FAQs

What does VDE Certified mean?

VDE Certified means the screwdriver has been tested and meets strict safety standards for use on electrical installations up to 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC.

What kind of screws does this screwdriver work with?

This screwdriver has a PlusMinus profile tip, designed to drive both Phillips (PH/S1) and Pozidriv (PZ) screws. It is particularly effective with electronics installation components like automatic circuit breakers.

How do I clean the screwdriver?

After use, wipe the blade and handle with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or residue. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the insulation.

Is the blade insulated?

Yes, the multi-component handle is insulating and VDE tested for protection up to 1000V.

What is the blade length?

The blade length is 80mm.

What is the overall length of the screwdriver?

The overall length of the screwdriver is 187mm.

Can I use this for general home repairs?

While it can be used for general repairs if the screw type matches, it is specifically optimized for electronics installations due to its slim blade and PlusMinus tip.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver slips on the screw head.

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver tip size (PH/S1) and that the screw head is clean and free of debris. Verify the screw is a compatible PlusMinus profile.

Handle feels slippery.

Wipe the handle with a dry cloth. The 2-component grip is designed for tactile feedback; ensure hands are also clean and dry.

Difficulty reaching a screw.

The slim blade is designed for recessed areas, but if the screw is exceptionally deep, a longer screwdriver may be required. Ensure correct angle of approach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required. The Knipex 98 24 01 SLS is ready for use out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This screwdriver is designed for PlusMinus profile screws (PH/S1). It is ideal for electronics installation components like automatic circuit breakers. It may not be compatible with standard Phillips or Pozidriv screws if the PlusMinus profile is not present.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the blade and handle with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove debris.
