Description
Tanner is at NECA 2026 in Las Vegas, checking out some of the newest electrical tools, equipment, and technology hitting the industry!
From innovative fish tapes and conduit benders to smarter circuit breakers, new knockout tools, and testing equipment, we're taking a closer look at products designed to make electricians' jobs easier.
In this video, we visit IDEAL Electrical to see their Helix and BlueView fish tapes and Guardian Bender. We also catch up with Hunter Franssen, inventor of the Wire Waffle, the 2026 EC&M Product of the Year Platinum Award winner.
Then we're checking out DEWALT's hydraulic knockout tool, Spyder's impact-driver-compatible knockout set, ABB's ReliaHome ELITE circuit breakers and surge protection, Hilti's battery-powered fastening tools and quick-connect anchors, and Ripley's wire stripping equipment.
Finally, we stop by Fluke to explore their new electrician training kits, including the Apprentice Dual-Meter Kit, along with compact thermal imaging and acoustic inspection technology.
Whether you're an apprentice, journeyman, master electrician, or electrical contractor, there's something interesting here for just about everyone.
