Why insulated hand tools

Safety is critical when working with electricity.

Follow the right procedures. Wear the proper

clothes. Use eye and hearing protection. And make

sure you use the right tools.

It is always best practice to work on deenergized

equipment. But sometimes that’s just not possible.

Wiring changes made by someone else may pro-

vide an unplanned energy path to where you are

working. You need to take every precaution you can.

That means using high quality insulated hand tools.

Most hand tools have rubber or plastic on the

handles. That’s not the same as offering protection

from electric shock, and limiting the possibility of

arc faults due to short circuits. That’s what makes

insulated tools different.

Why Fluke insulated hand tools

Fluke is the world leader in handheld test tools. Everything that you

know about Fluke multimeters, clamp meters and electrical test tools

applies to our insulated hand tools.

Forged from German steel, these rugged hand tools are built to last a

lifetime. That’s why they carry a lifetime warranty.* If a Fluke

insulated hand tool is defective, take it to a distributor for

replacement. Or contact Fluke (www.fluke.com/tools/warranty).

Fluke insulated tools always feel right. From the moment you first

put them in your hand, you’re ready to go to work. The pliers offer a

smooth, solid motion, without a need for break-in. The screwdrivers

give you maximum torque and a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue.

Take everything that makes Fluke test tools great, and put that into

insulated hand tools. That’s what you’ll have on your toolbelt.
