http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/electrical-tools-products/109212-apprentice-tools.htmlHi I am about to begin an apprenticeship with a local company. I need to build up a basic tool collection but will need to start from scratch. ive found one overall CK set and wondered if anyone had any experience or advice on the kit.
many thanks
Junior hacksaw, 7.5m (25') ST tape measure, electricians knife, automatic wire stripper, 210mm (8¼") pocket level, VDE 125-250V AC mains tester, 16oz claw hammer, M3.5 x 6" rethreading tool, Redline VDE 185mm combination pliers, 175mm snipe nose pliers, 160mm combi-cutter, 7 x Dextro VDE screwdrivers (2 x Slotted (2.5 x 75 and 4 x 100mm), 2 x Phillips (#1 x 80 and #2 x 100mm), 2 x Pozi (#1 x 80 and #2 x 100) and 2 x 100mm Modulo) and tool bag.
listen to this nugget of advice, the veto will break you back if you overload it as well.As a side note don't buy a veto till you have the tools to fill it. 160 pound hand bag to carry 40 pounds worth of tools. Spend your penny's wisely.
that CK kit is a good starter kit.i have to disagree with pete. the beauty of kits like this are that youhave a place for every tool and know thatyougot them allback in.
Give pete a break...he comes from an era,where whipping a tool out from a zipped enclosure,was nothing to do with work...:yesnod:
