When You Need 1000V Protection
When you're outfitting for electrical work, you need tools that can handle live circuits. The Milwaukee 48-22-2215 and the 13-Piece Insulated Electrician Screwdriver Set both offer protection, but they solve the tool bag puzzle differently: one is an all-in-one kit, the other specializes in screwdrivers at a lower price.
Quick Verdict
If you want a single insulated kit that does more than drive screws, the Milwaukee set is the better fit. If your main need is screwdriver coverage and a lower price, the 13-piece set wins.

Where each set wins
Milwaukee 48-22-2215 wins for pliers and wire stripping
The 9-inch lineman's pliers, 8-inch diagonal cutters, and 10-20 AWG wire stripper cover the non-screwdriver tasks you'll face on a panel.
13-Piece set wins for screwdriver variety
With three Torx drivers, two Phillips, two Pozidriv, four slotted screwdrivers, plus an electroprobe and a removable handle, you can match a wider range of fasteners.
Product notes
Milwaukee 48-22-2215 5-Piece Insulated Set
The Milwaukee set is built around cutting, stripping, and driving on live equipment. It includes 9-inch lineman's pliers, 8-inch diagonal cutting pliers, a 10-20 AWG wire stripper, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a 1/4-inch cabinet screwdriver. The screwdrivers have strong magnetic tips, and the pliers are forged for strength. The 1000V insulation is certified to IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. The main trade-off is the screwdriver selection-you get only two drivers, so Allen or Torx work will need another set. At $104.97, you're paying for pliers and stripper in one insulated package, which can save you from buying those separately.
13-Piece Insulated Electrician Screwdriver Set
At $36.89, this set focuses on coverage. The 13 pieces include three Torx drivers, two Phillips, two Pozidriv, four slotted screwdrivers, an electroprobe, and a removable handle. The blades are chrome vanadium steel with a magnetizer tip and manganese phosphate finish. The replaceable handle uses a push-switch for quick blade changes, so you can adapt to the fastener without reaching for another tool. Because it's screwdriver-focused, it won't help you cut cable or strip wire-you'll need separate tools for those tasks. For its price, it gives you a wide assortment of insulated tips, but the payload is limited to driving and probing rather than full wire work.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Milwaukee 48-22-2215 if you're building an insulated kit and want the core hand tools included. Choose the 13-piece set if you're filling in a screwdriver assortment and want to keep costs down. If you already own the heavy tools, the 13-piece set covers the driver side well. If you don't, the Milwaukee set gives you a more complete starting point for line work.
