lovely set of tools you have there eckardt :smiley2:

I somehow feel mine do not match up, Aldi and B&Q:angel_smile:


However I am not sure I would have a use for the wide range you have there.
Though I would like a set of insulated long nose pliers where the blades are also insulated.

I've got a pair of knipex all plastic long nose pliers and they are very useful.

My Aldi screwdrivers were doing well until I snapped a flat head - had to repair it though and it's back in the set as a pry bar or chisel! Irazola took its place in the pouch but I still have a soft spot for that original!

Mr Burns, is that a snapped pair of side cutters - is there a story behind that?

I'm curious as to what sector the OP is working in that his company has found it necessary to issue that amount of insulated tools!

Have any of them been used? None of mine look like that!

Just me applying a bit too much overpressure to cut a cable too large for the snips.

. . . and what lesson did we learn? - and it's not borrow someone else's cutters!

He might just be clumsy so his firm are covering all bases

Guessing a cable jointer ? hmm which colour spanner are we using today maybe the orange one.
Nice set of insulated tools never seen a complete or new set like that also guessing a new job?

Yeah that's the kiddies, wonderful for doing such terribly naughty things as disconnecting or connecting a single circuit in a live DB. Also very good for generally manipulating cables in a small enclosure due to them being a little softer in their grip on the insulation.

Presumably they have been used, but if they were not clean and with no visible damage on them then they would not be permitted to be used as the insulation rating could be compromised.
Obviously it is all down to the company's risk assessments and method statements/codes of practice but insulated tools for live working will generally need to be clean and undamaged with regular inspections and testing
