Abstract
A screwing tool includes a head, which has a fixed jaw and a movable jaw and which is fastened to a handle so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis against a restoring force from a small distance position of the two jaws into a large distance position of the two jaws. In order to be able to touch live parts by means of a screwing tool of this type, the handle has an insulating casing and an actuating element is provided, which can be displaced relative with respect to the handle and which, during its displacement, displaces the head from the small distance position into the large distance position.
