This Bosch Professional VDE mixed hand tools set is designed for electricians and tradespeople working near live electrical components. Its key benefit is providing safe, reliable, and comfortable tool usage up to 1,000 volts. A potential caveat is that it is a compact set, focusing on essential electrical tasks rather than general-purpose use. The set includes a 160 mm diagonal side cutter, a 200 mm long nose pliers, and three screwdrivers (SL 3.5, SL 6.5, and PH 2), all VDE-tested for enhanced safety and durability.

VDE certification (DIN EN/IEC 60900) indicates that the tools have been tested to withstand up to 10,000 volts and are safe for working on electrical installations up to 1,000 volts AC or 1,500 volts DC. This provides crucial protection against electric shock.
The tools are constructed from durable chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and resistance to wear, ensuring a long service life for professional use.
The diagonal side cutters in this set feature a high-leverage design and sharpened cutting edges, requiring up to 30% less effort to cut compared to standard pliers.
The set includes three screwdrivers: one slotted (SL) 3.5 mm, one slotted (SL) 6.5 mm, and one Phillips (PH) size 2.
While durable, this set is specifically curated for electrical work. For general-purpose tasks, a broader range of tools might be more suitable. The VDE rating is primarily for electrical safety.
The set comes with a 1/2 L-BOXX inlay, which is ideal for storage and transport within the Bosch Mobility System. Keeping them clean and dry in this inlay will help maintain their condition.
No, these tools are certified for use up to 1,000 volts. They are not designed or certified for applications involving voltages higher than this limit.
Immediately discontinue use of the affected tool. Do not use any VDE-rated tool if the insulation is compromised, as this significantly increases the risk of electric shock.
Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver size and type (SL or PH) for the screw. Verify the screw head is not stripped or damaged. The slim shafts are designed for precision; ensure no debris is obstructing the fit.
Ensure the cutting area is clean and free of debris. These pliers are optimized for electrical wiring; avoid cutting hard materials like thick cables or metal wire, which can damage the cutting edges.
Utilize the anti-roll feature on the handles. Ensure the surface is relatively flat; the anti-roll design helps prevent movement but is most effective on stable surfaces.
Setup: This tool set requires no assembly. The tools are ready for immediate use upon unboxing.
Compatibility: The set is designed for electrical work. It is compatible with Bosch Professional's L-BOXX inlay system, allowing for seamless integration into their professional tool storage solutions.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and safety:
