What is the purpose of using special tool holders for live line tools?

The use of special tool holders for live line tools is primarily intended to prevent these tools from being laid on the ground. This is crucial for maintaining safety and ensuring the tools remain in a ready-to-use condition. When live line tools are placed on the ground, they can become contaminated with dirt or moisture, which could compromise their effectiveness or safety during electrical work. Additionally, placing tools on the ground could risk accidental contact with live electrical components, posing severe safety hazards for workers.

While enhancing grip, preventing moisture damage, and facilitating transport are important considerations for tool management, they do not directly address the primary purpose of specialized holders in maintaining the integrity and safety of live line tools in the field. By using holders designed for these tools, workers can ensure that they are secure, accessible, and protected from potential hazards associated with improper handling or storage.
