Fully Insulated linesman plier is a specialized hand tool designed for electrical work, combining cutting, gripping, twisting, and turning functions. It features a robust, durable construction with a serrated gripping surface for handling wires and other materials. The key characteristic is its insulation, which covers the handles and the jaws, providing protection against electrical shocks when working with energized components. This insulation meets IEC 60900 standard for voltage ratings, such as 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC, ensuring safety during high-voltage electrical tasks. Insulated lineman's pliers are essential for electricians, linemen, and electrical technicians performing maintenance, installation, or troubleshooting of electrical systems.
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Store and transport the pliers in a bag or toolbox separate from other tools to avoid mechanical damage. Store the pliers in dry rooms away from heat sources, in a non-aggressive chemical atmosphere. Protect from sunlight. The pliers should be cleaned after each use. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. If it is very dirty, clean the pliers with a cloth dampened with water and mild detergent or with a cloth dampened with ASOREL and dry it thoroughly.
