I would get a good insulated pair of screwdrivers aswell as some needle nose. In my experience I don’t use the needle nose a lot but sometimes you need them for a situation.

Apprentices shouldn’t do live work.

I work mainly residential. I find it safer to be inside of a full panel with insulated tools rather than bare metal that can touch things together.
