All Klein insulated tools comply with ASTM F-1505 and IEC 60900 standards for insulated tools and are clearly marked with the official international
1000-volt rating symbol. Not all tools with plastic coatings or plastic handles provide protection against electrical shock. Only use those tools that are
marked with the official international 1000-volt rating symbol, as shown, if there is any chance that the tool will make contact with an energized source.
Klein's Classic Lineman's insulated tools feature large, bright orange handles making the tool comfortable to use all day and easy to identify in the field.
The Electrician's line of insulated tools (EINS) provides a multi-color, sleeker design than the Classic Lineman's insulated tools. EINS tools have passed
VDE third party testing certification to the IEC 60900 standard. This line of tools provides the everyday protection the electrician needs in a compact,
lightweight design.
Product numbers with the INS and EINS suffix contain these warnings
below and must be understood.
WARNING: Do NOT touch uninsulated portion of the tool or any conductive object
when either might contact an energized source.
WARNING: Because moisture, films, or other surface contaminants are conductive,
Klein insulated tools must be kept clean, dry, and free of any surface contaminants.
WARNING: Whenever possible, always de-energize lines and equipment prior to
working on or around them. Klein insulated tools are designed only to reduce the chance
of injury where the tool may make contact with an energized source.
WARNING: Wear approved eye protection. Always inspect your tools before use. Do
not use if orange coating cracks, breaks or becomes damaged. Destroy tool if white layer
shows through orange layer.
WARNING: Only use tools that are marked with the official international 1000-volt
rating symbol shown below, if there is any chance
that the tools will make contact with an energized source.
