What's the best insulated screwdriver brand?

[zZZzz]

I haven't had it quite figured out yet. Seems like for many, Klein is the first option but then the support declined over the years because of some changes in manufacturing or something? I've also seen people talk about Craftsman (I know it's good had experience with it but different kinda tools), Milwaukee and Greenlee but these ones I'm not sure honestly how well they do? Like I want to try but dont have the budget to buy all, so I need input from pros here.

klein tools is a popular choice for insulated screwdrivers but some users have noted changes in quality overtime. milwaukee and greenlee are also solid options w/ milwaukee often praised for durability and greenlee for precision. if youre looking for reliability and safety wiha is worth considering as it consistently ranks high among professionals.

Wera for screwdrivers and probably knipex for the rest. They go pretty low when on sale and quality is there and it serves its purpose.

I'd say get the greenlee if it's in your budget if you're after som prograde tool. If not klein or milwakee are great choices

For what is it worth, I still enjoy Kelin tools for general work. Greenlee is another favorite for daily use.

But, the longest lasting tips and most reliable insulation (before failing meg ohm test) is Wiha. Their "SoftFinish" line is very comfortable. They are now available in North America. https://www.wihatools.com/.

When working energized, along with other protective equipment, be sure to test the insulation above the voltage that the tool will encounter.
