Insulated Ratcheting Box Wrenches
Insulated Box Wrench BugWrench™
Description
BugWrench Setting Lineworker Tools Standards
Insulated box wrench combinations provide unique lineworker wrenches that allow line workers to carry one tool that will install hundreds of different connectors.
The very popular 3/4″ and 9/16″ insulated box wrench combinations as in BW-223, and the Heavy-Duty, Forged model BW-223HD, are just right when installing or performing maintenance on overhead transformers.
NOTE:
- Other insulated box wrench models are available with other different size combinations. Please go to Cat No. / Specs tab for details.
- Refer to Download Documents tab for a complete listing of the entire BugWrench family of the lineworker tools in a PDF file format.
Insulated Box Wrench Performance & Features:
- The insulated box wrench handle is formulated of a high strength and high dielectric polymer.
- A see-through port in the center of the handle to confirm that the two ends are not electrically connected.
- The unique design of the handle provides twice the Metal-to-Metal Electrical Isolation compared to other brands (*based on tests on model BW-223).
- The handle comes in a High-Visibility yellow color.

The insulating BugWrench handle is formulated of a high strength and high dielectric polymer.
The handle is designed with a visual and physical indicator permanently molded (in a shape of a rib) in 2 positions on the handle. This rib provides an indication of the “Isolated Area” of the handle. Holding the wrench behind the appropriate rib, in the “Isolated Area” provides a 1,000 Volt Rating between the metal working end and the operator’s hand. Independent electrical tests were performed on a BW-223 wrench verifying that the electrical performance of the BugWrench handle far exceeds the standard published “Leakage Current” (at various voltages) and “Dielectric Strength” requirements.
A see-through port in the center of the handle to confirm that the two ends are not electrically connected.
Yet with the patented handle design and the metal-to-metal separation, the wrench has a Pull-Apart Strength of 3-5 times greater than other brands.
The models BW-223HD and BW-203HD have heavy-duty forged heads. To reverse the ratchet action just flip the the tool.
Forged head models have 12 point sockets for a precise & smaller travel for ease of movement in tight spaces. They also incorporate a higher resolution ratchet for smoother operation.
