Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Are these screwdrivers suitable for live electrical work?
Yes, both variants are tested to 10,000V and certified for live work up to 1,000V AC, making them suitable for high-risk electrical tasks.

Q: Whats the advantage of a parallel tip over a standard slotted tip?
Parallel tips have straight, non-tapered edges that ensure a snug fit in terminal screws, reducing cam-out and preventing damage to the screw or insulation.

Q: Can I use these in cold weather conditions?
Absolutely. The polyamide insulation is rated to withstand temperatures as low as -25C without cracking or compromising safety.

Q: Are these screwdrivers magnetized?
No, they are not magnetized by default to prevent interference with sensitive electrical components, but they can be magnetized if needed.

Q: Do these screwdrivers resist wear over time?
Yes, the shot-blasted tips and high-grade materials ensure extended tool life, even under regular, intensive use.
