Thanks for the input above, ibis but I know the basic tools. I mean, I have been doing electrical and electronics for nearly 2 decades. The problem is that I have never worked on a house or in a building, only boats.
What I am getting at here is: obviously, I will need a P1 and P2 screwdriver as well as a small assortment of straight blade screwdrivers. I know I will need wire strippers. I know I will need linesman's pliers. Will I need a multimeter? For me now, this is a tool I use daily. Is this something that a residential electrician only needs occassionally, for instance, when the job is done to make sure there are no shorts or opens?
And I was thinking to myself that I will not need crimpers... or will I? Do residential electricians use them? I use them almost daily at this job.
The reason this is an issue for me is because I want to buy the tools that my future boss will expect me to have. I just bought a house and a new car, so I don't have much disposable money right now. I want to buy just what I need, and maybe a few things that are not necessary, but nice to have.
If that fat cunt sister-in-law of mine hadn't pawned my tools off to support her jelly donut habit, I wouldn't have to post this at all. I had enough tools to keep a carpenter, two electricians, an electronics tech and a mechanic busy.

No shit? Wow! I would have never thought of that! I guess I better change the title of this post to "ATTN: Electricians"
Wait a minute...
