Choosing electrician hand tools often comes down to how much versatility you want in one pouch. The Milwaukee 48-22-6119 4-Piece Electrician Tool Set and the 13-Piece Insulated Electrician Screwdriver Set take two different routes: one packs a multi-purpose kit into four tools, the other gives you a wider spread of insulated screwdrivers. The table below shows how their listed prices and contents line up.
Quick verdict
If you want a compact carry-all that can strip and cut wire, drive screws, and open boxes, the Milwaukee 48-22-6119 set is the broader starter. If your days are screwdriver-heavy and you want multiple tip types in one organized set, the 13-piece insulated screwdriver set is the more complete driver collection.

Where each set wins
- Milwaukee 48-22-6119 wins when you want one kit that spans several jobs. The stripper/cutter has a swing-lock design for one-handed operation and can cut through #6 and #8 bolts, while the folding knife opens one-handed and the screwdriver adds 8 bits and 3 nut drivers. This is the better fit for a small pouch or a quick electrician hand-tool set.
- 13-Piece Insulated Electrician Screwdriver Set wins when you need a deeper lineup of driver tips. The kit includes 3 Torx, 2 Phillips, 2 Pozidriv, and 4 slotted screwdrivers plus an electroprobe, giving you solid fastener variety in one collection.
Milwaukee 48-22-6119 Electrician Tool Set
If the goal is one compact kit that can move from wire work to fasteners without rebuilding your whole pouch, start here. The set centers on a wire stripper/cutter built for solid and stranded wire; its swing-lock keeps the tool closed when stored, and the curved blade handles larger wire sizes plus #6 and #8 bolts. The 11-in-1 multi-bit screwdriver with square drive rounds out the driving side, and the tri-lobe handle has visible ID markings. The FASTBACK folding utility knife opens with a press-and-flip action, so you can get it into use quickly. The trade-off is that this is one multi-bit screwdriver rather than a lineup of dedicated insulated drivers. If most of your day is pure screwdriving, this kit is less specialized.
13-Piece Insulated Electrician Screwdriver Set
This set takes the opposite approach: it builds a full spread of driver solutions around an insulated platform. Certified for 1000V VDE, the kit includes 3 Torx, 2 Phillips, 2 Pozidriv, and 4 slotted screwdrivers, plus an electroprobe and a removable handle. The chrome vanadium steel blades and magnetic tip help with fastener pickup and alignment, and the manganese phosphate surface is part of the blade finish. The removable handle lets you swap blades directly and release them with a push switch, keeping the kit organized. The limitation is that this is a screwdriver-focused set, so there is no utility knife or wire stripper/cutter in the box. Pair it with the cutting tools you already carry, and it becomes a solid driver-only companion.
Final choice by use case
- Carry one compact electrician hand-tool kit: Go with the Milwaukee 48-22-6119 Electrician Tool Set. It gives you cutting and driving coverage in one compact kit, so you don't have to assemble a pouch of separate pieces.
- Build a dedicated screwdriver collection: Go with the 13-Piece Insulated Electrician Screwdriver Set. You get broader tip coverage in a screwdriver-only set, so your fastener work is covered even though you'll carry separate cutting tools.
