The JATC recommends that you use Klein tools on the job. It is not a requirement that you purchase Klein tools, you may choose any brand you want. But remember, these are the tools you will earn a living with, so you should select a brand of high quality. Klein tools are available at many electrical material wholesale companies. If you tell them that you are in the apprenticeship program, they will generally sell them to you at the contractor’s price.
If you wish, the JATC can furnish the tools needed (M2039076KIT). The price is $300, which is to be paid at the time you place your order with the JATC for these tools. NJATC item #KLE39076 is $276.18 – with shipping, it’s $300.
