The ones HD sell are pretty good, last one is a reversible needle nose and stripper. I can't wait for the comments on how crappy they are by Nathan.lol

Home Depot and Lowes used to stock a bunch of Klein/knipex. Now the shelf space is taken by cheap chi com *s-word.

And by the way...Thomas and Betts FTW

I like and use the snap-on butane iron. The snap on strippers are great. But not great for very small wire.

I have yet to break a wire with the Bic and thumbnail. I have a few different wire strippers but mostly use a Bic. I also solder and heat shrink anything exposed to the great outdoors.

Plies would be 9 inch Klein linemans pliers .Strippers it's a toss up and having been an electrician for some 47 years I have many .

I have soldering irons from a little 35 watt pencil iron ,several Weller guns from 60 watt to 200 .I've got some giant American Beauty irons ,200 watt,300 watt and a 550 watt that can melt bar solder and solder a radiator .

In addition several old coppers you heat with a torch.Last but not least a B bottle actylene turbo torch that I used recently to sweat the piping for a compressor change on my geo thermal unit .The space was so tight I could not silver braze it so I used Stay bright 92 % tin ,8% silver solder . It held a 400 PSI pressure test so it's good to go .

I have something pretty similar. Not off the tool truck so I'm sure it was much cheaper.
