Product Information

Full details

The Laser Tools 8689 is designed for professionals working near live electrical circuits, offering a safe way to retrieve small metal parts. Its key benefit is enhanced operator safety up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC, preventing accidental contact with hazardous voltages. A key caveat is that while the tool insulates the user, the retrieved metal object can still create a short circuit if it bridges two live points.

FAQs

What is the maximum voltage this tool can safely be used around?

The tool is manufactured to IEC60900:2018 standards and is safe for operator use on live voltages up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC.

Can this tool pick up non-magnetic parts like aluminum or brass?

No, the magnetic head is designed to attract ferrous metals only. It will not pick up non-magnetic materials like aluminum, brass, or plastic.

How should I clean the pick-up tool?

Clean the magnetic head and shroud with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the insulation.

What should I do if the tool is damaged?

If you notice any cuts, cracks, or damage to the rubber moulding or shaft, discontinue use immediately as the insulation may be compromised.

What is the length of the flexible shaft?

The flexible shaft is 400mm long.

What is the overall length of the tool?

The total length of the tool is 560mm.

Can I use this tool to short a circuit?

While the tool insulates the operator, the metal object being picked up can still short across live circuits if it bridges two conductive points. Always exercise extreme caution.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic head does not pick up parts

Ensure the part is made of a ferrous metal. Clean the magnetic head of any debris. Check for any visible damage to the magnetic assembly.

Tool feels loose or damaged

Immediately discontinue use and inspect the rubber casing, shaft, and head for any signs of wear, cuts, or separation. Contact the manufacturer or supplier if damaged.

Reduced insulation integrity suspected

Cease using the tool on live circuits. Visually inspect the entire insulated portion for cracks, punctures, or abrasions. Professional testing of insulation may be required if damage is suspected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety when working with live electrical components.
  • Long reach and flexibility for difficult access points.
  • Secure grip and retrieval of small metal parts.
  • Durable construction meeting international safety standards.
  • Reduces the risk of accidental shorts caused by dropped tools.

Cons

  • Requires careful use to avoid shorting circuits with the retrieved object.
  • Magnetic head is only effective for ferrous metal parts.
  • Not designed for non-conductive or non-ferrous materials.
  • The flexible shaft may have limitations in very tight or complex routing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tool requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility: Compatible with ferrous metal objects (iron, steel, nickel, cobalt) that can be attracted by a magnet. Safe for use on electrical circuits rated up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC.

Care:

  1. After each use, clean the magnetic head and shroud with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove debris.
  2. Inspect the rubber casing and shaft for any signs of damage, cuts, or wear before each use. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.
  3. Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  4. Avoid exposing the tool to harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the insulation.
