What are some good multi-tools that are insulated? For working around electricity.

I thought there was a couple by Gerber.

The ground breaker and the cable dawg. I think the cable dog is pricey and disco'd (but awesome).

Chako has a review up of the Ground Breaker somewhere.

The Ground Breaker states that it isn't an insulated tool right on the handles.

So far as I am aware, no multitools are classed as insulating, so for live working or where there is a risk of live, it's back to the dedicated tools
