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

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.

• They are designed to block potentially hazardous
voltages from reaching you.
• They are subjected to a 10,000 V dielectric
strength test, to prove the protection works.
• They are certified to 1,000 V ac and 1,500 V dc
by VDE, an independent third-party lab.
• They comply to international standards such as
IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505.
• They are a critical part of NFPA 70E, which
requires personal protective equipment and
insulated tools rated for the electrical installation.
Insulated tools are a critical protective component
between you and an unplanned incident.
