What to give an electrician and power engineer for his birthday and for power engineer's day?

For any occasion, you can give an electrician a professional tool or equipment that will be useful in their work. An expensive and high-quality item will make it easier for the electrician to carry out work on replacing and installing cables and sockets. On any holiday, an electrician can be pleased with other gifts: themed souvenirs, games, and decorative items.

Decor and dishes

Themed gifts can fit well into the interior of an electrician’s apartment. You can give a lot of things to an electrician related to the profession:

metal cup holder with an image of an electrical circuit;
table or floor lamp with a support in the form of a power line;
a creative attachment for a socket, for example, in the shape of an animal;
decorative candles with images of current and sparks;
plasma lamp;
a mug with inscriptions and drawings: an image of lightning, a Tesla coil, a formula for current strength (Ohm's law);
decorative decanter in the form of a retro lantern;

A set of electric themed shot glasses. In an advertising agency, various thematic pictures can be applied to a set of stacks. It will be a pleasure to show such a gift to a large group of friends.
Book-box. You can use the cover from an electrician's handbook as a cover. This deception is difficult to notice the first time. But the owner of the gift will have his own original hiding place.
Mug with inscriptions, drawings and lightning. It is best if it is a thermos that can be taken for street or high-altitude work.

For work

This is a category of practical gifts, since the field of activity of an electrician is directly related to certain devices and their normal operation, then tools and other devices are relevant for many. Which the electrician himself is never going to buy or is simply used to doing without them.

A utility knife is useful when cutting low-current wires, removing insulation, installation and other work.

Stationery knife

Pocket level - used when installing sockets, switches, panels, whose position plays an important aesthetic role in the surrounding space. It is better to give an electrician a model with a magnet, as it will be able to stick to a metal base.

Pocket level

Press pliers - used for crimping sleeves or lugs on cable conductors. They are selected according to a specific diameter, since universal models are used quite rarely.

Press jaws

A headlamp is especially important for installers and operators whose duties require them to work in complete darkness. It is better to choose models with variable lighting angles and adjustable focus.

Headlamp

Pliers, wire cutters and long-nose pliers - for working in electrical installations, be sure to choose models with high-quality insulation on the handles and made of good steel.

Insulation stripping pliers are a good alternative to a utility knife or wire cutters. They do not damage the veins, but perform only one function, so many specialists prefer not to spend money on them.

Stripping pliers

Tool set - already includes various screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches and much more. Contents and price depend on the specific set.

Set of tools

A tool box is relevant for electricians who travel a lot and are forced to collect tools in the car each time.

Tool box

A wall chaser is used by installers, but due to its high price and narrowly targeted use, electricians put off purchasing it.
