by Rebecca Walker — September 24, 2008 The OEL Sales Company has produced an Insulated Tool series that works in both Metric and Standard applications, the company announced.
OEL is a leading manufacturer of double insulated tools that are tested to10,000VAC and rated for 1000VAC maximum exposure, allowing maximum safety when working around electricity.
The OEL Combination Tool wall drive profile was designed to provide a greater area of force application, compared with that applied by conventional tools. The tool, in distributing the torque load to the fastener through the flats, not only achieves a greater force, but also lowers the possibility of distortion to the nut or bolt head, the company says. Having a thin wall is an advantage in every socket because with spanners and sockets the force is absorbed where the wall has its greatest strength.
