WHAT TO KEEP IN YOUR VAN AS AN ELECTRICIAN! | Day in the Life of a Service Electrician
What happens here
The electrician then shows his 'device section' where he keeps various outlets, switches, and lighting components. This includes standard outlets, Decora outlets, GFCIs, different faceplates, and even light bulbs. He highlights his policy of carrying everything to avoid trips to the supply house. He also shows miscellaneous diagnostic tools such as a circuit tracer (from Kometz), a Fluke voltmeter (a backup given by his 'pops'), and machine screws. Finally, he presents his portable Milwaukee Rapid Charger for his M12 and M18 batteries, emphasizing the importance of always having charged batteries to avoid downtime. He also has a Milwaukee station light for working in dark areas, a Milwaukee wire snake for fishing wires through conduits, and a Rack-A-Tiers wire stand (which doubles as a seat) and a Milwaukee shop vacuum for cleanup.
Goal: Ensure a full stock of devices, diagnostic tools, and charging equipment to handle any job effectively.
