Here is a list of basic tools you will need to get started.
A set of screw drivers Phillips and flat head.
I personally hate the multi tip screw drivers but some people like them.
Toss the so called Leatherman tool.
They will get you into trouble big time with electrical work.
Hate the things.
I sent a guy home one time and told him not to come back until he had the right tools.
I told him if he had the money to drink at the bar every night he could darn well afford the right tools.
Jackass I am but I got sick of seeing him get shocked.
Wire strippers not a knife to strip wire.
Wire cutter AKA dikes AKA diagonal pliers.
Lineman pliers are nice too.
Needle nose pliers are nice to reach in and grab wire in tight places.
Good pair of good fitting leather gloves, those outlets and switches can have sharp things on them.
Me, my hands are tough but I have a pair.
Channel locks just because the are handy.
Hammer for when you want to beat the devil out of something.
You dont need all of this stuff but it should be a basic set of tools for any home.
