Cementex expands insulated fastening lineup

Cementex has introduced new square drive ratchet T-handle wrenches and highlighted its Screwdriver DriveHandle, expanding the company’s lineup of double-insulated fastening tools designed for technicians working around energized electrical systems.

The square drive ratchet T-handle wrenches are designed to integrate with standard socket sets, allowing technicians to connect extension bars, sockets, bit sockets, and DriveHandle nut drivers to build the configuration needed for a task. Available in 1/4" square drive and 3/8" X-Drive versions, the tools feature an ergonomic T-handle that improves grip and torque control while helping reduce hand strain during extended service work. A precision ratcheting mechanism allows quick direction changes to speed fastening and removal tasks.

Cementex also highlighted its Screwdriver DriveHandle, a driver-style insulated tool that functions like a screwdriver for socket applications. The tool features a 1/4" square drive head, 6" insulated steel shaft, and cushion-grip handle designed for controlled fastening in tight spaces. The DriveHandle also includes a 1/4" isolated drive interface, allowing it to be used with a ratchet or torque wrench when additional leverage or torque control is needed. The tool has a maximum torque rating of 10 ft.-lb.

Both products feature Cementex’s double-insulated construction, tested to 10,000 VAC and rated for 1,000 VAC / 1,500 VDC for work on or near live circuits. The tools comply with IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505 standards and support compliance with OSHA safety-related work practices, NFPA 70E, and CSA-Z462 requirements.

Cementex manufactures its insulated hand tools in the United States using domestic and global materials and marks each product with the international 1000V safety symbol.
