I ve got a few tools i like, my milwaukee drills are great, and a few i think were a waste of money. Like my bosch 12v multi tool, the battery falls out as soon as it starts vibrating. The new tool pouch, i ve just bought has made a massive improvement to the way i work so I was just wondering what is the best tool you have for making your life easier?
 
I too love my Milwaukee kit, but other leading brands are just as good really.

A decent headtorch made a massive difference to my daily work, and still does.

Most useful tool as a self employed electrician ? Hate to say it but probably my phone.
It's my mobile office for calls, texts, and emails, it's a camera to keep record of works, it's a diary to enter details of appointments and work done, it's a torch for when I don't have my headtorch, it's a calculator for quick on site reckonings, it's a technical library with all the PDF files I have on there, it's a tool for looking under floors and in walls using the video and camera functions, and a satnav for looking up callout locations.
 
I like my Bosch gear, just added the GSB 162-2 RE to the stable and it's mean... scary, but mean :)

In terms of making my life easier, I got sick and tired of lugging around a big tool bag so I got myself a Toughbuilt Master Electricians Pouch and I've got what I would call my daily carry in there. So much nicer than a big bag of tools.
 
My glasses so I can see what I’m doing :)
 
My cable stripper, it makes me money to buy more tools with.

Does the van count as a tool?

I’ve got a Milwaukee 12v multitool free for opening a hewdens account. The battery vibrates out of its socket sometimes. I’m gonna try it to chase out a box on soft brick tomorrow with the grout remover blade.

Best tool has to be an electricians screwdriver. Works as a chisel, hammer, paint stirrer, coffee stirrer....
 
Have to be the multi tool, with a diamond blade it can do chases and back boxes with relative ease in most walls. cuts nearly everything with the right blade. from wood, plasterboard through to stone and tiles

Where do you purchase your diamond bits for the multi tool?

Best tool purchase for me would be the veto tool bag, keeps everything in order and stops the temptation of chucking everything in there at the end of a long day and putting your back out on the way to the van

I got that from Howdens too. I already had the 18V version so put it on gumtree. Was worth £90 to someone.
