Can I use these tools for non-electrical work?
Yes, but it is recommended to keep them dedicated to electrical tasks to preserve the integrity of the insulation.
Are the tools marked with their voltage rating?
Yes, all VDE tools in this set are clearly marked with the 1000V symbol.
What is included in the socket range?
The set includes a curated selection of both metric and imperial sockets to cover common electrical panel and equipment fasteners.
How often should I test the insulation?
You should perform a visual inspection before every use. Periodic professional testing may be required depending on your specific company safety policies.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears damaged or cracked
Immediately stop using the tool for live electrical work and replace it to ensure safety.
Ratchet mechanism feels gritty or stiff
Clean the ratchet head with a dry cloth and apply a very light coating of machine oil, ensuring none gets on the insulated handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and safety of your Mehr VDE tools, always conduct a visual inspection before each use. Check the insulation for any cracks, slices, or discoloration that could compromise the 1000V rating.
- Cleaning: Wipe down tools with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the insulating material.
- Storage: Store the tools in the provided heavy-duty case in a cool, dry environment. Do not leave the tools exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat for extended periods.
- Inspection: If an insulated handle is deeply scratched or shows exposed metal, the tool must be immediately retired from live-work use to prevent electrical shock.
