Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this screwdriver safe for all electrical work?

This screwdriver is VDE/1000V approved, making it safe for live electrical work up to 1000 volts. Always ensure the tool and your personal protective equipment are in good condition.

What does 'VDE approved' mean?

VDE approved signifies that the tool has met stringent European safety standards for electrical insulation and protection, allowing for safe use on live electrical components.

How do I maintain the corrosion resistance of the blade?

The Tri-Coating treatment provides enhanced resistance. Regularly clean the blade and store it in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to highly corrosive substances.

Can I use this screwdriver for Phillips head screws?

No, this is a slotted screwdriver specifically designed for screws with a straight slot. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver for those types of fasteners.

What is the overall length of this screwdriver?

The overall length of the Facom AT8X150VE screwdriver is 275 mm.

How much torque can this screwdriver apply?

The screwdriver is designed with optimized ergonomics to increase torque transfer, allowing for efficient screw driving. Specific torque values are not provided, but it is engineered for professional use.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver slips out of the screw head

Ensure the 8 mm tip size is correct for the screw slot. Clean both the tip and the screw slot to remove any debris. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly into the screw head.

Handle feels uncomfortable or slippery

Ensure your hands and the handle are clean and dry. The soft grip material offers resistance to chemicals, but excessive oils or lubricants can still affect grip.

Blade tip appears worn or damaged

Discontinue use immediately and consider replacement. Continued use with a damaged tip can strip the screw head and compromise safety.

Visible damage to the insulated handle

Cease use immediately. Any damage to the insulation voids the VDE rating and poses a serious electrical hazard. Replace the screwdriver.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • VDE certified for safe electrical work up to 1000V
  • Ergonomic soft-grip handle for comfort and chemical resistance
  • Increased torque transfer for efficient use
  • Durable laser marking on the tip
  • Superior corrosion resistance on the blade

Cons

  • Only suitable for slotted screws
  • Specific blade length (150 mm) may not suit all applications
  • Higher initial cost compared to non-insulated or non-certified screwdrivers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This screwdriver requires no specific setup. It is ready for use immediately upon unboxing.

Compatibility: The AT8X150VE is designed for slotted screws with an 8 mm tip size. Ensure the screw head slot matches the screwdriver tip for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the screw or tool.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the blade and handle with a clean, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning agent. Avoid harsh solvents.
  2. Storage: Store the screwdriver in a dry environment, preferably in a tool bag or organizer, to protect the blade from damage and corrosion.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the insulated handle for any cracks or damage. Check the blade tip for wear or deformation. Do not use if the insulation is compromised or the tip is damaged.
  4. Corrosion Resistance: While the Tri-Coating treatment enhances corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive environments.
