First a ream, makes holes larger a little bit at a time.
Another way to make holes larger but harder to make small increments, stepped drill bits.
Here is my tweaker collection. From right to left GE, Allen-Bradley, Reliance Electric, Westinghouse, Electrical Control Services, Associated Electric (the last two local to Alcoa TN, I worked for Alcoa), Rosemount, Beckman Industrial, Fluid Flow and Danby Electric Co. (these last two also local to Alcoa TN).
Jumpers are a must. Buy the larger wire, I should throw away the cheap ones.
Great for keeping screws and other parts at hand is an old (Infinity Monitor) dome tweeter magnet holding some non audio screws.
Checks to see if your outlet is wired correctly. New ones have a GFCI test on them.
Killa Watt, lets you know if you are using too much power and a lot of other things.
Cheap shorting plugs. Used for adjusting your hum pots and burning in cables among other uses.
Great little screwdriver, cheap and handy.
My favorite wire strippers.
Often spoken about but not always understood, the Cheater. It has a two prong male and a three prong female. Cut the green wire off! Trust me. I won't tell you how much it cost me to find out.
Nippers, Diagonal Cutters (Dykes), Needle Nose. All are spring return to open, i.e. ready to use.
Ideal wire strippers. One for large wire, one for small wire. You need small, the red one.
