Fluke Hand Tools
Fluke designs hand tools for the demanding professionals in precision electrical and industrial work. For exceptional engineering and rugged construction, they are world-class. You can count on them to perform well in field maintenance, control panel wiring, and equipment testing. The names of the tool series speak for themselves: Insulated Pliers, Insulated Screwdrivers, Insulated Wire Cutters, etc. If they weren't insulated and safe for use in the proximity of energized circuits, they would not be Fluke tools.
Fluke provides handy starter kits packed with indispensable, insulated tools that all professionals should have on hand. The round-up pouches are a smart way to stay organized, either on a job site or in a workshop. Packed inside is a variety of hand tools that are good companions to the digital multimeters, clamp meters, and other electrical test equipment that Fluke is known for. Indeed, the hand tools are an extension of the high-performance energy testing and diagnostics brand that Fluke has been since its inception.
