from Aldi when they had thrm in, sorted ctimbo presents for thr old man too 😂
 
Is there any decent long screwdriver sets out there for opening up appliances

Seems they get harder to open all the time with all the different screwheads

Worth mentioning that your employer is responsible for issuing PPE. I'm not directly employed so buy my own and that's nice as I'm quite fussy...
