How to Use

• Select the correct tool: Match the screwdriver tip to the fastener type (slotted, Phillips, Pozidriv, or Torx) and choose the appropriate size for the job.

• Inspect before use: Check the insulation on each tool for cracks or damage before working near live circuits. Do not use a damaged tool.

• Test for live voltage: Insert the tester tip into the socket or contact point and observe the indicator to confirm whether a circuit is live before proceeding.

• Drive the fastener: Apply firm, even pressure to the tip and rotate to tighten or loosen the fastener. Keep the tip seated fully to avoid slipping.

• Use the quick-change handle: Fit the appropriate screwdriver into the interchangeable handle when extra reach or torque is required.

• Store safely: After use, inspect each tool for signs of wear or insulation damage and store in a dry location away from objects that could cut or scratch the insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What voltage are these screwdrivers rated for?
  Each screwdriver in this set is rated for live working up to 1000V AC, in line with EN60900 standards and confirmed by VDE/GS approval.

• What does VDE certification mean on insulated screwdrivers?
  VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik) certification means each individual tool has been tested by an independent body to EN60900. It confirms the insulation protects the user against electric shock when working on live circuits up to 1000V AC.

• Which drive types are included in this set?
  The set includes slotted, Phillips, Pozidriv, and Torx screwdrivers - four sizes covering the most common fastener heads in electrical work - plus a voltage tester and an interchangeable handle.

• Can these screwdrivers be used safely on live electrical circuits?
  Yes, provided the user is a qualified person, and the insulation is undamaged. VDE/GS approval and EN60900 testing confirm protection against live circuits up to 1000V AC.

• What is the difference between VDE-certified and standard insulated screwdrivers?
  Standard insulated screwdrivers may have insulated handles for grip comfort, but they are not independently tested or certified for live working. VDE-certified tools are individually tested to EN60900 by an approved body, confirming the insulation meets the 1000V AC protection requirement. Only VDE-certified tools should be used on live circuits.
