BATTERY & ELECTRICAL SERVICE TOOLS
I
f you're familiar with the brutality
of winter, then you know the
importance of having battery and
electrical service tools on hand. From
jump starters and battery testers to
battery chargers/maintainers and
relay testers, it's that time of year
to keep them within arm's reach.
With EVs on the rise, it wouldn't be
a bad idea to consider stocking your
toolbox with insulated tooling as well.
Here are some battery and electrical
service tools that have recently
crossed our desks.
RATED TO 1,000V AC
The Wiha Tools 26-pc Insulated EV
Essential Tool Kit includes individually
tested, 1,000V AC rated, insulated VDE
screwdrivers, sockets, ratchets, extension
bars, wrenches, pliers, cutters, a cable
stripping knife, and tweezers. The tools
feature a SoftFinish cushion grip handle
with a slip guard design, exact fit precision
machined tips for reduced cam-out, and
induction hardened cutting edges and jaws

for maximum strength. The tools come in
a sturdy plastic shell case with dedicated
