Hi all,
I'm at the stage in my project where I'm going to be working with HV battery pack/harness junction box etc.
Christmas is coming, so if there are any important tools I'm going to need I could use the opportunity to treat myself.
Insulated spanners/screwdrivers?
Special multimeter? (I have a basic one)
Any recomendations?
Thanks
Dan

The only tool I consider special in my toolset is a high quality crimper (Rennsteig) with inlays for 4-25mm² lugs
