anyone have a source for insulated tools yet? i found this site some time about but it seems extremely expensive compared to others

OEL Double Insulated Socket Sets - ISHBS, Socket 3, Socket 3D, Socket 2, Socket 2D

OEL Double Insulated Socket Sets are rated for exposure up to 1000VAC and dielectrically tested at 10,000VAC. These tools meet or exceed ASTM F1505-01 and IEC 900 Standards for Insulated Hand Tools. These tools are necessary for compliance with OSHA 1910.333 (c)(2), and NFPA 70E

depending on what sizes of nuts i end up using for the batteries and contactors, i may invest in two or three insulated ratcheting box end wrenches, so i can access stuff slam up against things
