Handles of screw driwers are made up of plastic because plastic is very bad conductor of heat and electricity. Hope it helps you.

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.

Plastic or rubber is an insulator which does not allow electric current to pass through it. The handles of the tools like screwdrivers and pliers used by electricians for repair have covering of plastic or rubber so that electric current may not pass through these tools to the body of the electrician to harm him.
