What happens here

The son informs his father he has secured a commercial electrical job at a data center to terminate panels. He then presents his initial selection of basic hand tools for review, which includes diagonal cutters, wire strippers, needle-nose pliers, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a flathead screwdriver. The father listens and prompts for further considerations.

Goal: Confirm possession of fundamental hand tools for electrical work.

Tools and materials

  • Diagonal Cutters — Cutting electrical wires and cables
  • Flathead Screwdriver — Driving and removing flathead screws
  • Needle-nose Pliers — Bending, gripping, and manipulating small wires in tight spaces
  • Phillips Head Screwdriver — Driving and removing Phillips head screws
  • Wire Strippers — Removing insulation from electrical wires

Make sure you use Ooh, that's nice. >> Hey Dad, I got a commercial job. >> Good for you. >> I got to go in a data center. I got to terminate some panels. >> Okay, so what tools you going to bring? >> I got my diagonal cutters, strippers, and my needle nose. I got my Phillips, flathead. Anything else I need? >> Yeah, what about a sniffer? Are you going to need some sort of voltage tester? Is your headlamp charged? >> Yep, headlamp charged. >> All right, so you're definitely going to need an impact gun and you looks like you've got all the nut drivers attached
