Hi everyone,
I'm about to start my first year as an electrical apprentice here in Australia and I'm trying to put together a solid toolkit without going overboard. I know some companies provide tools, while others expect you to bring your own, so I’d like to be prepared.
Could anyone share a list of essential tools that a first-year apprentice should have? I'm particularly interested in tools that are practical, commonly used on-site, and compliant with Australian standards.
Also, any tips on which brands offer good value for money would be greatly appreciated!
