In the context of BS 7671 (the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations) and electrical installations, hand tools are indispensable for electricians and electrical professionals to perform various tasks safely and efficiently. The Wiring Regulations provide general safety guidelines for electrical work, including the use of hand tools. Here are some common hand tools used in electrical installations, along with safety considerations:

Screwdrivers: Screwdrivers are used for tightening or loosening screws in electrical connections and components. Electricians should ensure they use the correct screwdriver type and size for the task to avoid damaging screws or electrical equipment.
Pliers: Pliers come in various types, including needle-nose pliers, side-cutting pliers, and combination pliers. They are used for cutting, bending, and gripping wires and cables. Insulated pliers are essential for working on live electrical circuits.
Wire Strippers: Wire strippers are used to remove the insulation from wires, exposing the conductors for termination or splicing. It’s crucial to select the appropriate wire stripper for the wire size and insulation type.
Cable Cutters: Cable cutters are designed to cut through electrical cables and wires cleanly and efficiently. Using the correct cable cutter prevents damage to the cable’s conductors.
Crimping Tools: Crimping tools are used to create secure electrical connections by crimping connectors onto wires or cables. It’s essential to use the right crimping tool for the connector type and size.
Conduit Benders: Conduit benders are used to shape electrical conduit, such as metal or PVC, into the desired angles and bends for routing electrical cables. Proper bending techniques are essential to avoid damage to the conduit.
Knockout Punches: Knockout punches are tools used to create holes in electrical enclosures, boxes, or panels for cable entry or conduit connections. It’s crucial to follow safety procedures when using knockout punches.
Voltage Testers: Voltage testers, also known as voltage pens or voltage probes, are used to check the presence of voltage in electrical circuits. Electricians should verify the functionality of voltage testers before use and follow safety precautions when working on live circuits.
Fish Tapes and Draw Wires: Fish tapes and draw wires are used to route electrical cables through conduits, ducts, or walls. Proper techniques should be employed to prevent cable damage during installation.
Insulated Tools: When working on live electrical circuits, it’s essential to use insulated tools to minimize the risk of electrical shock. Insulated screwdrivers, pliers, and other hand tools are available for this purpose.
Tool Storage: Proper tool storage, such as tool bags, toolboxes, or tool belts, helps keep hand tools organized and readily accessible while minimizing the risk of damage or loss.
Regular Inspection and Maintenance: Electricians should inspect hand tools regularly for damage or wear and perform maintenance as needed, such as sharpening blades or replacing worn components.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When using hand tools, electricians should wear appropriate PPE, including safety gloves and safety glasses, to protect against potential hazards.

While the Wiring Regulations do not provide specific guidance on individual hand tools, they emphasize the importance of safety practices in electrical work. Electricians and electrical professionals should follow safety guidelines and regulations to ensure the safe and compliant installation and maintenance of electrical systems.
