This is DeWalt and this is a must for taking out receptacles and switches fast. [music] Second, I always bring a multimeter. Here is by Fluke. This does everything. This diagnoses all my problems all in one. I can test amps, volts, ohms, everything. You got to always have a voltmeter with you. Third, super important, guys. Look at this. You see this? This is a six-in-one insulated screwdriver by Klein. Look at this. I open this up like a barrel. I got my Phillips, my flathead, and my square tip. And so nice and easy, guys, cuz look, I can just put this bit. I'm right at work. It's 1,000 V insulated, so it's perfect working live on panels. We should never work live. Fourth, I got the Nipex What are these called? I got the Nipex lineman stripper combo. These are amazing cuz I can strip my wire, strip my Romex. I can also It has a lineman feature [music] where I can actually twist my connections together. Lastly, guys, this is an absolute must. Dykes, diagonal cutters.
