"No insulation " on screwdrivers and wrenches

That would be great as far as I can tell, but I almost don't want to use them. Back then, the blade went through the handle like that. Well, that might be fine if you're building or working with something, but not for "electrical" work, no. I'm almost afraid to take it to work, I'm an HVAC mechanic and work with electric motors all the time, and the blade that goes into the handle is just not, no, not a good thing, of course I can't use it as anyways downright dangerous for electrical jobs which might be live and of course i know we shouldn't be working live but some jobs require it you just can't turn everything off. I'm afraid to forget that these "not insulated" and fry. Just to be sure, I took my "meter" and set it to continuity, held one of my probes on the tip of a screwdriver and the other probe on a metal handle, and of course the beeper sounded, damn it, proving that they are not isolated. Such a shame. On the other hand maybe for auto work or construction work maybe they would be ok but certainly not for electrical work damn it and the price was so good pity pity.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • No power
