V rated tools

V rated tools

All my stuff is from Klien but that's just personal preference. Spend the money for quality tools, especially these tools. They may be expensive but not as expensive as a funeral and besides, like my original JM always told me,, "Tools don't make the electrician, but they darn sure help."

I would check out NFPA 70E first. We spend a great deal of money training and equiping the field guys and our supervisors and sales people (anyone who will be in the vicinity of energized gear). Also review some pictures of Arc Flash. Been in the business 42 years and never thought much about it (never got burned but did get flashed).
Temperatures can reach 35,000F in a fireball moving at 5,000 ft per sec etc. You can't outrun this. I've always disliked insulated tools because you come to depend on them and can develop a false sense of security. They do develop knicks etc. over time. Next time someone tells you they can't afford to de-energize a circuit, ask yourself can you afford not to?
