FAQs

What does VDE certified mean?

VDE certification indicates that the tool has been tested and meets stringent safety standards for electrical work, specifically up to 1,000 volts in this case, providing protection against electric shock.

What are the included spanner sizes?

The set includes four spanners with sizes: 8 mm, 10 mm, 13 mm, and 17 mm.

Can these spanners be used for general mechanical work?

Yes, they can be used for general mechanical work on nuts and bolts of the appropriate sizes. However, their primary design benefit is electrical insulation for safety.

How should I clean the spanners?

Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the insulation or the steel.

What is the jaw position angle?

The jaw position is set at a 15° angle, which aids in accessing fasteners in confined or narrow spaces.

Does the set come with a case?

Yes, the set includes a practical canvas bag for storage and transport.

How do I find the size of a specific spanner in the set?

Each spanner has a size finder located underneath the tool head, allowing for quick identification.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips during use.

Ensure the correct size spanner is used for the fastener. Check that the soft-grip handle is clean and dry for optimal grip. Verify that the jaw of the spanner is not worn or damaged.

Difficulty reaching a fastener in a tight space.

Utilize the 15° jaw position to gain better access. If the space is extremely restricted, consider if a different type of insulated tool or extension might be necessary for that specific task.

Insulation appears to be damaged.

Immediately stop using the affected spanner. Damaged insulation compromises electrical safety. Replace the spanner to ensure continued protection.

Spanner feels loose on a nut.

Confirm that you are using the correct metric size. Inspect both the nut/bolt head and the spanner jaws for wear or damage. Replace the spanner if the jaws are significantly worn.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of electrical safety due to VDE certification.
  • Durable construction with chrome vanadium steel.
  • Ergonomic handle for comfortable and secure grip.
  • Designed for use in tight spaces.
  • Includes a convenient storage bag.

Cons

  • Set includes only four specific sizes (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 17mm).
  • May not be suitable for heavy-duty, non-electrical applications where extreme torque is needed.
  • Limited range of sizes might require supplementary tools for some tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a hand tool set and requires no setup. The spanners are ready for immediate use upon removal from the packaging.

Compatibility: The Bosch Professional VDE Spanner Set is compatible with standard nuts and bolts of the sizes included: 8 mm, 10 mm, 13 mm, and 17 mm. Ensure the spanner size matches the fastener for optimal performance and to prevent damage.

Care: To maintain the VDE insulation and overall condition of the spanners:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the insulation or steel.
  2. Inspection: Regularly inspect the insulation for any signs of damage, cuts, or wear. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and replace the affected spanner.
  3. Storage: Store the spanners in the provided canvas bag in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and protect the insulation.
