    Electrical Wire Stripper/Crimpers

    Strip wire and crimp connectors with one tool.
    With Plier Nose, Bolt Cutter, Wire Cutter, and Voltage Detector
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Stripper/Crimpers. Electrical Wire Stripper/Crimpers, With Plier Nose, Bolt Cutter, Wire Cutter, and Voltage Detector.
    Tools with a plier nose are useful for pulling and looping wire.
    Tools with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel tools are good for less frequent use. Their stripping blades dull more quickly than steel tools, but they resist corrosion and won't rust as quickly when stored.

    Bits have a different tip at each end and snap into the shaft. A ball detent holds the bit in place. To use as nutdriver, remove the bit and turn fasteners with the shaft, which is also reversible.
    Ultra Grip—Ultra-grip drivers have a multicomponent handle that provides comfort and the best possible grip for achieving maximum torque.
    Voltage Detector—Those with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own. Bits turn eight screw sizes and the shaft two external hex sizes.

    Fluke Wireless Remote-Reading Voltage Meters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Voltage Meters. Fluke Wireless Remote-Reading Voltage Meters.
    Measure voltage from a distance with these wireless connection-enabled meters that transmit readings to a separate display. Fluke is known for quality and durability.
    The meters work with the Fluke 3000 FC multimeter, a computer with a Fluke pc3000 FC connector plugged in (not included), or a mobile device that has the Fluke Connect app.
    True RMS AC Calculation—The true RMS meter takes accurate AC measurements regardless of the load type or sine wave shape. This is important for testing electronic devices that draw current in short pulses that can distort the shape of the wave, such as computers and adjustable-speed drives.
    Display Count—Display count is an industry designation and not an actual value. These 1,000-count meters show numbers up to 999.

    Shown with Hard Hat

    (Sold Separately)

    Clip these detectors to your hard hat to identify voltage and current from 360°. Without making physical contact, they flash light in the direction of the electrical threat and beep louder as you get closer to it. These lightweight detectors are comfortable to wear all day. They’re often used to identify live conductors, energized lines underground, and residual voltage.
    Set the sensitivity level to determine when the detector alerts you. While the battery life varies depending on the number of alerts, a full charge can last up to five days. Recharge the battery with the included USB charging cable or a standard USB 2.0 Micro-B charger.
    120V AC to 500 kV AC—120V AC-500kV AC detectors sense voltages as low as those in a power socket and as high as those in high-power transmission lines. Since they detect a wide range of voltages, they’re a helpful tool for rescue workers, electricians, and telecom workers. They can also connect to an app to notify emergency response services when there is a fall, injury, or no movement detected. The app is optional, and it requires a paid subscription. This safety feature makes these detectors a great option for those working alone.
    2.4 kV AC to 500 kV AC—2.4kV AC to 500kV AC detectors identify a wide range of voltages found in high-power transmission lines, so they’re often used by linemen. However, they won’t detect the low voltage ranges found in telecom lines or small machinery.
