The invention discloses a multi-functional insulation operating rod which belongs to the electric tool field and solves the problems of a current operating rod that its service life is short, its flexibility is poor and it is prone to be moistened. The operating rod of the invention comprises a Y type work head and an insulation rod. The insulation rod is articulated by a rotary insulation rod and a fixed insulation rod through a pin shaft. The fixed insulation rod is provided with an anti-sliding concave groove and a hand operated device; the inner wall of the fixed insulation rod is provided with a round plate; when the hand operated device is rocked, the round plate could be driven to move; the inner part of the insulation rod is provided with a linkage device. The linkage device comprises a linkage rod A, a linkage rod B and a linkage rod C. One end of the linkage C is fixed on the round plate through a bolt A while the other end is connected with the linkage rod B through a connection piece 2; one end of the linkage rod A is fixed on the rotary insulation rod through a bolt B; the linkage rod A and the linkage rod B are connected through the connection piece 1. The operating rod of the invention can be used as a live tool for live work, live repair and live maintenance.
