FAQs
Are these tools safe to use on live circuits?

Can I fit other tools in the case?
Yes, the honeycomb foam insert is designed to be flexible; you can rearrange or add tools that fit within the physical dimensions of the case.
How should I clean the insulated handles?
Wipe the handles with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the insulation material.
What is the primary material of the case?
The case is made from high-quality, shock-resistant plastic designed for professional-grade durability in tough environments.
Is the insulation stripper adjustable for different wire gauges?
The insulation stripper is designed for standard electrical wiring; check the tool specifications to ensure compatibility with specific gauges.
Troubleshooting
Pliers become stiff over time
Apply a small amount of non-conductive machine oil to the hinge joint and work the handles several times to redistribute the lubricant.
Foam insert items shifting during transport
Ensure that the tools are pressed firmly into the honeycomb structure. You can remove individual foam sections to create a tighter custom mold for each tool.
Minor debris in hinge
Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust or wire fragments from the hinge area to ensure smooth cutting action.

Maintenance Tips:
