Insulated Tool for EV Repairs

In our opinion, the top five tools that every EV technician needs are pliers, ratchets, screwdrivers, sockets and spanners.

Starting off with the basics, an insulated plier is one of the most common tools you’ll need in your kit, perfect for twisting, gripping and cutting wires and cables. Screwdrivers are essential for working on the components found in EV’s such as the battery, and ratchets, sockets, and spanners are car toolkit necessities.

Each of these tools is a vital part of a toolkit for working on any vehicle, so having insulated versions for working on EV’s means you have the tools you’ll definitely need and that they’ll give you the necessary protection.

Outside of these core five we are able to offer many specialist tools such as torque wrenches, saws, hammers and allen keys, all insulated for protection against electrocution risk.

Insulated tools protect you against injury if you make contact with an energized source. Every insulated tool must be marked with an official 1,000-volt rating symbol and the year it was insulated. These markings indicate that the tool will protect you for live use up to 1,000 VAC or 1,500 VDC.

These tools will have been tested to meet the strict standards of VDE certification, with every insulated tool bearing the VDE logo.
