WORDS BY JOEY KNAPP
A look at 15 tools used daily in the modern installation bay, why they’re reliable and where you can find them. Years ago my good friend Bing wrote an article about uncommon tools used in car audio installation. One of the items he touched on was chopsticks. He suggested using chopsticks to run wires through rubber boots. Every now and then, when I am out working with him in California, I will joke with him about it. While I might not be sold on using chopsticks for running wires, I did use the tool concept as the idea for this month’s article. We are going to be looking at some of the most commonly used installation tools that I work with on a routine basis. This article’s focus is installation. Next month we will look at some of my most valued fabrication tools. This isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list of tools, but rather an overview of some of my go-to selections. Part numbers are included for most tools, in case anyone wants to add them to their collection.
