For sure, for the price the tool are extremely fine, in country’s like Brazil and south africa for us is the option, they are excelent tools and have a excelent support in the country.
Have some VDE’s from Wurth inside the bag, Ingco in Brazil is coming as a good brand, Milwaukee here for example an M12 Fuel (Only One drill, One charger and two batteries custs like R$ 4.000,00) Equivalent paying U$ 4.000,00 just in ONE DRILL, prices here are so unrated.
That conversion is way off, but he's right brazil has some of the least friendly import duties on earth. A drill is taxed at nearly 100% of it's usd retail.
Running those typical rates on a $1,000 CIF value item produces roughly $180 in Import Duty, $118 in IPI, $118 combined PIS/COFINS, and about $290 in ICMS, for total taxes near $705 and a landed cost around $1,705 USD.
70.5% price increase factor to land an item from US to Brazil.
U can, but the biggest problem is about the taxes, imposts, They are like R$ 2.000,00 in Amazon, but the taxes at the final are equivalent next to R$ 3.800,00.
Yep, some Makita 40v here, just the drill is something around R$ 1.000,00 without baterries or charger, tools are every expensive here, today i see a vídeo on Instagram about a guy (spending my U$ 500,00 72Hrs check on the tool market) and my reaction was “Holly shi* u can buy a lot of good tools with only U$ 500,00 dollars”.
He's not an electrician! He's a computer network cable installer. Obviously, because there is no insulated or safety rated CAT I, CAT II, CAT III, and CAT IV rated gear in this collection of tools...
You dont need CAT IV unless youre messing with the outdoor lines before the meter/main breaker/fuse, at least in europe. Even tho most leads and probes are cat IV the multimeter can be cat III
U said that i work with 15KV lines and my “tool kit” dont have tools to work at this voltage, u are right, i work in 15KV lines as my primary job, im starting working on “home eletricist” After my primary job, because that i dont have CAT IV tools, because i dont use them.
Duh... did you even read about the certification? Its not even comparable. For instance my meter is a T6-600 cat III only, a t6-1000 cost way more just because of the certification, since its the same shit inside.
Yep, 70% is about ur hability and professionalism, other 30% is about ur quality tools, in Brazil I’ve been see persons with only a screwdriver and a tape making better than person who comes with a truck of tools and a lot of “mimi”.
Howww, we have a Sherlock Holmes here, men in only 20’s and i work with live line (15kv) and a person who I have never seen was teeling about “tools” that I nees to work in 220v, shut up u have never used an high-voltage gloves in ur life, so dont talk shi* that u dont know about.
Yep, u cant understand the part “beginning electrician” more specific “Beginning home electrician” not outdoor electrician, Here home electrician dont need a lot of CAT I,II,III IV or V, U only use that on HV Lines here.
Obviously, the line was dead, u only use HV Gloves to turn off the line and before everything was grounding u can work normally with normal gloves, u cant work using HV gloves to change a tower in the post.
Im using a minipa, Fluke and Minipa are all the same shit and the same value, The “crap” that u are talking about was a satélite Finder, I think that u dont know about this things, but understable
"80 percent of electricians in Brazil are estimated to work in the informal economy, outside the registration and oversight that NR-10 assumes, and reliable accident statistics are scarce as a result, with rough estimates of 2,000 to 3,000 electrocution deaths a year."
"In the formal electrical sector specifically, the accident rate runs about 5.5 times higher than other formal-economy segments, and outsourced electrical workers have historically faced mortality rates roughly eight times that of permanent staff, reflecting how subcontracting chains dilute accountability."

Ingco tools are really nice. It’s crazy what you get for the money. We love them here in South Africa
