FAQs
What does VDE certified mean?
VDE certified means the tools have been tested and certified by the VDE Institute (Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V.) to meet stringent safety standards for electrical work, specifically up to 1000 V AC or 1500 V DC.
Can these screwdrivers be used for general DIY tasks?
Yes, they can be used for general tasks, but they are specifically designed and tested for electrical applications. Using them for heavy-duty non-electrical tasks might shorten their lifespan.
How do I clean the ergonomic handle?
Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
What is the warranty on this set?
The Felo Ergonic VDE screwdriver set comes with a lifetime warranty.
How do I identify the screwdriver type quickly?
Each screwdriver has its blade type and size printed on the top flat of the blade and also on the grip of the handle for fast identification.
Is the mains tester included safe for 110V systems?
The mains testing screwdriver is rated for 220-250 V. While it may indicate voltage on a 110V system, it is optimized and certified for the specified range.
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver tip slips out of the screw head.
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of screwdriver for the screw. Clean the Black Tip and the screw head to remove any debris. Verify the screw head is not stripped.
Reduced torque transfer or discomfort during use.
Ensure the handle is clean and dry. Verify you are gripping the handle correctly to utilize the ergonomic features. The handle is designed to adapt; ensure it is properly seated in your hand.
Mains tester not indicating voltage.
Confirm the circuit is live and within the 220-250V range. Ensure the tester tip is making good contact with the live part and your finger is on the contact point at the end of the handle. Check the tester itself for any visible damage.
Corrosion on the blade.
Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective oil. Store in a dry place.
