- Wiha Twinpack slimFix VDE Screwdrivers
This slimFix twinset comprises a 3.5mm sloted and a 2Pz screwdriver. Produced to give better access to recessed screws, particularly in terminal blocks when a thick insulation jacket often prevents the tip from reaching the screw head. Wiha slimFix technology ensures these screwdrivers fully conform to the very strict DIN standards and European and International IEC and VDE standards for use on all types of common electrical work. Fully tested up to 10,000 Volts DC and guaranteed to 1,000 Volts AC. These are industrial/professional tools.
VDE is a standard to ensure screwdrivers and other hand tools are safe to use when working with electricity. VDE takes its acronym from the German company Verband der Elektrotechnik, who are responsible for testing and certifying tools and appliances.
VDE has become the recognised standard within the building trade throughout Europe. Seeing the VDE trademark on a pair of pliers or a screwdriver gives the user the assurance that it’s safe to use with electricity. Wherever you see the VDE mark you will often find a voltage limit, this indicates what voltage levels the tool is safe to work with.
Not just any tool can bear the VDE certification mark. All VDE rated tools are put through very rigorous testing to ensure the quality, construction, safety and even the ergonomics meet with the protective requirements of the applicable EC Directive.
