I'm an avionics technician and I approve of your tool selection! The only thing I'd add is a pair of diagonal cutters for cutting wire to preserve the flush cutter blades, but other than that these are the right tools.
For the new technician (I’m relatively new): Some companies will prohibit you from using your own personal tools that require calibration, wire strippers, crimpers and multimeters. This is the case with a commercial job I just accepted. So don’t go out on a spending spree before you have all the information. Ask the company for a required tool list, or just tell them what you have and they will tell you what to leave at the house. In general aviation, or companies that don’t have a prohibited tools list, my advice is to invest in your own stuff. There’s nothing worse than waiting half a day to use a crimper somebody has checked out of the tool crib. Especially when they forget to check it back in, lol.
Thank goodness!!! Took me forever to find someone to show and EXPLAIN these tools. Thanks!!
