When it comes to projects involving electricity, the right tools are the key to high-quality work. As technology and industry standards evolve, keeping an up-to-date toolkit with the best electrician tools and supplies is a must. At SquarePeg, we offer a wide range of top-tier brands designed for your next project, whether you are DIY, a professional electrician, or an electrical jobsite manager. Here's a look at SquarePeg’s list of essential tools and supplies for 2024: 

Multimeters

A reliable multimeter is a must-have for any electrician, providing critical readings for voltage, current, and resistance. In 2024, precision and durability are non-negotiable. We offer latest models from trusted brands like Rheem and Fieldpiece, known for their accuracy and modern designs. Whether you're diagnosing issues in residential wiring or complex industrial systems, these multimeters ensure you get the job done right.

Hand Tools

Hand tools such as pliers, screwdrivers, cutters, and drills are staples in any electrician’s tool kit. For safety, an insulated screwdriver from Milwaukee can’t be beat. Look for heavy-duty, reliable pipe cutters, pliers, and cordless drills and screwdrivers that meet industry safety standards and provide the comfort and control needed for precision work in tight spaces.

Wires, Cables, and Cords

Wires, cables, and cords are the basic building blocks of every electrical system; by using the right types for each project, electricians ensure the safety and reliability of a home or office. The type you need will depend on factors such as ampacity requirements, environmental conditions, installation location (indoor or outdoor), and local electrical codes and regulations. Do not overlook wire connectors and terminals – these electrician supplies go hand-in-hand with all wiring projects.

Wire Strippers and Crimpers

Properly stripping and crimping wires is crucial to maintaining the integrity of an electrical connection. The right tools make all the difference in ensuring a clean and secure finish. Our selection includes wire strippers and crimpers from Milwaukee and Nibco, both of which are respected for their streamlined designs and long-lasting performance.

Conduit Fittings and Connectors

When running electrical conduit, precision fittings and connections are essential for both aesthetics and functionality. The conduit benders from Mars available at SquarePeg are designed to make smooth, accurate bends with minimal effort, allowing electricians to maintain high standards on every job. 

Headlamps and Lighting: Illuminate Your Work

Proper lighting is critical for working safely and effectively, especially in dim or confined spaces. SquarePeg carries headlamps and work lights from Maxxeon, offering powerful, long-lasting illumination. These lights are designed to withstand tough job site conditions, so electricians can work comfortably in any environment.

No toolkit is complete without proper safety and security supplies. From gloves to safety glasses, we provide high-quality protective gear. Investing in the right PPE not only ensures compliance with safety regulations but also protects you from potential hazards.
