Discuss what are some tools that were worth the price tag? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
Would love to know why the battery packs for cordless kit are so expensive?
I think a good multi-tool is essential even if your not a spark.
Curious as to why? Have one and love it, and 2 occasions I snapped a tip (PZSL1 & 2); A quick DM on Twitter and I've had a replacement by the following day at no charge.If you are stripping a lot of T&E these are invaluable, two actions and the sheath is off, next the inner cables are also stripped: Jokari No. 4 Cable Strippers 6½ - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/jokari-no-4-cable-strippers-6-165mm/7540k.
What I would not buy again is the Armeg torque screwdriver.
Nice one mate cheers, already got a rethreading tool haha typical apprentice stripped the threads on a couple boxesThe CK M3.5 and M4 rethreading tools, never know when you'll need them...might sit there for weeks unsued....but wouldn't be without them.
Also, more recently, the Quickwire cable strippers, rewired 16 downlights in under half an hour the other day, they pay for themselves!

Thanks mate, just bought a sds but I think multitool is next up, what sort of things do you use it for?Battery sds can be expensive but saves a lot of time. Multi tool took a while for me to find uses for but now is used all the time.
The torque that is set by most manufacturers of the MCB's etc is so over the top that it spits most cheap ones in half, OK if you are installing Hager or upper market units, but it's just too much on anything else.Cheers mate, what about the torque screwdriver do you not like?
Torque drivers are tosh imo , if you can’t judge a termination by experience and feel then you shouldn’t be working on an electrical installation in the first place
