Get a Grip on Your Wires with The Volt Claw

Home Fixated: We periodically receive tools from different brands and not all of them make it to the front of the line for a potential review on HomeFixated. A couple years back, The Nonconductive Tool Company (NTC LLC) sent us a couple of their products to check out. For a while, these sat on the back-burner. I simply didn’t see the use for them. “I have fingers, so if I need to bend or push wires, I’ll use those” was my mindset.

I personally haven't worked on any electrical projects. I want to learn about that kind of thing so reading about different tools and options out there is neat. "ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER" was a great note that they pulled up multiple times. I don't know if a tool like this would be a necessity but I can see how it could come in handy. I would love to learn more about electrical work in theater, in homes and building in general. In the video and in the article, they really stressed the importance of the ergonomic shape of the tools which I found funny. I mean I have used pillars and it can make your hand cramp after some time to the shape of the tool may be a great advantage for someone working on these projects. I don’t know if I will be purchasing a tool like this soon but I’m sure I will find out if bending wires and sticking my wires into tight places is better performed with a tool like this
