Use Of Insulated Tools For Cable Installation

When working in the cable installation industry, it is more than important to use the proper equipment so you can work safely without risking your life. That is why people working in that sector will use rubber insulating gloves, insulated tools and properly insulated cable stripping tools alongside with insulated FR clothing to protect them while working.

One good example is the tape measure. You may think that using a normal tape measure would be safe but they contain metal parts. That is the reason why non conductive tape measure have been specially developed to ensure that there is no metal parts in the tool. This kind of tape is constructed in quality reinforced plastic to be able withstand repeated outdoor use. The same principle applies for insulated tools like the insulated rescue hook. This tool is even more important as it is used to withdraw an injured person from a dangerous place. This tool uses fibreglass and no metal to make sure it is perfectly insulated and is safe for the person using it and the person being rescued. A lot of these kind of tools will often be made of plastic of fibreglass to make sure they are non conductive and perfectly safe. Another example of such equipment is the telescopic height measuring pole.
Made from good quality fibreglass, these poles really are perfect for the measurement of conductor heights or any other kind of overhead object. There is an integrated dial that measures the height with accuracy, which makes allowance for the length of the rod. In order to make sure that the pole is dust and water resistant, the base and the top of the tool are sealed with a vey special agent to protect them. The base is also fitted with a rubber boot to enhance the protection. With this useful tool, you can measure things that are between eight and twelve meters high, depending on the version of the product you have.

Using the right cable preparation tools or cable stripping tools is even more important when dealing with cable installation and electric currents. Not being careful and using the wrong tool could simply cost you your life if you are not careful enough.
Insulated tools and clothing are usually tested to their limit to make sure they are safe to use and will protect you and your colleagues to ensure that you can do your job properly with no problem.
