   Well you’ll at least need a paperclip so you can check if there’s power in the wall sockets

   Well of course you will need your basic tools, Hammer, Wire Strippers, screwdrivers, and maybe a cordless screwdriver (for putting plates on faster), test light.

   If you plan on doing it yourself and not working for a business you will need to buy electric drills and other power tools) ladders.

   If you plan on working for a company, they will usually supply the power tools you will need, and they will help you decide what hand tools you will need to get started, and after working in the field for awhile, you can see what your co workers have, and you can decide if you will need it or not.

   klien hand tools, they are my favorite for screwdrivers,nutdrivers ect.

   i use a fieldpiece multimeter

   i also puy cheap ace tools because they usually grow legs, it kinda sucks when 20$ crastman or snap on wrench runs away
