Re: Essential Electrical Tools

I'd say the Leatherman Kick. Nice, simple multi-tool. Grip-edges are plastic lined, so you don't get metal biting into your hand. Screwdrivers are of the appropriate size for most FRC stuff. One knife blade. Pliers. Pliers have a cutting section with a divet to act as a wire stripper and you can (with a bit of practice) effectively crimp any connector using the pliers. I rarely use anything else when doing my electronics work. It's about $25 or $30 at Home Depot.
