The reality is many of those sets include unnecessary tools that take up space that can be better occupied by more essential items they also make the toolbox heavier and more challenging to move. We are somewhat programmed to buy tools in sets such as socket sets, screwdriver sets, wrench sets, etc. I believe it’s important to not include unnecessary tools in a toolbox. If you allow an employee to bring their own tools, inspect them for quality and make sure it’s a tool that belongs on your factory floor. Unnecessary trips away from the job can be reduced or possibly eliminated by keeping additional items such as hose fittings, fuses, fasteners, tapes, and anything relevant to your equipment. Remember, our goal is to maintain and repair the equipment properly and efficiently. Not only do I prefer to select the tools, but I also dictate additional items to be in the mechanic, technician, and electricians’ toolbox. If tool loss becomes an issue, deal with that on its own. Don’t make the job candidates fill a toolbox. Quality tools are expensive, and it can take years to build a decent set. If they are a well-qualified individual, the tools will be evidence of their commitment. I have frequently heard that many employers require maintenance technicians and mechanics to provide their own core tools. As I have written elsewhere, providing tools to your maintenance team is a critical part of getting quality results in their work.
This “ Basic Industrial Maintenance Tool List” is a thorough starting point to build upon. This post is centered on a foundational set of suitable tools for many electrical and industrial maintenance applications. Each will require specific and specialized tools beyond the scope of this entry.
