Submitted by Mike Miller, Curriculum & Training Manager
Embarking on this new year, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a prosperous and triumphant 2024 to all electrical workers and suppliers! The demand for your invaluable services shows no signs of abating, and it appears poised to remain consistently robust for the near future.
As we embrace the novelty of the year, I find it opportune to introduce you to some innovative tools that have surfaced in recent times, potentially revolutionizing the way projects unfold. While some of this equipment may already be familiar to you, it's always beneficial to share insights collectively.
The landscape of tools has been transformed by integrating electronic innovations from various spheres of life. These advancements not only simplify our work but also enhance safety, precision, and cost-effectiveness. Among the noteworthy innovations are Smart multi meters and wireless inspection cameras.
An exciting addition to the toolkit is the availability of a handheld digital oscilloscope for under $200. This dual-channel unit facilitates voltage comparison between sources, making it an indispensable instrument for assessing voltage quality and evaluating electrical/electronic circuit components. Its onboard memory system allows for the storage of crucial data.
Another standout is a popular digital test meter featuring an LCD numeric display of current and voltage simultaneously. With an open-type current testing jaw, this device is remarkably user-friendly and accommodates both gloved and bare hand operation. The inclusion of a data lock feature further enhances its functionality.
In the realm of inspection cameras, affordability has taken center stage, simplifying visual observations within walls and ceilings. This innovation not only eases the process of fishing wires and cables during rework projects but also serves as a versatile tool, functioning as a still shot camera or a fully operational wireless video recorder. A vast number of systems are available across a wide range of price points.
To explore these transformative electronics firsthand, I encourage you to connect with one of our esteemed member wholesalers. Discover the tools that not only elevate the safety of your work but also contribute to increased profitability. Here's to a year filled with innovation, efficiency, and success!
