Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
A bad workman blames his tools...but a good one thanks them! Without trying to impoverish young tradesmen, we’ve compiled a shortlist of power tools that will likely be in use too often on the jobsite to borrow from your co-workers. Investing in quality tools will help you enjoy your job more and display dedication to your craft to your customers & supervisors. Electricians are, by no means, only working with wire throughout the day! There are a number of tools in our list that may surprise you for their rough-work capabilities. It’s our hope that this list helps you maximize your time, energy, and attention on the job site toward an end product you can be proud of.

While Joel & Jefferson Electric are not presently affiliated with any one brand, we are showing Dewalt tools in this video for simplicity’s sake. While we don’t have a stake in which brand you choose, it is generally a good idea to stick to one brand for battery compatibility reasons, so we encourage you to do your research before you make your first major purchase. Don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments for other brand & tool suggestions; our Jefferson teammates use tools from many ecosystems and would be happy to share their firsthand experience with you.
