Now more than ever Repair Technicians today don't just work in their own shop. On site repairs have become common place, which means that in many cases you will need to find a reliable, secure way to transport your tools from one job site to the next. In many cases you will be required to transport your tools to cities across the country which means you will most likely be traveling your tools and test equipment through airports.

When you look at the existing wiring and network connections you discover a wiring disaster that seems impossible, and you don't have any idea how you will be able to determine where all those wires go and what they connect to.Network Cable Testers to the rescue! They are a great way to determine termination points, breaks in cabling, open and shorted connections, crossed and split pairs, and locating switch hubs.

 This phenomenon is referred to as Electrostatic Discharge or (ESD). It is something that most of us have experienced at least once in our lives, and can certainly be amusing at times as well, but it can also cause serious issues when working with electronic equipment such as computers, audio equipment, or any other type of electronic equipment that may have components that contain static sensitive devices. In many cases devices containing these types of sensitive components will have warning labels to make you aware that the device you are servicing or installing is static sensitive, some do not!

The Term Technician Tool Kit is in my opinion is such a broad term that could cover many aspects of Electronic Tools today.

 Today, there are many different types of tools that are used to build and repair electronic devices and equipment. What would be considered electronic tools includes: wire cutters, clippers, crimpers, soldering irons, diagonal cutters, knife sets, tweezers, digital multimeters, handheld oscilloscopes, screwdrivers, security bit sets and many more. For that matter, any tool that is used to work on or test out electronic equipment can be considered an "electronic tool."
 

You just can't get around it these days, cable network installations are in our homes, offices, even in our favorite restaurants. Usually involving computers, telecom systems and even alarm systems. The thought of doing a cable installation yourself can seem quite daunting if you have no experience in cabling. And in some instances there are certain types of cable installation work that is best left to a professional technician. Yet there is no reason to shy away from this type of project if you have the time, proper tools and a well laid out plan before you begin 

 SMD technology has quickly become the norm, but the acceptance and use of the proper tools for this technology have been slow paced to keep up. Many technicians continue to use innovative techniques with older types of tools to do the work on today's newer technologies.
