The Insulated Flat Wrench 18 mm 1000V from NEO tools is an open-end wrench designed for work on live electrical equipment up to 1000 volts. The tool combines a standard 18 mm jaw for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts with insulated handles to reduce the risk of electric shock during maintenance and installation tasks. Its compact, flat profile permits access to confined spaces where bulkier tools cannot reach, maintaining a balance between mechanical strength and electrical safety for professional and semi-professional use.
Advantages
The insulated handles are rated for use on live circuits up to 1000 V and provide a continuous protective cover between the metal working part and the operator's hand. The open-end jaw offers quick engagement with hexagonal fasteners and allows use in tight spaces where turning clearance is limited. Constructed from durable metal with a corrosion-resistant finish, the wrench retains mechanical integrity under regular workshop and field conditions. The flat design reduces tool profile to improve access and visibility when working on panels, junction boxes, and compact assemblies.
Suitable for
- Electrical installation and maintenance on live or de-energized circuits up to 1000 V
- Work on distribution panels, switchgear, junction boxes and terminal blocks
- Routine servicing and repair tasks for electricians and maintenance technicians
- Use in confined spaces where a low-profile open-end wrench is required
Key specifications
- Wrench type: open-end (flat) wrench
- Size: 18 mm jaw width
- Insulation rating: suitable for live work up to 1000 V
- Handle: fully insulated ergonomic handles with continuous coverage to the metal shank
- Material: hardened steel working head with protective finish
- Profile: low-profile/flat design for access in confined areas
How to use
Select the 18 mm insulated flat wrench when the fastener fits the open jaw precisely and the task involves electrical equipment where insulation protection is required. Before use, visually inspect the insulation for cuts, cracks or wear and ensure the tool is clean and dry. Place the open jaw squarely on the nut or bolt, apply steady torque without excessive side loading, and maintain hand positioning on the insulated handle to keep the protective barrier between the metal parts and your hand. After use, store the wrench in a dry, protected place and re-inspect the insulation periodically for damage.
Usage recommendations
Do not use the wrench if the insulation is damaged, contaminated with conductive materials, or wet. Follow relevant safety standards and local regulations when working on live electrical systems; use additional protective equipment and isolation measures as required by the job.
