King Dick VDE 5.5mm x 125mm Electrical Slotted Screwdriver – Key FAQs

• Is this screwdriver suitable for live electrical work?
  Yes, it is VDE tested to 10,000V and rated for live line working up to 1000V, provided the insulation is intact and it is used according to electrical safety guidelines.

• What does “parallel slotted” mean?
  The blade sides are parallel (not tapered), giving better contact in the screw head, reducing cam-out and minimising damage to terminals and fixings.

• What standards does this driver meet?
  It is manufactured and tested to DIN EN 60900, the standard for insulated tools used on live electrical equipment.

• Is the handle comfortable for prolonged use?
  The ergonomic soft grip handle is designed to provide good torque transfer and reduce hand fatigue during regular professional use.

• Can I use it for general non-electrical work?
  Yes, it can be used anywhere a 5.5mm slotted screwdriver is needed, but its main advantage is the VDE insulation for safe work on electrical systems.
