TOP 10 SPECIALTY ELECTRICAL TOOLS! Uncommon Tools for Electricians 

If you run metallic conduit a hand held band saw is a great time saver, also good for unit strut, threaded rod, seal, tight, large drop cables, …

Small fence post driver works well for ground rods too.

I still have my greenleee ratchet set, but I also carry a milwaukee cordless, and I keep a pair of P&R bits in the cordless set for the pilot hole. I've also upgraded from my ratched cable cutter to an M-12 cable cutter. partly because I hit a messenger wire with my hand cutter and the M-12 was the same price.

I soak the ground rod base with water to soften up the soil I can drive a ground rod in Texas clay with a 2 pound hammer and a little water

Great set of tools. I really like the cap for driving ground rods with a sledge hammer. 👍

That ground rod driver is also useful for concrete form stakes and there are driver bits that are for the 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 hex for air and electric jackhammers and there is a Hilti shank that is similar to the SDS max on their demo only hammers. But they easiest to drive a ground rod is with that sledge hammer target you have and s mini excavator with a plate tamper yes it takes to people but it goes in shale easy .

Интересно. Спасибо за ликбез!;)

Damn imma add that hot stick to the list of 300 items i want😂

That hot blanket is sick, I didn’t even know that was thing I always assumed you would just use a heat gun 💀

such a good video. A ton of valuable information here. You just gained a subscriber.

when the ground rod hits a rock, I get a small clamp and clamp the trigger on the rotohammer, then adjust the speed control so it doesn't bounce itself off the rod and go do something else for a while. with some models, you can stick a pair of linemans pliers in the handle and hold the trigger.

Just cut the male end off an extension cord and put a tri-tap on it for temp power to the panel.

your temp drop cord needs a 4S box, and a GFCI in an industrial cover. it also needs to not have the nuke and ground twisted together. then if you want to get fancy, get a chinese finger trap strain relief and set it on the panel end. and hey, presto, you have an official completely compliant temporary power installation.. I usually make them with 12-3 UF and use a 2 pole breaker and two GFCIs, though. never had an inspector complain.

that breaker finder is designed to sweep the entire panel, and adjust its own sensitivity until it zeroes in on one breaker. I've got about a 95% success rate using it.

I hesitate to buy the cable stapler, because it multiplies the cost of stapling, but I might eventually buy one for crawlspaces. on the other side of the coin, I carry an M-18 framing nailer in the truck. it makes adding blocking a heck of a lot faster and easier.

Good job,Kid. I've been an electrician for 45 years. Good vid Kid, for old bastards like me. New info

Good tool suggestions. I learned some things from your video. But if you could eliminate the (unnecessary) background music, it would be much easier to hear what you are saying.

Great Video. Use them all. I appreciate your segment on the NM sheath splitting, I get a lot of service calls for niched conductors.

Circuit break locator all the way

Great list!

y You made a very thorough video thanks.

🔥🔥🔥

Nice list. The only one I was unaware of was the ground rod cap...great idea. My temporary receptacle is an 1110 box/cover with a short length of BX (armored cable). The breaker finder is good but much more useful if you can find one with adjustable sensitivity. The stapler is the only item I would forego since I don't do much Loomex (Romex) work (and speaking of that, was that paper inside your cable? In Canada we only have the bare ground wire inside our non-metallic cables, aside from cabtire). I would add step bits to the list instead...very handy for steel stud work.

Ball end? BALL END? We're disowning you

Was a toddler holding the tools? The tools looked huge.

We really ought to label these kinds of vidoes as house mouse or commercial

How old are you. You don't seem old enough to have an electrical company. Not sure where your from but here you have to be a working journeyman for over 2 years before you can even start your own. I have seen every tool on the list, but still a good video. Thanks

1/2" to 2" with no skips? ... Me looking at my greenlee set with a billion sizes between 1/2 - 2"

Hot blanket wow

if you cut through the insulation, you're putting too much pressure on the knife.

Bruh, you should be able to nipper 6-3 by hand

Wash your hands, dude!
