These are 2 tools that anyone doing electrical must have, and are the most used tools by those who earn a paycheck from using them. So important that I think I will put them at the bottom of a few of the Electrical videos I do. The links are so you can see exactly which ones I mean.
These will last you 3 lifetimes as a home owner and worth every penny (these are the cheapest ones I could find with the features needed). You can get away with cheaper tools for many other scenarios but these are two that should be of high quality in my opinion. I can, and have used the same pair for decades on an Industrial job site with no issues.
