USEFUL TOOLS

 


Crimper / Cutter

Most of my tools are from Snap-On. These crimper / cutters are by far the best tool in my collection. I have yet to find another crimper / cutter tool that even comes close to this design. Fortunately, Snap-On isn't the only company that makes this design. I have seen a Klein Tool replica (for about 1/2 the price) that would also suffice.


Wire Stripper

This is another Snap-On must. This will strip a wire extremely quickly and cleanly. You can also strip wires from the center which makes tapping a breeze.

Radio Shack also makes the same type stripper (for about 1/2 the price) but I stronly suggest to use it for lighter applications because I destroyed 3 of them already stripping 8 - 10 gauge power wires.

 

 


Computer Safe Test Light

This is another must! Today's automobiles have many sensitive computer circuits. By using a normal el-cheapo test light, you're basically creating a short circuit everytime you probe a wire. If you short a sensitive circuit, you could easily fry it!

For about $10.00, you can invest in a computer safe test light and dramatically decrease your chances of frying a costly circuit.


3M Scotch Super 33+ Electrical Tape

Simply my favorite electrical tape - especially in cold -freezing weather of the winter.
