Best for: electricians who need a diagonal cutter rated and marked for use where the tool may contact an energized source, as part of an insulated tool kit.
Klein's insulated tools are designed to reduce injury risk if the tool contacts an energized source, not to replace standard lockout and de-energizing procedures.
