Now I don’t compare to most people on here but I’m young and this is my start. I’ve focused a lot in electrician tools because Im currently pursueing an apprenticeship, and probably going into the program in the local college. My power tools are corded because I dont use them everyday and would hate to spend money on a battery I use maybe 2-5 times a month. I’m thinking about getting a wera insulated screwdriver set but im not sure yet. But these are a lot of the tools I do more the on and off maintenance work I get. Any suggestions on electrician tools let me know!
I deleted you other post as requested. That’s a nice set of hand tools! How do you like the Milwaukee nut drivers? That’s one think I’m lacking is a good set of nut drivers.
You’ve got some good stuff there. Much better than what I started out with, that’s for sure.
@DR99 I actually just picked them up today, I havent had a chance to use them but its a nice little set for 40 bucks. @Sparky603 A lot of this is stuff i’ve upgraded over last 2 years, after my grandfather passed away I got a lot of his tools but, I’d rather keep them rather than batter them with how I treat tools. I’d like my (future) children to have them someday.
I can vouch for the Wera insulated screwdrivers. Good, solid feel handles combined with strong well formed tips. I’m pretty much 100% Wera for the screwdrivers I take on the road now.
I have the Wera screwdriver set and absolutely love them too.
The price comparison just seems way in the favor for Wera compared to klien. Now don’t get me wrong I love Klein and USA made tools and supporting the country’s economy but with the price comparison it seems as if your paying for the name rather than the screw drivers actual function. Then again I could be wrong in terms of the two companies quality in terms of insulated screwdrivers. I’ve read they’re both great but wera is more affordable. I’ve used Klein’s and Milwaukee’s but not wear.How do they hold up in comparison to Klein Insulated?
I’m also a big safety nut. Do the weras do the job on live wires? Can I trust my safety with them? Sorry I’m just hyper paranoid with new things like these haha O0
Awesome tool set! I totally hear you about battery tools. I fight the same dilemma every time I purchase a battery operated tool.

Lol Exactly! I just bought an impact so I’m sure I’ll be looking for projects to use it on so I don’t completely waste the batter haha
That’s looking good dude!
You got a good set of tools there, one suggestion its to get a amp clamp type meter its very important to check amp draw on electric panels and motors.
Wera are good but I recommend bacho screwdrivers they have good a better fell than wera
