Product Information

Full details

The Knipex 98 25 01 SL is a premium-grade VDE insulated screwdriver designed specifically for electricians and technicians who require precision when working with recessed electrical components. Its standout benefit is the extra slim shaft, which allows easy access to deep-set screws where standard screwdrivers often struggle; however, users should note that the specialized tip profile is intended strictly for Pozi-drive screws, not Phillips, to prevent cam-out and damage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on Phillips head screws?

No, this is a Pozidriv (PZ1) specific tool. Using it on Phillips screws will cause cam-out and ruin both the tool tip and the screw.

Is this tool safe for live electrical work?

Yes, it is VDE tested and rated for protection up to 1000 volts.

What is the length of the blade?

The blade length is 80mm.

Does the insulation cover the entire shaft?

It covers the majority of the shaft, with the extreme tip area designed as a slim profile to allow access into tight spaces.

How do I identify if it is a Pozidriv tip?

Pozidriv tips have additional small ribs between the four main wings. You will also see 'PZ' stamped on the handle.

Troubleshooting

Tool tip is slipping in the screw head

Ensure you are using the correct PZ1 Pozi-drive screw; the tool is not compatible with Phillips or Slotted fasteners.

Handle feels loose or rotates

The handle is permanently bonded. If the grip shifts, the tool has likely suffered heavy mechanical stress or heat exposure; it should be replaced for safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior access to deep-set terminal screws
  • Certified safety for high-voltage electrical work
  • Highly durable construction typical of Knipex standards
  • Excellent grip profile reduces hand strain

Cons

  • Specific to PZ1 Pozidriv screws only
  • Higher price point compared to generic insulated tools
  • Slim shaft may be more prone to bending if used with extreme force

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Knipex screwdriver, always inspect the insulation sheath for nicks or cracks before each use. If the insulation is compromised, the tool should be retired to maintain your safety. Clean the blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to prevent corrosion. For storage, use a tool roll or tray that keeps the insulated blade protected from sharp metal edges that could scratch the safety coating. This tool is exclusively compatible with PZ1 Pozidriv screws; attempting to use it on Phillips screws will damage the tip and the fastener head.
