Electrical Work Safety

Working with power lines and electronic circuits can be dangerous. Coming in contact with charged wires may cause serious injuries and even death. As such, it’s important to keep a close eye on the power systems, and use safety measures while on the job.

Protective gear is a must when carrying out electrical work. Testing equipment and detectors may also help in protecting the worker. In addition to them, TASCO, Inc., provides the HotRod Safety Screwdriver, especially made for this purpose.

HotRod Safety Screwdriver

The company offers the battery-operated tool, which helps users determine contact with a live signal during electrical work. Once the blade touches a 50 or 60 Hz live signal, the LEDs in its handle light up. The end of the tool is useful for detecting voltage without contact.

The HotRod Safety Screwdriver has the following specifications:
• Operating Temperature: 0-50 degrees Celsius
• Voltage: 50-600 VAC
• Size: 10.5”x1.25”
• Blade Size: 6”x 0.25” slotted

The tool is powered by a standard “AA” Alkaline battery, which comes with the purchase. Battery life lasts for up to 2-3 years, and the screwdriver has a 5-year limited guarantee. Insulated, voltage protected and water resistant, the HotRod is a tool that’s safe to use under any weather condition. With it, workers can undertake electrical jobs easily without the danger.
