    Work shock-free around live electrical equipment. Insulated handles on these wrenches prevent electric shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. They’re tested to withstand up to 1,000 volts to meet the IEC 60900 standard.
    Steel—Highly durable, but can rust over time.
    Ultra Grip—Shaped for maximum comfort and slip resistance. These wrenches reduce strain to prevent cramping and soreness during repetitive tasks and long work days.
    Measuring Scale—View inch or metric markings to quickly and precisely set your wrench size.

    Insulated grips safeguard against accidental contact with live electrical circuits. Guards keep your fingers from slipping down the handles. These pliers are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505.
    Flat Jaw—The most common style, these pliers have a broad contact area for gripping objects of various shapes. They’re good for nuts, bolts, sheets, and pipe.
    V-Jaw—With the most contact points, these pliers get the tightest grip on round, hex, and irregularly shaped workpieces.
    Cushion Grip—Absorb pressure to make gripping and squeezing the handles more comfortable. They also add slip resistance for a secure hold.
    Ultra Grip—Shaped for maximum comfort and slip resistance. These pliers reduce strain to prevent cramping and soreness during repetitive tasks and long work days.
    Knipex—Smooth movement and strength that looks as good as it feels. These pliers are forged from chrome-vanadium steel and the jaws are ground until they gleam. All components are engineered and manufactured in Germany.
    McMaster-Carr Approved—In addition to Channellock and Knipex, we’ve handpicked these pliers from other high-quality manufacturers.

    Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These pliers are tested to 1,000 volts to meet ASTM F1505. Install and remove multiple sizes of both internal and external retaining rings. Flip the switch to alternate between working inside a bore for internal retaining rings and around a shaft for external retaining rings. Change tips for a different size or angle; loosen the set screw using the included hex key. Pliers have an adjustable handle stop that prevents you from over-expanding or over-contracting retaining rings.

    Make finer adjustments than other insulated pliers so you don’t have to squeeze as hard for a firm grip. These tools have up to three times as many jaw positions and a push-button release. The insulated grips protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits. Guards keep your fingers from slipping down the handles. Pliers are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505.

    Electrically-Insulating Adjustable Torque Wrenches

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation.

    Insulated to protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits, these wrenches are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900. Set torque and they will indicate when it's reached with an audible click and an impulse in the grip. To relieve pressure on the spring and maintain calibration, set torque to the lowest reading on the scale when not in use. These wrenches come with a calibration certificate, which includes test measurements that confirm accuracy.
    Torque—You can tighten fasteners that require less torque than the values listed, but the accuracy ratings apply only within the specified range.
