One thing that tradesmen are taught is that you do not depend on the insulation factor of your tool handles to save you from an electrical shock. The fact that tool handles are made of insulating materials is coincidental. The handle material has to be comfortable in the hand, has to be cheap to produce and that it is an insulating material is secondary.All electrical work should be done in the off condition for safety purposes and it does not matter if the handle is an insulating material or not.
