Insulated Steel Tools Key Aspects:

1. Insulation: The primary feature of these tools is the non-conductive layer that covers the handles or the entire tool. This insulation is usually made from materials like plastic or rubber.

2. Voltage Rating: Insulated tools are rated for a specific maximum voltage. Common ratings include 1000V and 10,000V, ensuring they can handle the voltage present in typical electrical systems.

3. Certification and Standards: Quality insulated tools comply with international safety standards such as IEC 60900, ASTM F1505, and OSHA regulations. These certifications ensure the tools are safe for electrical work.

4. Durability: These tools are built to withstand high stress and environmental factors while maintaining their insulating properties.
