Klein Tools offers apprentices discounted toolkit
Klein Tools is offering apprentices a comprehensive Technician’s Tool Kit at a great value price to support people coming into the electrical industry with the high quality, safe and durable hand tools they need to succeed.
Available from CEF, the Technician’s Tool Kit offers everything an apprentice needs to get started, all in one Tradesman Pro Tool Gear backpack. The discounted kit contains a selection of five insulated screwdrivers (PoziDriv® and CAB tip), diagonal cutting pliers and combination pliers plus handy accessories like a double hook magnetic tape and an aluminium torpedo level.
The tool kit also features some fantastic cable routing products from Super Rod, including the handy polymer rod set and a Gekko Gripper, which uses powerful magnets to thread cables in awkward spaces.
Klein Tools have been making hand tools in the USA for more than 160 years. Every tool is designed to meet the needs of people working in the electrical industry and are built to last a lifetime – a quality that experienced professionals look for. In a recent survey of installers carried out by Klein Tools in the UK, 95% of respondents said they chose hand tools on whether they were durable or not. Safety and efficiency were also qualities that experienced sparkys looked for when making a new hand tool purchase.
Klein Tools’ Malcolm Duncan said: “When first starting out in the electrical trade, it’s easy to think that buying cheaper hand tools makes economic sense – particularly on an apprentice’s wages. But this can be a short sighted approach, as inevitably, cheaper tools don’t last as long and need replacing very quickly. If you know where to look, apprentices can pick up some fantastic tools at a great price – like our Technician’s Tool Kit – knowing that these will last them a lifetime.”
