   I can’t think of any portable power tool an electrician might not use. From drills of various types, saws, chop-saws, electric hammers, even table saws and band-saws, saber-saws and sawzalls. I worked my way through school as an electrician, I even used a metal-cutting lathe and a mill to fabricate parts when I restored some old chandeliers.

   Then there’s the powder actuated tools:
