Fluke Insulated Heavy Duty High Leverage Diagonal Cutter, 1000V, 5067244 Review

These 1000V tools from Fluke are top quality. I have purchased a few from other manufacturer’s in the past and not always liked the ergonomics and feel of them. I do appreciate the opportunity to test these from Fluke because I have found them to be great to work with.Most high voltage insulated handles have the large guards at the transition end to prevent accidental metal contact.

My son, the electrician, swears by Fluke and doesn't like to use anything else. Of course, when these showed up, they found their way into his tool bag.

Love everything. Only this I dislike is the molded material on the handles, the shinier of the two, scuffs and scratches very quick. If it was more of a matte consistency my belief it would look less beat up after time. Non the less, the product is top knotch!
