Author Tools for electrical work
Greg G

2006-02-26, 3:29 pm

I'm fixing up a room for a home office. It needed some outlets, phone
jacks and Ethernet connections. Nice work for a technically adept
fellow like me. Today I'm working on the phone and data lines. Here is
a list of the tools I have used so far:

Tape Measure
Pencil
Level
Rotozip
Hammer Drill
1/2" and 3/4" x 12" masonry bits
Masonry Hammer
Masonry chisels (2, Big.)
4 pound hand sledge.
Vacuum cleaner (I used this a *lot*)
Heavy duty hand cleaner. I also anticipate using a lot of shampoo
later today.

Did I mention that I'm putting the jacks in a cinder block and plaster
wall? Any minute now I may start working with some wires...

Nope. But my wife and daughter do generally have the good sense to
leave the premises when I start a project like this. My post was an
attempt to convey (humorously) how little of a "wiring" job actually
involves wire.

Thank you for explaining that. It went right over my head; I read it
several times trying to figure out what you were asking.
