The handles of the tools like screwdrivers and pliers used by electricians for repair work usually have plastics or rubber covers on them. Give reason.

Electrician's screwdrivers usually have plastic handles—because plastic insulates the user's hands from the risk of electric shock—as well as plastic tubing that runs much of the length of the shaft.
