Boddingtons Electrical Insulated Metric Hex Allen Key Screwdrivers

Insulated Tools are manufactured according to the International IEC60900 standards for working with live systems up to 1000 V AC & 1500 V DC
Insulated Hex Key Screwdrivers are specialized tools designed for driving hexagonal (hex) screws or bolts, particularly in environments where electrical safety is critical. These tools are essential for electricians, technicians, and anyone working near live electrical circuits, providing both functionality and protection against electric shock.

Features
- High torque soft-grip screwdrivers for hexagon socket screws
- Precision hardened Chrome-Vanadium-Molybdenum steel blade
- Blade insulation directly moulded onto the blade
Key Features:
- Insulation:
- The standout feature of insulated hex key screwdrivers is their insulated handles, typically rated to protect against voltages up to 1000V. This insulation is crucial for preventing electrical shock when working near live electrical components.
- Hex Key Tip:
- These screwdrivers feature a hexagonal tip, designed to fit into hex socket screws or bolts. The hex tip ensures a secure fit, reducing the risk of stripping the fastener and allowing for effective torque application.
- Variety of Sizes:
- Insulated hex key screwdrivers come in various sizes, both metric and imperial (SAE), to match different hex fasteners. This variety ensures compatibility with a wide range of applications, from small electronics to larger electrical systems.
- Ergonomic Handle:
- The handles are designed for comfort and control, often featuring a non-slip grip to improve handling. The ergonomic design helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
- Durable Construction:
- The shaft and hex tip are typically made from high-quality steel for strength and durability. The insulation is bonded to the shaft to ensure longevity and safety.
- Color-Coded:
- Many insulated hex key screwdrivers have color-coded handles to quickly identify different sizes, making it easier to select the correct tool for the job.
Applications:
- Electrical Installation and Maintenance:
- These tools are ideal for electricians who need to work on equipment or installations where hex screws are used and where there's a risk of contact with live circuits, such as in electrical panels, switchgear, and terminal blocks.
- Telecommunications:
- Useful in telecommunications for securing components that use hex fasteners, especially in environments where live circuits may be present.
- Automotive Repair:
- Particularly in hybrid and electric vehicles, insulated hex key screwdrivers are used to ensure safety when working near electrical components.
- Industrial Maintenance:
- Employed in industrial settings to maintain machinery and equipment that use hex fasteners, especially in situations where the equipment might be energized.
