For electricians working to EN/IEC 60900

Suited for technicians who need insulated hand tools that meet ASTM 1505, NFPA 70E, CSA and OSHA 29 CFR 1910 standards. Not intended for buyers who require tether-capable sockets or impact-rated drive tools.

Double-covered red-over-yellow insulation

The insulation system provides a visible wear indicator: if the yellow layer shows through the red, the socket must be replaced. This single feature determines whether the tool remains compliant for energised work.
