Are these tools electrically insulated? I can't tell if the grips will shield your hands.

Yes, the grips are long enough and have small stops on the ends to minimize contact. But I don't know what voltage they are rated for if that is your question.

I would find it hard to believe that Irwin would manufacture a tool set that contains "linesman pliers" and a 6" cutter...essentially an electricians tool and not provide for suitable insulation to prevent an electrical hazard. From the looks of the set, all of the instruments appear to be coated with the same insulatoer, sao i believe it is safwe to assume that the tools are "insulated"

The grip does shield your hands. Is this tool set meant for electrical work, most likely not. However, they are well insulated. The grip also does not wiggle, it is on really firm. I have used this set on basic electrical work, changing light switches, etc.

No they are not electrically insulated. If they were it would be stated they meet the required code. The handles MAY provide some insulation but are not rated for it. It is NEVER safe to assume something is electrically insulated.

I'm not totally sure on that one. I have used them on live wires without any incidents.

No mention is made of the tools being certified as electically insulated. I wouldn't chance it.

Absolutely not. But get a different brand. Wood or plastic grip. The metal and sandpaper grip kill your hands. Cold and uncomfortable.

NO .... and they have never gotten hot .. or too hot too handle at all! I can only think if this item had been left on over an extended period of time.

I don't think so. The back of the gloves are not waterproof. They are a stretchy material. And I don't think the rubberized side is tough enough to deflect needles, broken glass, or other things you might encounter in a trash pick up. These are great gardening gloves, but I think you need something more industrial.

I don't find them uncomfortable to hold. Some of the handle edges may rub you roughly if you rub your hand or fingers at precisely the right angle. It is extremely difficult to do unless you are actively trying to hurt yourself.

Yes. They are concealed. There are no exposed screws. I have upgraded to these handles in two different houses now and I love them!

I'm not what type of heat you have in mind but I've been using them for landscaping purposes in 100 degree weather & they hold up great but like said I don't know about other fields where high heat is involved such as wielding (seeing as how I only use them for landscape & gardening purposes) I'm not a welding expert but I don't these gloves would be well serving in an environment like that I think these are more build for construction. I hope that answers your question

Just checked my garden tool bag and the handles are indeed hot dipped in plastic. I have used these for many hours straight and they don't make my hands ache as much as the Fiskar brand. Hope this helps.

Yeah, they have enough resistance to prevent the tools from getting in your way when being used. Very handy tool, highly recommend too.

Not at all. If you think you need these to keep your fingers safe, these will do the job no matter which table saw.

Yes, for me in about 35+ degrees their breathable, but not well insulated so the hands get pretty cold still.

Yes, the gloves are designed to protect your hands from cuts. They work well for my husband.

In my experience, they keep your hands dry, but are not insulated from the cold. Also, they are a bit bulky for opening small containers. But for the price, they may be worth a shot.

You can still feel through the gloves, but I don't think he could bite through them. I am an electrician and use them on cold mornings or when I am working with live electrical panels. You may consider a pair of leather cuffs for your wrists?

They are not like cleaning gloves. These are lined and protect your hands from the heat of the food you are handling. We use them to take meat from our smoker. Cleaning gloves wouldn't protect your hands.

I wouldn't think so as they seem to be some type of plastic/rubber material covering the metal handles. Unfortunately, this item shipped with no pamphlet from the manufacturer which would give specs on this. Disappointing.
