Product Information

Full details

This 2-piece Laser Tools VDE Insulated Screwdriver Set (Part No. 8387) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with electrical systems. Its key benefit is enhanced safety when working near live circuits up to 1000V, thanks to VDE/GS approval. A potential caveat is that this specific set includes only two common sizes, so users may need additional screwdrivers for a wider range of tasks. The set features blades manufactured from durable chrome vanadium steel with insulated handles.

FAQs

What does VDE/GS approval mean?

VDE/GS approval indicates that the tool has been tested and certified by recognized authorities to meet stringent safety standards, particularly for use in electrical environments up to 1000V.

Can these screwdrivers be used for high-torque applications?

While durable, these VDE insulated screwdrivers are primarily designed for electrical safety. For extreme torque requirements, non-insulated, heavy-duty screwdrivers may be more appropriate, always ensuring power is disconnected.

What is the difference between this set (8387) and Part No. 8388?

Set 8387 includes a Phillips Ph0 x 60mm and a Flat 2.5mm x 75mm screwdriver. Set 8388 includes a Pz2 and a Flat 5.5mm screwdriver, offering different common sizes.

How do I maintain the insulation on the handles?

Keep the handles clean and dry. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, solvents, or sharp objects that could puncture or degrade the insulating material. Regularly inspect for damage.

Are these screwdrivers suitable for working on mains voltage (240V)?

Yes, the VDE/GS approval means they are safe for working on circuits rated up to 1000V, which includes standard mains voltage.

What material are the blades made from?

The blades are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver slips on screw head

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver size and type for the screw. Check that the screw head is clean and undamaged. Make sure the screwdriver tip is properly seated in the screw recess.

Handle feels loose

This set is designed with permanently attached insulated handles. If a handle feels significantly loose, it may indicate damage. Inspect carefully for cracks or separation. Do not use if compromised.

Blade shows signs of wear or damage

For minor wear, continue use with caution. If the blade is significantly bent, chipped, or stripped, it is recommended to replace the screwdriver to ensure safety and performance.
