Looking for commonly used top electrical tools used in electrical engineering? Look no further! Check out our list of tools for your electrical work needs.

Electrical Tools

Electrical Tools

Screwdrivers: These tools are used to tighten or loosen screws and are available in different sizes and types, such as flathead and Phillip’s head.

Pliers: Used for gripping, bending, and cutting wires, pliers are essential for any electrical work. Common types include needle-nose, lineman’s, and diagonal pliers.

Wire strippers: As the name suggests, wire strippers are used for removing the insulation from wires to expose the metal conductors.

Multimeter: This tool measures electrical voltage, current, and resistance and is essential for troubleshooting electrical problems.

Circuit tester: Used to test whether a circuit is energized or not, a circuit tester is a safety tool that helps prevent electrical shocks.

Fish tape: A fish tape is used for pulling wires through walls, ceilings, and conduit.

Voltage tester: A voltage tester checks the presence of voltage in a wire, socket, or outlet and helps identify electrical hazards.

Crimping tool: Used to attach connectors and lugs to wires, a crimping tool is a necessary tool for making electrical connections.

Cable cutter: As the name suggests, cable cutters are used to cut cables and wires to the desired length.

Insulated gloves: To protect against electrical shock, electricians wear insulated gloves when working on live circuits.

Cable tie gun: Used for bundling and securing wires and cables, cable tie guns make the process quick and easy.

Conduit bender: Conduit benders are used to bend conduit to the desired angle and shape.

Hole saw: A hole saw is a specialized saw used to drill holes in electrical panels and other materials.

Voltage detector: Similar to a voltage tester, a voltage detector is used to detect the presence of voltage but with the added benefit of being able to detect voltage without making contact with the wire or outlet.
