Our take on the Greenlee 0159-28 Basic Kit

The Greenlee 0159-28 Basic Kit is a four-piece electrical starter set: 8-inch long-nose pliers, a wire stripper, a 6-in-1 multi-tool and a four-pocket polyester pouch. It covers stripping, cutting and gripping, so it suits apprentices and homeowners wiring outlets, switches and fixtures. Compared with larger electrician kits it is small and light at under 2 lbs, but it skips a dedicated crimper and screwdriver set. Greenlee's dipped grips and forged pliers are the draw; the pouch is basic and the set is a starting point, not a full bag.

Pros
  • Covers stripping, cutting and gripping in one small kit
