Yea, I used to be a electrician in local 6. Their screwdrivers arn't as good as Snapon, but neither do they cost a fortune. My standard commercial job tooling was a side cutter (Klein, or whatever I had at the time), a slotted screwdriver, wire stripper, and drywall knife. I kept my tools in one pocket of my overalls. I learned pretty quick, I didn't need a bunch of tools to do most run of the mill office wiring. My "Kleins" were used as a hammer. Most union electricians really didn't even talk about the brand. They just used their tools. (Tooling has gotten very good these days though. My days of paying more for a name brand in hand tools are over. I got one, actually two complaints while working on PacPell park. An architect complained to my shop boss over my use of the word "Dykes". My nippers were called dykes by my father, and it stuck with me. The architect thought I was referring to her when I said, "Where are my dykes? He told her that is what some guys we call their side cutters, and everything was fine. The second complain was never tied to me, but I was the one urinating in the finished locker rooms. We were suspose to use the porta potties, but they were always far away, and smelled. Oh yea, my initials are on the top of every locker. I put my initials on the pressed wood before the Cherry laminate went on. When there's a remodel, and those lockers are torn out, they will see my initials. Why? I was bored one morning.)
