FAQs
What types of screwdrivers are included?
The set includes Phillips head screwdrivers (PH1 in two different lengths) and Flathead screwdrivers in three different sizes (2.5mm, 4mm, and 5.5mm).
What is the purpose of the electrical tester?
The electrical tester is used to safely check for the presence of voltage in a circuit. It features a built-in bulb that illuminates when voltage is detected.
Are the tools insulated for working with live circuits?
The product description does not specify insulated handles for the screwdrivers or pliers, which are typically required for working on live electrical circuits. Always verify the insulated rating of tools before working on live wires and exercise extreme caution.
What are the dimensions of the insulation tape?
The set includes two rolls of insulation tape, each measuring 15mm wide by 100 meters long.
How much does the set weigh?
The entire set, including the case, weighs approximately 3.4392112872 pounds.
Can I use these tools for general household repairs?
Yes, while designed for electricians, the set's screwdrivers, pliers, and wire stripper are also useful for various general household repairs that involve screws and wires.
What are the lengths of the pliers included?
The set includes diagonal side cutting pliers (150mm total length) and long nose pliers (150mm total length).
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver tip is damaged or worn
While the tools are durable, heavy use can wear down tips. For minor wear, careful reshaping might be possible. For significant damage, consider replacing the specific screwdriver.
Pliers are stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the pivot point with a soft brush and apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or machine oil). Work the pliers back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Electrical tester is not indicating voltage
Ensure the tester is making proper contact with a live component and a grounded surface. Check if the bulb needs replacement (if applicable) or if the tester itself is damaged. Verify the circuit is actually live using another method if possible.
Insulation tape losing its stickiness
This can happen due to age or improper storage. Ensure the tape is stored in a cool, dry environment. If adhesion is poor, replace the tape.
