There are 6 basic household wiring tools. These are a multi-blade screwdriver containing at least small and large flat blades , a #2 (or medium Philips ) and (in North America)a #1 and #2 Robertson . Next is a pair of electricians 6" flatnose pliers with a wirecutter, a pair of 4" long-nose pliers, and a multi wire stripper. - Finally a meter of some kind. - I personally prefer a multimeter with a 'clamp-on' ammeter device. -There are smaller simpler meters around $18-20 to buy. You should ALWAYS check that power is OFF at any area you're working. This is especially important when replacing switches and wall outlets, where you may touch a contact and get a shock. (You can use a two wire diode to detect electrical power and many do, - personally as a trained electrician I'm not in favor of these and find them unreliable ) It's always handy to have half a dozen Marrettes (wire nuts)in your pocket in case you need them.
The most important tool is your brain and commonsense - be careful, check power, don't trust others saying "it's off" - check personally with your meter.
Never work where water is all around especially if you have to stand in it !
- THINK and be safe -
