Electrical Construction and Utility Operations: Tool List

All students in this program are responsible for having the following tools and supplies. 

The approximate cost of the tools and supplies is $800.

Permanently identify (e.g., engrave) each of your tools because your classmates will all have the same or similar looking tools.

Textbooks: Required textbooks can be purchased at the Campus Bookstore.  For a listing of the textbooks, contact your division office. The approximate annual cost of the textbooks is $400.

Purchase only professional quality tools.  Past students have purchased tools at Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's, and specialty stores that sell electrical supplies.  Computer Internet purchases can also be made through a variety of sources.
