TOOLS USED IN THIS EPISODE LINKED BELOW!!

If you're about to start your career as an electrician but don't have a clue what tools you need, feel free to consult this list. In this video I talk about all of the tools that I deem necessary to start your career with. There will be endless tools that you will buy through the years but these are the basics that every apprentice electrician needs.

In order as they appear, I also time-stamped each tool so you can find them easier. If you'd like to buy them I've put links to each tool on Amazon below so you can order them if you'd prefer:

First up is to get a good pouch. You'll need a two-sided pouch with a hammer loop and a tape chain. One side of the bag should have storage for your hand tools, the other side should have multiple pouches for storing staples, screws, wire nuts, pens/pencils, markers, and a tape measure. You'll want a separate hammer loop (one thing I forgot to mention in the video...a hammer!) that hangs behind you from the belt. Its a lot easier to have a hammer hanging from behind you than off to the sides smacking into your legs all day.
