FAQs

What does VDE insulated mean?

VDE insulated means the tool has been tested and certified by VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V.) to meet safety standards for working on live electrical circuits up to 1000V AC. It provides protection against electric shock.

What is the difference between Phillips and PoziDriv screws?

Phillips (PH) screws have a cross shape with rounded corners, while PoziDriv (PZ) screws have a similar cross shape but with four additional smaller slots between the main cross slots. Using the wrong type of screwdriver can damage the screw head and the tool.

Can I use this screwdriver for non-electrical tasks?

Yes, you can use it for general screw driving tasks. However, its primary benefit is its VDE insulation for electrical safety. For heavy-duty non-electrical tasks, a non-insulated screwdriver might be more appropriate.

How long is the shaft of this screwdriver?

The shaft length is 100mm, with a total overall length of 205mm.

How should I clean the screwdriver?

Wipe the screwdriver with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the insulated handle or the steel blade.

What is the warranty on this product?

Please refer to the retailer or AB Tools for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

Is the magnetic tip strong?

The magnetic tip is designed to hold common screws securely in place during use, especially in awkward positions. Its strength is suitable for typical electrical installation tasks.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip does not fit the screw head

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver tip size and type. This screwdriver is specifically a PZ2 (PoziDriv size 2).

Reduced grip or slipping during use

Ensure the soft grip handle is clean and dry. If the grip material appears worn, consider replacing the screwdriver.

Magnetic tip loses its magnetism

The magnetism on screwdriver tips can weaken over time. While this specific screwdriver may not be designed for re-magnetization, ensure the tip is clean and free from metallic debris. For persistent issues, a new screwdriver may be required.

Damage to insulation

If the VDE insulation shows any signs of cracking, peeling, or damage, discontinue use immediately and replace the screwdriver to maintain safety standards.
