Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these screwdrivers safe for 1,000V live work?

Yes, they are individually tested according to IEC 60900 standards at 10,000 volts to ensure safe operation up to 1,000 volts.

What is the benefit of the Lasertip?

The Lasertip features a laser-etched, micro-roughened surface that grips the screw head, significantly reducing the chance of the screwdriver slipping out (cam-out).

How do I identify the size of the screwdriver?

Each tool features the 'Take it Easy' Tool Finder system, which uses color coding and clear size labels to allow for quick identification.

Can I use these for general construction work?

While durable, these are specialized VDE electrical tools. Using them for heavy-duty prying or general construction may damage the insulation and void safety protections.

Does the set include a storage case?

Yes, the set comes with a convenient storage rack that helps keep the tools organized and easily accessible on your workbench.

What should I do if the insulation gets a scratch?

If the insulation is damaged or scratched to the point where the inner metal core is visible, the tool should be replaced immediately.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver slipping out of the screw head

Ensure you are using the correct size tool. Check that the Lasertip surface is clean, and apply downward pressure while turning to engage the 'biting' action.

Difficulty identifying the correct tool size

Utilize the 'Take it Easy' colour-coded markings on the end of the handles, which correspond to specific screw profiles and dimensions.

Visible wear on the insulated coating

Do not attempt to repair the insulation with tape. For safety reasons, damaged insulated tools must be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Individually tested for 1,000V safety compliance
  • Excellent grip profile reduces hand strain
  • Lasertip design minimizes screw head slippage
  • Highly visible colour-coded identification system
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant black point tips

Cons

  • Insulation layers can be prone to scratching if misused
  • Price point is higher than standard non-VDE sets
  • Not intended for heavy-duty prying or leveraging tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon unboxing, mount the included storage rack on your workbench or wall to ensure your screwdrivers are protected when not in use. To maintain the VDE rating, strictly avoid using these tools for anything other than driving screws; using them as chisels, prying tools, or for aggressive scraping can damage the insulation coating. Before each use, visually inspect the shafts for any cuts, gouges, or degradation of the red and yellow insulation layer. If the insulation is compromised, the tool should be removed from service immediately as its 1,000V protection rating can no longer be guaranteed.
