1. Wire Strippers:

Wire strippers are essential tools used by electricians to remove the insulation from electrical wires safely and efficiently. They feature sharp cutting edges or notches designed to grip and strip away the insulation without damaging the underlying wire. Wire strippers come in various types, including manual and automatic versions. Manual wire strippers require the user to manually adjust and position the tool over the wire before stripping, while automatic wire strippers feature mechanisms that adjust to the wire size automatically, simplifying the stripping process.

2. Crimping Tools:

Crimping tools, also known as crimpers or crimping pliers, are used to create a secure connection between two pieces of metal or other materials by deforming them to hold them together. Electricians commonly use crimping tools to attach connectors, terminals, or splices to the ends of electrical wires. Crimping tools come in various designs, including hand-held pliers-style crimpers and ratchet-style crimpers. Hand-held pliers-style crimpers require manual pressure to crimp the connector, while ratchet-style crimpers feature a ratcheting mechanism that applies consistent pressure, ensuring a uniform and secure crimp.

3. Wire Cutters:

Wire cutters, also known as diagonal pliers or side cutters, are versatile tools used by electricians to cut electrical wires, cables, and other materials. They feature sharp, angled cutting edges that allow for precise and clean cuts. Wire cutters come in various sizes and designs, including compact hand-held versions and larger, heavy-duty models capable of cutting thicker wires and cables. Some wire cutters feature insulated handles to provide electrical insulation and protect the user from electric shock while working with live wires.
