This is a recommended tool list for some of the tools we will use throughout the program in lab courses.
-
This is not an, all inclusive, list for tools that you may need for going into an apprenticeship. (Your Instructor will give you recommendations for other tools you may want to purchase)
- The brand items featured in this list, Klein tools, Fluke and Ideal meters, are shown for examples; different (equivalent) manufacturer brands can be purchased
- If you already have similar items, you are welcome to use them if they are undamaged and safe.
- If you have any questions, your instructor will go over the tool list on the first day of class, or you may contact the Electrical Trades Program Chair. Dan Ehler at
