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.
