Maximum safety with minimal format. 17/02/2010

Maximum safety with minimal format.

Schonach – Electricians in particular must face a wide variety of applications with at times highly difficult working conditions. VDE tools used in such environments must not only be rugged and flexible, but must also satisfy the highest demands in terms of quality and safety. A further commonly occurring problem for VDE fastening tools is limited access to low-lying fastening elements and narrow apertures. The VDE safety insulation of screwdrivers often obstructs and prevents optimal access to fastening elements. The normal solution in practice is to compromise on safety, whether this means the use of non-insulated tools or perhaps even a shortening of the blade insulation.  ...lezen>
