6.1 Tools
Most of the tools that you might need are shown below. Some are optional.
ELECTRICAL PLIERS or STRIPPERS :
For cutting and stripping small electrical wire.
VOM (VOLT-OHM METER):
For testing electrical circuits. If you do not have one, please get one.
An inexpensive one will suffice, as long as it has both "AC Voltage" and "Resistance" (i.e.
Rx1, Rx10) settings on the dial. It will do for our purposes.
BUTT CONNECTORS, CRIMPERS, WIRE NUTS and ELECTRICAL TAPE:
For splicing small wire.
When splicing wire on ovens, you must make sure you use high-temp connections, such as
porcelain wire nuts, high-temp terminals and fiberglass insulated wire.
ALLIGATOR JUMPERS
(
sometimes called a "CHEATER" or "CHEATER WIRE"): Available at
your local electronics store.
SCREW-DRIVERS:
Both flat and Phillips head; two or three sizes of each. It's best to have at
least a stubby, 4-inch and 6-inch sizes.
NUT-DRIVERS, WRENCHS:
You will need a 1/4 to 1/2 inch size.
