Generally you will need a flathead and/or Phillips screwdriver depending on the particular plug. And a pair of wire cutters & wire strippers for cutting the wire to length, and stripping off the insulation.
Obviously an important safety tip is to make absolutely sure there is not power going to the plug before performing any work on it. Household current can kill instantly.

What color goes where in a 230v plug?
In a 230V plug, the standard color coding is as follows: the brown wire is the live (L) wire, the blue wire is the neutral (N) wire, and the green/yellow striped wire is the earth (E) wire.
