www.slashgear.com: Like every trade, electricians have a specific set of tools that they need to do their jobs. These include anything from multimeters to test electrical current to circuit testers to make sure sockets are properly installed. You also have a wide array of hand tools to consider, and other specialized tools.

When I clicked on this this article I really did not know if I would find any tools or items that would really intrigued me, or even be items that I don't have already. The first item in this article that really caught my attention is the hemostat. I have struggled when soldering things to hold the wires still, and this tool would be the perfect solution to this problem. Additionally it is now something that I would like to add to my toolkit, as it is also very useful for holding or grabbing nails or screws. Which have been placed or need to be placed in hard to reach areas. Another tool or item in this article that really caught my attention is the magnetic gloves. I for one always hate holding onto screws while building or deconstructing scenery, and I end up putting the screws either in a pocket that then gets damaged or on the floor where I forget about them. So having a magnetic strip on my gloves would be a perfect solution to my problem, and is a very cool feature to have on gloves for construction. One negative for both of these items that I have mentioned is that the social feature for both are relatively niche, but that dose not detract for their appeal to construction.
Most of these tools are pretty intuitive, whether from an electrician’s perspective or in general technical theatre, given that few theatrical tools were ever initially designed for theatrical purposes. The deburrer, socket set, and small parts organizer make logical sense to me, and I can see them being used pretty commonly on a day to day level. The pick set would definitely be useful, but the hemostat is one that I’ve been recommended before, and can certainly double as a number of tools in one. The magnetic work gloves without fingers makes me wonder just how strong that magnet is (and if that poses a safety risk, or if it’s even practically useful). I worked with vampliers a lot in high school in a robotics capacity, and funnily enough, I’ve never thought about them in a theatrical capacity. Though I believe the one recommended in the article is different to the one I’m used to, I can absolutely see their use as a secondary, more specialized, pair of pliers.
