TORRANCE, CA, OCTOBER 25, 2017 — A new tool from Nonconductive Tool Company is leading to safer, faster and more productive work methods for Do-It-Yourselfers. The Voltclaw-12 is a simple-to-use, low-cost tool that is nonconductive to allow for safer management of 12-14 gauge electrical wiring within junction boxes, switch boxes, outlets, panels or anywhere electrical wires are installed. Ideal for DIY’s, homeowners and handy people, the Voltclaw-12 is immediately available for only $14.97 (USD) at several online retailers and electrical distribution. Until Voltclaw-12, electrical wires were typically manipulated by hand or with tools designed for other purposes, such as a screwdriver or wire stripper. These methods put the homeowner in serious danger of shock, especially when metal tools are used to move wires. Metal tools can also damage the insulation that protects the copper wire. Exposed bare copper wire greatly increases the chances of electrical malfunction or serious injury. To solve this potentially life-threatening problem, Voltclaw-12 is molded from rugged, impact-resistant nylon. It has no metal parts and is nonconductive up to 1000V. Smooth edges allow an electrician to safely bend and move wires without damaging insulation, unlike with standard metal tools that can nick and break insulation. Although Voltclaw-12 weighs just a few ounces and measures less than 9 inches it is an extremely rugged and versatile tool. It is equipped with six unique functions that greatly contribute to its value. Using the Voltclaw, the DIY can: Reach inside crowded junction boxes, service panels and other applications to tightly grab wires with either one of the tool’s two Pull Hooks Push, pull or bend wires with the T-Groove by sliding the wire into the groove and twisting the tool Push wires back into outlets, switch boxes, GFCIs or other tight spaces with the tool’s V-groove. Push in ground wires first, white wires second and hot wires last Create a J-shaped loop on the end of a pre-stripped wire with the Loop Bender. A J-shaped loop is needed to attach wires securely to the screws on the side of a receptacle or a switch Remove or tighten twist-on wire connectors with the built-in wrench. Simply slide the wire connector into the wrench and turn counterclockwise for loosening or clockwise for tightening. For complete information, visit www.voltclaw.com.

TORRANCE, CA, SEPTEMBER 29, 2017 — Electricians are regularly called in to straighten out the mistakes of well-meaning but clueless amateurs who don’t know the difference between an electrical code and a dress code. Now, Nonconductive Tool Company, the maker of Voltclaw® tools, is sponsoring the new “What Were They Thinking?” photo contest that pokes fun at amateurs who took a shortcut or two to create breathtakingly bad electrical installments. Electricians are challenged to send a photo of the worst they’ve seen. One lucky electrician will be awarded a free website, set up exclusively by ElectricitySites.com, a new service offering custom-designed, SEO-optimized and mobile-ready websites for electricians. “Ask any electrician and they’ll tell you about the most shocking work they’ve ever had to rewire, re-install or completely redo from scratch,” said Warren Tarbell, CEO of Nonconductive Tool Company. “Today we are challenging electricians who think they’ve faced down the baddest of the bad and lived to tell the tale to enter to win a great new website for free.” Because words can’t do justice to truly bad electrical work, either email a photo to info@voltclaw.com or upload to www.facebook.com/voltclaw. FREE WEBSITE Electricians often think of their websites as an online business card requiring little more than a name and phone number. In reality, when properly designed, an electrician’s website serves as a virtual sales representative that generates leads and helps in closing sales, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising. ElectricitySites.com creates stunning websites that develop an online brand identity that reflects an electrician’s professionalism, one that will be hard at work for them 24/7/365 to attract new business leads while they’re focused on their craft.” About Nonconductive Tool Company, LLC Headquartered in Torrance, California, the Nonconductive Tool Company, LLC is committed to creating and manufacturing tools that help keep electricians safe and able to perform their functions to the highest level of their abilities.

TORRANCE, CA, SEPTEMBER 18, 2017 — Hurricanes Irma and Harvey have left trails of devastation throughout Texas, Florida and many Southeastern states, bringing heavy rains, storm surges and flash flooding. Now, as evacuated residents are beginning to return to their houses, repairing and restoring electrical systems is paramount to getting their lives back to normal. “If a house has flooded, an electrical system should be thoroughly checked and repaired by a professional electrician,” says Warren Tarbell, president of the Nonconductive Tool Company, the maker of Voltclaw™ nonconductive pliers. “However, homeowners with a background in electrical work can perform minor repairs if they follow important safety steps.” Disconnect the main electrical breaker. If the main switch is located in the basement, be sure all flood water has been pumped out before working on the electrical system. Water conducts electricity and live power lines can be deadly, especially if they are submerged or not easily visible. Remove covers from switches, outlets and other electrical connections. Double check with voltmeter or non-contact voltage detector to make sure the electricity is turned off. Next, pull receptacles, switches and wires about 2 inches out from their boxes without disconnecting the wires. Clean out mud and dirt with clean water and allow wires and connections to dry. Check the system for electrical shorts. Close the main switch and look for sparks or smoking wires which indicate shorted switch connections. If you see evidence of such shorts, you need a new switch. For 24-48 hours be careful when using receptacles and switches. There may be residual moisture which could cause shocks. If some of the circuits are faulty, use only the undamaged circuits. However, do not overload undamaged circuits with too many lights or appliances until normal capacity is restored. Newer homes have ground fault circuit interruptions with their circuit breaker. GFCIs will need to be replaced. Call a professional electrician if you need assistance on how to complete these electrical tasks. The Importance of Insulation Wear rubber gloves and rubber-soled boots for all work with electrical circuits in a wet environment. Rubber is an insulator and will help protect from electrocution. Standing on a dry wooden board is also good practice. Insulated, non-conductive tools are the safest choice. For example, Voltclaw pliers are non-conductive to 1000V making the tools a far safer alternative to metal screwdrivers or wire strippers when grabbing, pulling, pushing and bending of electrical wires. With no metal parts, the tool will also not cut or scrap the insulation off of wires which can create a potential electrocution or fire hazard. For more information, visit www.voltclaw.com.

TORRANCE, CA, JUNE 8, 2017 — Home wiring is not a job that should be undertaken by a novice. Getting shocked is more than unpleasant – it can cause serious injuries and even be lethal. As little as 14 milliamps, about that of a plug-in nightlight, is enough to kill a person. “No matter how often you may have carried out home wiring jobs, never be tempted to skip basic precautions or use the wrong tools or protection,” explained Warren Tarbell, President of Nonconductive Tool Company and a licensed electrician. “Preparation is the key to electrical safety.” Tarbell offers these safety tips to guide the DIY’r through a home wiring project. Before doing any electrical work, shut the power off at the breaker. Use a voltage tester to check that wires or electrical connections are dead before working with them. However, work as though the electricity was on, avoiding physical contact with exposed wiring. Dress for distress: Wear solid shoes or boots that have nice thick insulated soles and avoid standing on wet ground. Use insulated tools – they may cost more but they can save your life. Also safety glasses are a must. Don’t put your pedals on the metal. Some jobs will require a ladder. Make sure sit is made of fiberglass or another non-conductive material. Professional electricians will sometimes put one hand in their pocket if they are working on something hot or potentially hot. You should too. That way if you get shocked it won’t be as severe.And never touch a ground, such as plumbing or a gas pipe, while you work with the other hand. Always work to a plan so that you know exactly where the outlets, switches, and fixtures are going to be placed before you begin. This allows you to check that you’ve got the appropriate amount of materials. Use the tools of the trade. At the very least, your toolbar should include : long-nose pliers, wire cutter and strippers, an electric drill, fish tape, cable stripper, colored tape, voltage tester and continuity tester. The Voltclaw nonconductive wire management tool from Nonconductive Tool Company is another safety tool for the DIY. Designed to work with 12 to 14 gauge wires, it prevents contact with wires, allowing the user to pull wires from junction boxes, push wires back into junction boxes, and move and bend wires. It even has a twist-on wire connector wrench and a wire loop bender to make the job faster. Never splice wires together and conceal them within a wall. An accessible junction box should always be used to join wires, and is normally required by code. Finally, if the conductor covering a wire looks frayed or is showing signs of deterioration, replace it. An exposed conductor, however small, can lead to a major house fire. When in doubt, call a licensed electrician to do the work. An electrician is well schooled in residential wiring and likely will be able to complete the job in less time than it
