Phew!!Dykes=sidecutter
I always wanted to do that but not the reality dykes that are usually fat and/or horrendously ugly. The pretty slim ones that you see in some short filmsAlways like to read that they carry a good pair of dykes around with them at all times!!!!

I once did a job in a house that was owned by 2 old dears that were a couple. I had to go into a bedroom to pull on a cable and there they were having an almost naked cuddle on the bed.You want to see the pair on the other side of my street, but, maybe not!
When i entered the industry the only electricians that were issued ALL insulated screwdrivers (and other hand tools) were those working for the old electricity boards!! The insulation on the screw drivers (especially the terminal screwdrivers) was so thick the electricians stripped the insulation off the ends, lol!!! Our company had a full live working tool kit made up of several sets covering screwdrivers, pliers, spanners sets, socket sets, etc etc, that were held in the stores, they weren't VDE (that classification didn't exist as they are known today) they were made in the States
The company tool kit i was issued, contained standard screwdrivers that some of us insulated with either tape or the early heat shrink tubing, when and if we could get hold of it!!
I have to admit my srewlux is not vde, but sure when are you ever going to need an insulated one
Do they even make a VDE Scrulox screwdriver? Mine is the red-handled one like nearly everyone has.
Hi all,
Just wanted to see people's thoughts on this.
Had an "experienced" Electrician start at my place of work on agency (mainly electrical maintenance)
He claims that he has worked all over the country and done so much.
However, he doesn't use insulated screwdrivers and his argument is that no
one should be working live so they are not needed. He is adamant that he won't use them.
Well, there are some circumstances where you have no choice but to work on a live board (obviously taking the correct precautions). Also he would not be complying with GS38. I have never known another sparky not to use insulated tools.
Any thoughts?
All you need to insulate your tools .... hurry - buy it now!!
