Laser Tools expands EV range with new insulated trim and cable clip lever

New tool enhances high-voltage safety for technicians working on battery electric and hybrid vehicles in UK independent garages

Laser Tools expands EV range with new insulated trim and cable clip lever

Laser Tools continues to expand its specialised equipment for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles with the introduction of its Insulated Trim & Cable Clip Lever (part number 9145). As the number of these vehicles on UK roads increases, independent garages require specific high-voltage tools and expertise for safe servicing.

EV and hybrid battery systems operate at voltages between 300 V DC and 800 V DC, which is well above the 60 V threshold considered “high-risk.” To ensure technician safety, hand tools must comply with IEC 60900:2018 insulation standards and be rated to CAT III 600 V or CAT IV 1000 V. Laser Tools has a history of supplying main dealer workshops with these specialist insulated tools and is now extending this offering to independent garages.

The new 270 mm plated-steel lever (9145) is specifically designed for use on BEVs and hybrid vehicles. It features a forked, insulated foot, allowing technicians to safely lift cable ties, cooling-pipe clips, and trim fasteners without compromising high-voltage safety.

Technicians are reminded to always wear full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when working on or near live high-voltage systems. This new lever enables the safe and efficient removal of various clips and ties, reinforcing Laser Tools’ position as a supplier of EV-safe workshop equipment in the UK.

The Insulated Trim & Cable Clip Lever is now available from Laser Tools stockists and online retailers.
