Tools For The Christmas List

[Niall]

Nice set of pliers and snips, nothing can beat a NICE set of snips IMHO with flat backs so cable ties are cut flush so you don't cut yourself of them 24/7 and so you're not there squeezing as hard as you can, should just go like hot knife through butter. Knipex FTW!

Also, if you do any electrical stuff, good quality set of crimpers and crimps, not the shit you buy off the shelf at Halfords or most electrical places! Nothing annoys me more than dodgy electrical connections due to poor quality crimps!

This. Knipex will destroy most stuff you cut lol.
good tool to have is some proper ratchet crimping pliers. You would be surprised just how much better they are than normal ones.
