Boddingtons Electrical Insulated Metric Box T Handle Nut Driver
Insulated Tools are manufactured according to the International IEC60900 standards for working with live systems up to 1000 V AC & 1500 V DC
An insulated metric box T-handle nut driver is a specialized tool designed for turning hexagonal nuts and bolts, especially in environments where electrical safety is a concern. The "insulated" feature ensures the tool can be safely used around live electrical circuits, while the "T-handle" design offers ergonomic advantages and improved torque control.
Key Features:
Insulation:
- Non-Conductive Handle: The handle is coated with non-conductive materials, such as rubber or plastic, which prevents electrical conduction and protects the user from electrical shocks. This insulation is crucial when working with live electrical components.
- Insulation Rating: The handle’s insulation is typically rated to withstand specific voltage levels, ensuring it is safe for use in various electrical environments. Always verify that the insulation rating is appropriate for the application.
T-Handle Design:
- Ergonomic Grip: The T-handle provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip that allows for greater leverage and control. This design helps in applying more torque compared to other handle types.
- Improved Torque: The T-handle design enables efficient turning and tightening of nuts and bolts, making it easier to apply higher torque without exerting excessive force.
Metric Size:
- Box End: The driver typically features a box end that fits around the nut or bolt. The box end is often designed to fit various sizes of metric fasteners, ensuring versatility.
- Metric Measurements: The tool is designed for use with metric-sized fasteners, which means it has various sizes corresponding to the metric system (e.g., 8mm, 10mm, 12mm).
Durability:
- High-Quality Materials: The driver is made from durable materials such as chrome vanadium steel or other strong alloys, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear.
- Precision Fit: The box end is precisely machined to fit snugly over nuts and bolts, reducing the risk of slippage and ensuring a secure grip.
Common Uses:
- Electrical Work: Ideal for electricians and maintenance professionals who need to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts around live electrical components safely.
- Telecommunications and Data Centers: Useful in environments where electrical safety is a concern and where precise torque control is required.
- General Maintenance: Suitable for various maintenance tasks where metric-sized nuts and bolts are used, and where insulation is beneficial for added safety.
Safety Considerations:
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the insulation for signs of wear or damage. Compromised insulation can reduce the tool's effectiveness in preventing electrical shocks.
- Use Properly: Ensure that the tool’s insulation is rated for the voltage levels present in your work environment. Follow proper safety practices and use additional personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary
An insulated metric box T-handle nut driver combines safety with functionality, making it an essential tool for professionals working in electrically hazardous environments. Its ergonomic design and insulation features ensure both safety and efficiency during use.
