Synopsis:
A bad workman blames his tools...but a good one thanks them! Without trying to impoverish young tradesmen, we’ve compiled a shortlist of power tools that will likely be in use too often on the jobsite to borrow from your co-workers. Investing in quality tools will help you enjoy your job more and display dedication to your craft to your customers & supervisors. Electricians are, by no means, only working with wire throughout the day! There are a number of tools in our list that may surprise you for their rough-work capabilities. It’s our hope that this list helps you maximize your time, energy, and attention on the job site toward an end product you can be proud of.
While Joel & Jefferson Electric are not presently affiliated with any one brand, we are showing Dewalt tools in this video for simplicity’s sake. While we don’t have a stake in which brand you choose, it is generally a good idea to stick to one brand for battery compatibility reasons, so we encourage you to do your research before you make your first major purchase. Don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments for other brand & tool suggestions; our Jefferson teammates use tools from many ecosystems and would be happy to share their firsthand experience with you.

In addition to your chosen tools, you bring ethics and professionalism to job sites, and here on this channel. New subscriber here, and I'm no electrician, but love a good tool. Great channel.
The oscillating tool is so awesome. I am installing new receptacles in my garage, and I used mine for the first time opening up drywall. I love this channel. Mr. Walsman is very professional and explains things very well.
My sisters grandson just started Electrical school in Billings right out of H.S. Now she know what to buy him for Birthdays/Christmas's. Thanks! Love the interaction with Studpack. Saw you there and came over here to subscribe. I'm a DIY'er, but typically do all my own electrical work as well as plumbing, framing and drywall. I've got most of these tools already, but love the tips and tricks from you.
Excellent!💯😎
Nice!
Nice vid
This is a really good channel! Just discovered it!
I agree.
A grinder is also good when working with metal
You must do things a lot different where you are. Half the tools you dream mandatory, I would not. Take the right angle drill? Nope, our shop supplies hole hawgs, gets a lot more done, a lot faster. You can buy a right angle adapter for your drill/impact to use for tight spots. Circular metal cutting saw, or what we call “screamers,” nope (unless you hate your hearing and your co-workers). A M18 (fuel, preferably) Hackzall will do all the work you need it to do. You can cut 2x4’s, emt, cut outs, pvc, really anything you need it to. Save your money until you’re established, then you can splurge on a multi-tool (it is a nice tool to have though, but can get by and be productive without it). I still don’t have a multi tool, but I own a bandsaw, I suppose it depends on what you do a lot of. Our shop also supplies sds Milwaukee hammer drills, standard in every van and extras at the shop to check out. Again, mostly a commercial company. Lights are on us, I rock a Milwaukee headlamp, it’s rechargeable. It’s nice.
If I wanted to nit-pick I would ask you where your dust collection system is for that hammer drill to comply with current OSHA standards, but everyone I know takes them off unless OSHA randomly shows up then someone runs to the van and attaches it quick 😂
You can have all the newest and latest tools, but if you don’t know how to properly use them, or you’re not productive, it doesn’t do you any good.
Pro tip, buy Milwaukee if for the warranty alone, ITS AMAZING. Don’t even need to keep the receipt, call them, give them the serial, they’ll send you a prepaid box, and you’ll receive a brand new replacement in 2 weeks, and if they have a newer model, they will usually upgrade it for you too.
The Milwaukee M12 Fuel impact is the best tool on the market, small enough to toss in your pouch, light, and a work horse. My M18 Fuel collects dust unless I’m driving lags in wood all day, or hanging eye bolts all day. Also, love my M12 bandsaw, but I do mostly commercial, some stick frame light commercial (like daycares) occasionally, but I enjoy running raceways.
The multi tool has been on my list for awhile to be fair. I also never seem to have a grinder the 1 time a year I need it (usually to reset light pole bolts). Fun stuff on those I tell you with those.
If I wasn't disabled, I'd apply to work at Jefferson Electric. I'd even relocate. Seems like an awesome company to work for. Mazel tov for Zak, Zack, or Zach...
Those cordless are fine for new construction and other modern-era houses. But they would not be very happy going through old growth joists. For that, the standard right angle is something like the Milwaukee 3107-6 so bring a gennie to run it. Or get the original Hole Hawg and make sure your insurance is paid up before using it because clutchless drills are a waiting game until one yanks around on you. There are large cordless Milwaukees, but the M28 batteries and chargers are eye-wateringly expensive.
All DeWalt, I knew I liked you.
I could not recommend the 4 1/2" saw. I had that 4 1/2" saw and returned it for a normal 7 1/4".
The 4 1/2" blades were hard to get, seemed bigger and awkward, and they would only cut a 2x4 if it was perfect.
Slightest bow in the 2x4 and it is two cuts.
Good channel. One constructive comment. Sawzall is a Milwaukee Tool product. Proper term would be reciprocating saw.
@@ElectricProAcademy I really do appreciate your channel. I can count the number of channels I subscribe to on one hand. Yours is one of them!
If you invest in me please can you deck me out in all Hilti tools and Fein multi-tool with the odd Milwaukee tool. 🤣
Should change your title to '7 Power tools every Residential/Wood Frame Electrician needs'
And you forgot the Vacuum for the hammer drill.
But your a master electrician who dosen't know the difference between combo pliers and linesman's either so I dunno
