Don't be a Fool! Are you using the correct Insulated Tool?

Why do you need Insulated Tools?

Insulated Tools

Remember this Valentine’s Day, a spark in love and a spark from an electrical hazard are two very different things!

Do you feel the Spark?

When it comes to working on High Voltage systems, it isn’t just what you wear... There are Critical Tools (pun very much intended!) that are necessary to keep you and your co-workers safe. You might feel it’s just easy to grab a regular wrench or socket set out of your tool box, but taking the extra time to procure the appropriate tool can be life saving.

Our Critical Insulated Tools for working with high voltage are double coated to make sure there is no question that these tools are ready to use! While many of our OEL Insulated Tools for Workers have lifetime warranties, tools can become damaged when not taken care of properly. Tossing them into a tool box can cause abrasions or cuts to the insulation which can allow electricity to flow through to you. The double insulation will show you when damage has been done by showing the yellow bottom coating through letting you know it’s time to replace!



Our Double Insulated Electrical Tools are Made in the USA and many meet the specifications for Electric Vehicle (EV) Maintenance. We offer Insulated Tools in large, comprehensive kits like our OEL MTK Deluxe Maintenance 30 Piece Insulated Tool Kit with 30 pieces, our 20 Piece OEL Insulated Electricians Tool Kit and sell Individual Insulated Hand Tools for when you need to replace a single item in your kit or are in need of a back-up.
