Tips

Always verify that the blade is fully seated and locked into the handle before use. Inspect the insulation for damage before each use; do not use if the protective coating is compromised. Pair with a torque handle to achieve precise tightening and avoid over-torquing fasteners on sensitive electrical connections.
