Re: Recommended Electrical (Hand) Tools, Best Practices

I am going to third (or fourth) the Katapult style wire strippers, love the auto adjusting capability of them.

I'm a big fan of the the Eclipse Pro'sKit Ergo crimpers, you can get them with Anderson Power Pole crimps but can get many other die sets which allow you to do insulated terminals and PWM crimps with the same crimper. They are similar to the West Mountain Radio crimpers that are referred on older CD threads.

Brady makes my favorite wire labeler, but the cartridge refills are expensive:
