ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Your personal safety should be the most important consideration. Goggles and safety glasses, gloves,
long-sleeve shirts, long pants or bluejeans, hard hat, etc. A large dose of common sense is required
here. Think about the hazards and protect yourself accordingly before taking on any task.

Circuit Testers

You need to have a voltage tester of some type for electrical work, and one that you trust is working
properly! This can be anything from a $2 neon voltage check, to a $2000 digital multi-meter, or anything
in between. The important thing is to ensure that it is working so you can verify that you have the power
off on any circuit you may be working with. Check it on a known live source before trusting it to determine
if your circuit is dead.

SCREW DRIVERS

A screwdriver is a tool, manual or powered, for screwing and unscrewing (inserting and
removing) screws. A typical simple screwdriver has a handle and a shaft, ending in a tip the user puts into
the screw head before turning the handle.

HAND DRILL

A hand drill is a manual tool that converts and amplifies circular motion of the crank into circular motion of
a drill chuck. Though it has been replaced in most applications by power drills, the hand drill is used by
many woodworkers.

HACKSAW

A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, originally and mainly made for cutting metal. The equivalent saw for
cutting wood is usually called bow saw.
