 What is It

ELECTRICAL TOOLS AND MATERIALS FOR A SPECIFIC JOB

Electrical task can be done completely to save time, effort, and resources. Most of the
work cannot be done using bare hands. To do the task, electrical tools are needed to perform
the job. This lesson will discuss the functions/uses of each tools used in electrical wiring
installations.

The following are common electrical tools and materials needed in the installation
of electrical wiring.
