Insulated Flared Pliers STANLEY FATMAX 155 mm — 155 mm length, insulated flared tip

Developed and manufactured at the STANLEY® facility in Arbois, France, the STANLEY® FATMAX® Insulated Parallel 2.5mm x 50mm Screwdriver is a VDE-certified electrician’s tool designed for safe service work near live circuits. The tool features full-length heavy-duty insulation, a hardened and precision-machined tip with black phosphate coating, and a robust carbon silicon steel bar to provide strength, accurate fastener fit and extended tip life. The screwdriver is approved by the VDE Institute for use up to 1,000 V and is intended for professional electrical applications.

Advantages

The screwdriver delivers a precision-machined tip for improved head-to-fastener fit and reduced cam out, with sand-blasted and black phosphate-treated finish for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance. The full-length polyamide insulation sleeve and heavy-duty plastic sheath protect users from live current and are tested to industrial standards. The handle is moulded directly to the bar for a virtually unbreakable bond and includes a large-diameter tri-material profile for high torque and a soft-grip coating to improve comfort and control. The tool is individually tested and meets EN IEC 60900:2018 insulation requirements for live working up to 1,000 V.

Suitable for

• Professional electricians performing maintenance and repair on live or high-voltage installations

How to use

Select the STANLEY® FATMAX® Insulated Parallel 2.5mm x 50mm Screwdriver for tasks requiring an insulated flat-tip tool. Verify the tool’s insulation integrity before use and ensure the red insulated handle and full-length sleeve are undamaged. Use the precision-machined 2.5 mm tip to engage flat-head fasteners, applying torque through the large-diameter handle while maintaining correct alignment to reduce cam out. After use, store the screwdriver in a clean, dry place and inspect the tip and insulation for wear or damage before further use.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the insulated screwdriver if the handle, insulation sleeve or tip is cracked, cut or visibly degraded. Use only for specified voltage-rated live work up to 1,000 V a.c., and follow local safety procedures and personal protective equipment requirements when working on live circuits.
