Gentlemen's set for wiring

A set of tools for high-quality repair and installation of electrical wiring in the house and on the site - a matter of individual choice. Some of the tools are regularly used by professional electricians in the home may be required in very rare cases, others should always have on hand.

It is important when choosing based not only on their financial capabilities, but most importantly - of the tasks that lie ahead. From time to time to repair or replace blown outlet cord household appliance, there is no need to have only expensive clamp meters and Cablre. Another thing - the construction of houses, laying of cables at the site and other "global" electrical work. Here without quality tools - anywhere.

many users FORUMHAUSE the formation of "their own" set of electrical tools have long departed from the standard minimum pliers, knife-head screwdriver, preferring to have a choice for different conditions and problems. Based on their experience, we have prepared a brief overview of the most popular in the home, "devices" for wiring.

Stripping a cable - one of the most common and seemingly simple operations with the electrical work. But how it is made qualitatively it depends on the durability, strength and safety of the compound. Especially if it comes from a thin wire strands that are easily damaged.

Many people, including professional electricians for stripping cables successfully use not special mounting knives(Quality are quite expensive), and the usual stationery with interchangeable blades in a pair with a pair of pliers. It is only important to handle in such a knife has a dielectric, and a flexible blade - good quality, not to break the minute.

The market offers a huge selection of different designs strippers strippers, but users view them ambiguous. Sometimes even the expensive models with replaceable jaws-cutters, adjustable for different wire cross sections and other "twists" not too comfortable to work and do not have sufficient flexibility. As with other tools, there is a rule: the "multifunctional" tool, the lower the quality of the individual operations.

Beutiflet:

- Here is an example of a series of "simplicity itself." You can bite wire cutter jaws, (good) and even 2-4 mm screws (Vintorez-holes on the perimeter of the joint). At the end - pliers (jaws). Calibrated holes for stripping - fall-grab-twist-drag. Lightweight and compact, very smooth action and return Spreader spring causes the most positive emotions.

crimping pliers - an indispensable tool for the installation of electrical wiring used for fixing the lugs on the wires and terminals. Such sleeve-terminals are used, for example, compounds of copper and aluminum cables, stranded wires, cables of large section. For a one-time work to buy only enough shells, and press-fit to carry out with the help of pliers. But if you want to wire the whole house or plot, pressing tongs - the best option.

Rasterzator:

- The most convenient tool for crimping - ring. Make a perfect circle without chipping, crimped tightly. It can be pressed without lugs, under the tin. Another option - mites gedore with mechanical compression in the form of a square. When the tip can give inappropriate burrs from the crimping plates. Ticks in the form of pliers crimping is not very good, and require strong arms: the palm and fingers get tired after a couple of dozen all.

Necessary in any home and affordable tool - Screwdriver indicator-probe lack of availability-phase network. With the help of the probe when connected devices and the installation of networks is determined by the "phase". For domestic work, many forum users prefer to choose the easiest option indicator with neon lamp. More expensive and complex probes with LEDs, display and battery-demand experience, while not always distinguished by reliability and accuracy.

Big Harry:

- Some LEDs are so sensitive that the light at the slightest prompting, despite the fact that the tension in the wire really is not. These and show zero phase ...

Voltage testers are made of flimsy metal and plastic, so you should use them only for their intended purpose. Assembly work a screwdriver it is easily breaks down.

Inexpensive indicator screwdriver in the household will never be superfluous, but for demanding applications require a more serious instrument - universal multimeterAllowing to diagnose network faults, and electrical appliances and installation. According to its users online Addon5When choosing a multimeter model it is important to understand what you need to do measurements (current - AC, DC, voltage, resistance, etc...). For homework, high-precision is not required. The main thing - to determine the parameters and have them choose a model.

Choosing a meter, pay attention to the quality of manufacturing probes: from cheap products, they are easily damaged. probe wire must be flexible and resistant to bending.

Another useful thing - wiring scanner. Many models allow us to detect not only hidden in the wall, live wires, but the metal fittings, nails etc. By choosing the scanner should be approached with great responsibility: not all devices are capable of displaying the correct data. It depends not only on the specific model, but also on the material of the walls (many detectors "refuse" to see the wires, for example, in concrete slabs), the correct sensitivity setting, the user's skills and even from humidity premises. And, as always, from the price - really good detectors are quite a few.

Dezoom:

- In addition to posting my scanner works and other objects in the wall. Adapt himself to the search as possible, but 100% sure that this is the electrically - no. Deeper wire (kabelkanale a concrete slab) sees.

Many prefer to have in the economy as a tester current clampAllowing to measure network parameters without direct contact with live parts, that is, without breaking the circuit.

With clamp can be:
- Identify the actual load on the network.
- Measure the power various electrical appliances.
- Check against meter readings to actual consumption.
- Finding the possible leakage current.

Questions the choice of these and other electrical instruments, as well as the pros and cons of specific models are discussed in the this topic forum. On the choice of features and operation of multimeters and clamp meters read here and here. About how to choose the right materials for the wiring, described in this video.
