[Gktssm]

Just wondering what will i need for my first day work?

 

[snowhead]

Sweeping brush and tea spoon.

Long wait?

 

[RogertheBodger]

Box of 20mm holes

 

[telectrix]

set of VDE drivers, side cutters ( CK with the stripping holes are a good buy if you are just starting out), pump pliers, junior hacksaw, lump hammer, claw hammer. after that, ask your boss what he expects you to have and what he will supply you with. and FFS don't take a neon screwdriver to work. if one comes with a set of drivers, bin it.

Ignore murdock ask your boss first, where i am we use our mobiles all the time as we are not allowed radio's on site

But unless you need to ring boss etc do not take your phone out unless your on a break etc or they will get anoyed

Dont forget a voltage tester

You'll need to be careful which screwdrivers you buy - right or left handed - obviously dependant on yourself.

 

[telectrix]

thougfht it depended on the thread. the one on the screw, not the forum.
