Tools for every electrician, from apprentice to master.
Electricians need compact cordless drills and impact drivers (M12 or compact 20V MAX), SDS rotary hammers for anchor work, fish tape, conduit benders, non-contact voltage testers, wire strippers, inspection cameras, and organized bits. Tight-space access matters more than peak torque.
Stubby impacts, rotary hammers, testers, and M12 tools that reach where full-size drills can't.
Electricians live in stubby impacts, M12 ratchets, inspection cameras, wire strippers, and good hole saws. Weight matters when you're on ladders all day.

FAQ for electrical pros.
M18 or M12 for electricians?+
Most electricians run both. M18 for drill / impact / rotary hammer; M12 for installation (ratchet, stubby impact, inspection camera, 90-degree right-angle drill). One platform won't cover the full lineup as well as both.
What rotary hammer do I need?+
1" SDS-Plus handles 99% of electrical anchor work (1/4"-5/8" anchors into concrete or block). The Milwaukee 2912-20 M18 FUEL is the top pick; DeWalt DCH273 is the 20V MAX equivalent.
Which cordless tester should I start with?+
A Fluke T6-1000 PRO or Klein MM720 clamp meter covers most residential/commercial work. Add a Fluke FLK-62 for HVAC/temperature troubleshooting.
Do I really need a right-angle drill?+
Yes, for rough-in. You'll drill 80% of your holes with a regular drill, but that last 20% (in floor joists, tight framing, between studs) requires a right-angle. The M12 FUEL 2564-22 is the compact standard.
