Tools That Can Improve Your Efficiency as an Electrician

Your job as an electrician is important but it doesn't have to be arduous!

As an electrician, you know time is money. Thus, you also realize efficiency on the job is always a top priority. Since you may be dealing with situations that are very complex and potentially dangerous, you need to use tools that not only keep you safe, but also make your job easier. If you're wondering which tools are available to make your workday more efficient, productive, and ultimately profitable, here are some you may want to check out and add to your toolbox.

Wireless Inspection Camera

Rather than have to cut a large hole in a wall to locate and pull electrical cable, you can use a wireless inspection camera to make this task much easier. Dustproof and rechargeable, this camera has adjustable LED lights, variable focus lens, and a rod and gooseneck for helping you look into hard to reach areas.

Wire Mesh Cable Tray Cutter

When you've been on the job, you no doubt at some point have had an encounter with a wire mesh cable tray, which as you know instantly slows you down. Rather than continue to let this happen, consider adding a wire mesh cable tray cutter to your tool arsenal. Non-hydraulic, the tray cutter has a rotating head, a paddle trigger, and a head that is very easy to change. Best of all, the cutter on the head should stay sharp enough for you to make at least 10,000 cuts.

Electric Benders for Rigid Conduit

Often used for electrical wiring installations, electric benders for rigid conduit can save you time and energy. They’re built to last and are often backed by warranties. This tool can help you not only increase quality but also speed.

PowerPacT Circuit Breaker

When you need to inspect individual circuit breakers to determine various problems, you know how time-consuming a task this can be for you and your crew. To improve efficiency on the job, use PowerPacT circuit breakers when troubleshooting. Equipped with an LED breaker locator that lights up when a particular breaker requires inspection, you'll be able to locate and fix any problem right away.

Once you add these various tools to your toolbox, you'll notice jobs that were taking far too much time to complete can now be done much faster, meaning you'll be able to take on more jobs and soon have more profits in your pocket.
