Top Klauke Tools you need to have in the Van

As an electrician, you spend most of your days in between job sites. Sometimes your van is your office. As efficiency is always key, you need to have tools you can always rely on. The essential electrician’s tool kit hasn’t changed a lot over the years, but van or tool bag space is always limited, so your tools need to be compact and highly versatile.

Working in the electricity field requires a lot of focus and attention to details. Therefore, your van and everything around you should be fairly organized, so you can fully concentrate on the job itself. A tidy van and a fully equipped toolbox at hand guarantee your peace of mind and will help you get through the day faster, easier and more efficiently.
