VDE Screwdriver

What is VDE screwdriver?

In electrical works, sometimes we have to do the work in the live circuit.So to ensure we are safe from electrical shock, equipment used must be appropriate to work in a live circuit.

I`m using a VDE SoftFinish®electric Screwdriver From WIHA.This is my favorite tool because it the high quality blade insulation is molded directly onto the blade and therefore guarantees safety when working on live equipment up to 1500 V DC or 1000 V AC.

To maintain this safety, each screwdriver of the SoftFinish®electric series is individually tested in a water bath at 10,000 Volts according to IEC 60900:2004.

The roll-off protection and the special handle geometry offer optimum handling and electrical safety, even in critical applications. Furthermore, the exclusive SoftFinish® handle shape allows maximum user comfort.
