• Blade insulation directly moulded onto the blade
• Ergonomic soft-grip, multi-component handle
  
  

Key Features:

1. Insulation: The screwdriver shaft and handle are coated with a non-conductive material, often rubber or high-quality plastic, to prevent electrical current from passing through the tool to the user. This insulation typically extends from the handle down the shaft, ensuring comprehensive protection.

2. TORX Tip: The tip is designed to fit TORX screws, which have a six-pointed star-shaped recess. These screws are commonly used in automotive, electronics, and industrial applications due to their ability to distribute force more evenly and reduce wear compared to other screw types.

3. Ergonomic Handle: Insulated TORX screwdrivers usually feature an ergonomic handle designed for comfort and a secure grip. The handles are often textured or shaped to reduce hand fatigue, making them suitable for extended use.

4. Durability: These screwdrivers are built from high-strength materials, with the insulation resistant to wear, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. This ensures the screwdriver remains effective and safe over time.

Applications:

• Electrical Work: Ideal for safely working on electrical equipment, control panels, and other systems where live electricity may be present.
• Automotive: Used in automotive electrical systems and other components that require TORX screws.
• Electronics: Suitable for assembling or disassembling electronic devices where TORX screws are used, especially when electrical safety is a concern.
• Industrial Maintenance: Used in machinery and equipment that often utilize TORX screws for their durability and torque transmission properties.

Safety Standards:

Insulated TORX screwdrivers typically meet or exceed safety standards such as ASTM F1505 or IEC 60900. These standards ensure the tools are safe to use in environments where the user may be exposed to live electrical currents.

Types:

• Standard Length: For general applications.
• Long-Reach: Designed for accessing screws in deep or hard-to-reach areas.
• Precision: Smaller screwdrivers for detailed work in electronics or delicate components.
  
  

Insulated TORX screwdrivers are essential for professionals who need the specific functionality of a TORX driver while ensuring safety when working around electricity. They combine the precision and durability required for demanding tasks with the electrical protection necessary for safety-conscious work environments.

Torx head sizes are described using the capital letter "T" followed by a number ranging from T1 to T100. A smaller number corresponds to a smaller point-to-point dimension of the screw head (diameter of circle circumscribed on the cross-section of the tip of the screw driver). Common sizes include T10, T15, and T25, while T5.5, T35, and T47 tend to see specialized use. Only the proper driver can drive a specific head size without risk of damaging the driver or screw. The same series of Torx drivers is used to drive SAE, metric and other thread system fasteners, reducing the number of bit sizes required.

The "external" variants of Torx head sizes (see below) are described using the capital letter "E" followed by a number ranging from E4 to E44. The "E" numbers are different from the "T" numbers of the same size: for example, an E4 Torx socket fits a T20 head.
