Looks like this is the thread for introductions…

I’m from the DFW area and I work with fire alarm systems. I’ve been lurking for while now, watching the videos and peeking at the threads. Any other fire alarm guys here?

Welcome Tex! I have worked with a lot of fire alarm guys. You guys are all hybrids, half electrician half computer wiz. What’s in your tool bag?

Mostly Dewalt and Klien, same tools as most electricians. Add some alarm testing tools.

You?

I have tools from all brands, but bottom line I am a Milwaukee guy. My old man is a sparky and raised me in the ways of the red side.

The new hand tools Milwaukee has been putting out are pretty rad. I’ve got multiple pairs of the strippers, pliers, insulated screw drivers, and the big industrial scissors. Every bit as good as the Kline stuff and half the cost.

I’m a Dewalt guy as its the system I always have had, but Milwaukee are solid tools. I’ve picked up some drills and an angle grinder along the way.

Welcome dude. I’m new too so I don’t have much info on the guys. And gals maybe? Are there many gals? But I would say you can’t be the only guy that works on them in here.
