Is this set safe for live electrical work?

The tools are rated to 1000V and certified to IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Follow your employer's rules and inspect insulation before every use.

What wire sizes does the stripper handle?

It strips 10-18 AWG solid and 12-20 AWG stranded wire, and it also cuts.

Does it come with a bag or pouch?

No. The set is the five tools only: two screwdrivers, lineman's pliers, diagonal cutters and the stripper.

How does it compare with Klein's insulated kits?

Klein offers similar pliers and drivers, often sold separately or in larger kits. This set bundles the core electrical tools with slim-tip drivers in one certified package.

What is the warranty?

Milwaukee backs the set with a limited lifetime warranty.

Are the screwdrivers good for high-torque work?

They are slim-tip drivers built for terminal screws in tight spaces. For heavy torque, use a standard insulated driver with a thicker tip.

About the Milwaukee 48-22-2215 1000V Insulated Hand Tool Set

This 5-piece set of 1000-volt insulated hand tools is made for electrical work. It includes lineman's pliers, diagonal cutting pliers, a wire stripper and cutter, and two slim tip screwdrivers.

The 9-inch lineman's pliers and the 8-inch diagonal cutting pliers are built for maximum leverage and easy cuts. The diagonal cutting pliers have a tapered nose for easier access and flush cuts. The wire stripper removes insulation from 10-18 solid and 12-20 stranded wire.

The slim tip screwdrivers have a flush insulation layer at the tip, which gives easy access into tight spaces. The tools are UL classified and certified to IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505 standards for insulated hand tools. They are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
