LAST YEAR, I started this column to profile interesting and challenging industrial projects from the contractor's perspective. This month, I depart from that format to cover specific tools contractors need for large industrial projects. The basic types of electricians' tools are routinely used in these projects, but industrial work may require heavier-duty models.

These include electric conduit benders and bending stations, cable pullers, cable reels and cable handling equipment for larger diameter, heavier cables, and demolition hammers. Portable work lifts, generators and portable lighting also are prominent.
