Electrical Tools & PPE

Learning Objective:

After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:

1. Identify Electrical tools and PPE.

These are the Electrical tools and PPE needed in lighting fixtures
installation.

Wire strippers- are used to cut the insulation of the wire. They are
equipped with different sized cutting teeth for various sized wires. They
also have a cutoff portion in order to cut the wire.

Diagonal cutting pliers- sometimes called side snips, are used to cut wire.
They are specially designed with a cutting edge that goes down to the tip
of the pliers. The advantage being that you can get into tight areas to trim

wires. There are some that are equipped with live wire detection
Picture
capabilities.

Lineman’s pliers- are the do-it-all pliers. They cut, twist wires together,
and grip wires for pulling. They have a squared off end that is great for
twisting wires together, a center cutting blade for cutting wire, and a grip
area between the handles to pull wire.

Spirit level- is used to make sure your work is level and plumb. A great
installation starts with straight switch and outlet covers.

Utility knife- is needed to cut the insulation off of Romex wiring. You
will also need to open boxes when doing installation and this tool will
come in handy.

Phillips screwdriver- has four blades used to install Phillips-head screws.

The tip looks like a plus sign.

Flat screwdriver- is used for straight slot screws. You will likely need
more than one size for your project. If you have to choose just one, pick a
medium blade. It will suit most projects.

Hard hat- is a type of helmet predominantly used in workplace

environments, such as construction sites, to protect the head from injury
by falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, bad weather and
electric shock. Inside the helmet is a suspension that spreads the helmet's
weight over the top of the head. It also provides a space of approximately
30 mm (1.2 inch) between the helmet's shell and the wearer's head so that
if an object strikes the shell, the impact is less likely to be transmitted
directly to the skull. Sometimes the helmet shell has a midline
reinforcement ridge, which strengthens it against impact.

Rubber electrical gloves- are used to protect workers against electrical

shock while working around energized systems.
