Your Tools

I was just thinking about this today. 

 

So we all have our tools for installing systems and etc,  My tools are supplied by my employer however I know plenty of you work for yourselves or supply your own tools which I like to ask

 

What tools do you carry?

If you had to pick your favourite tool what would it be and Why?

 

We have a good chat at work about this and many guys who not make there mind up.

Well if you want the most important tool that would be the terminal screwdriver you can't do much without one.

 

As for favourite that would be difficult to choose but I suppose cable rods.

The feeling of pride from installing cables neatly in walls and cavities makes up for some of the **** I put up with.

I did my apprenticeship at BT and they gave me a full set of technical tools. By far the best quality I have ever seen. I cherish those that I have left and last month found the No.1 screwdriver that has been with me for €$>~% years, lost when oblast moved. So tough I even used it as a drill bit once up a ladder on call and it didn't damage the blade. Amazing tools. Heaven knows what they make them from.

T-Strippers.  So much better than any other wire cutters/strippers I've used.   And no, the 'T' doesn't stand for Tranny.

 

I use T-Strippers rather than Wire Strippers and I never thought about the T, I just assumed it was like you get K Strippers and B Strippers. 

 

However don't google T Strippers the result was not Safe for work.

The BT Redcare equipment we get is good quality btw!

while your on this subject, whats a light weight sds, my 24v bosch weighs a ton when up a ladder!

 

what you got?

 

I'd be lost without my Hitachi DH18DSL, it's lightweight and packs a decent enough punch for everything I need.

 

It only comes with 1 battery but it's the same connection as the Hitachi 18v drill drivers, I have 2 of these so no probs.

 

Definitely a good buy at £200, had mine nearly a year and it gets used every day.

Dewalt 10.8v set for everyday use, Very very rarely need to get my 18v out. There always go sub £100 at screwfix so worth a look. You can also by accessories for then, I've got the dab radio, touch and sub charger that all run off the 10.8v battery.
