Laser strengthens EV lineup with Insulated Trim & Cable Clip Lever

As numbers of battery electric and hybrid vehicles surge on UK roads, independent garages are eager to offer full EV servicing but need the right high‑voltage tools and expertise. For years, Laser Tools has worked alongside OEMs and importers to equip main‑dealer workshops—and now independent workshops—with the specialist insulated tools, advice, and packages required for safe, professional EV maintenance. EV and hybrid battery systems typically operate between 300 V DC and 800 V DC, well above the 60 V threshold that marks “high‑risk” voltages. To protect technicians from serious injury, hand tools must meet IEC 60900:2018 insulation standards and be rated to CAT III 600 V or CAT IV 1000 V. Laser Tools’ deep involvement in EV workshop requirements has made it the trusted supplier of choice for truly safe, compliant EV tooling.

Meet the new Insulated Trim & Cable Clip Lever

Designed for BEV and hybrid vehicles, this 270 mm plated‑steel lever (part number 9145), features a forked, insulated foot for lifting cable ties, cooling‑pipe clips, and trim fasteners—without compromising high‑voltage safety.

Remember, technicians must always wear full PPE when working on or near live high‑voltage systems. With the 9145 Lever, they can safely and efficiently remove pipe clips, trim clips and cable ties on electric and hybrid vehicles—demonstrating once again why Laser Tools leads the UK in EV‑safe workshop tools and equipment.
