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 provide protection against electrical shock when working with live voltages up to 1000V AC.
Can I use these screwdrivers for general non-electrical tasks?
Yes, you can use them for general tasks, but be mindful that the VDE insulation can be damaged by excessive force or sharp impacts, which could compromise its electrical safety rating.
How often should I inspect the insulation?
It is recommended to visually inspect the VDE insulation before every use, especially if the tool has been used extensively or stored without protection.
What are the specific sizes of the slotted screwdrivers?
The set includes three slotted screwdrivers with dimensions: 1.0*5.5*100MM, 0.8*4*100MM, and 0.5*3*100MM.
What are the specific sizes of the Phillips screwdrivers?
The set includes two Phillips screwdrivers: PH2*100MM and PH1*80MM.
Are the electric box keys interchangeable with standard keys?
The electric box keys are specifically designed for certain types of electrical cabinets and utility boxes. They may not be compatible with all standard locks.
What is the material of the screwdriver blades?
The screwdriver blades are made from CR-V6150 steel for durability and strength.
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver tip feels loose
Inspect the screwdriver head. If the tip is damaged or the connection to the shaft appears compromised, discontinue use. This set is not designed for repair.
Magnetic tip is weak
Ensure the tip is clean and free of debris. Strong magnets can lose some magnetism over time or if exposed to extreme heat. For minor reduction, ensure the screw head is clean and dry before attachment.
Insulation appears damaged (cracked, chipped)
Immediately stop using the screwdriver for any electrical work. Damaged insulation compromises safety. Replace the tool or the set if electrical safety is required.

Care: To maintain the VDE insulation and overall tool integrity:
- Clean Regularly: Wipe the blades and handles with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the insulation.
- Inspect Insulation: Before each use, visually inspect the VDE insulation for any cracks, nicks, or signs of wear. Do not use the tool if the insulation is damaged.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the tools to temperatures significantly outside the normal working range or use them for tasks beyond their intended electrical insulation purpose.
- Storage: Store the set in a dry place, preferably in a tool bag or case, to protect the blades and insulation from damage.
