Discuss New Electricians Toolbox- Updated! in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
Please list the tools you'd buy if you started out again and I'll grab the lot in a few months and make a new starters toolbox list topic thing somewhere.
We did a similar thing on the tile forum and it's a good topic for new and experienced (never old!) tradesmen to browse through from time to time.
I'm guessing the list would be slightly different to THIS one by the way?!

What is a conduit cutter?
