Some basic tool help please ...

[GowestL]

hello everybody, new to the forum and I’m just looking for a bit of advice. I’ve taken the steps for a career change and got my ecs labourers card. I’m starting with a firm next week as a trainee and would like some advice on what tools I will need as I’ve been asked to buy some basic electrician. Is there anywhere online that would do like a basic set for not too much. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can pick up basic kits for cheap nut using them every day they won't last. Buy good tools like knipex and ck and as long as you don't loose them they'll save money on replacing poor ones
