Socket wrench set Bosch VDE 1000V 6 pcs — insulated sockets for electrical work

Bosch VDE 1000V 6-piece socket wrench set is designed for safe operation on live electrical installations up to 1000 V. The set contains insulated sockets manufactured to VDE safety requirements and intended for use by electricians, service technicians and installers who need compact, durable tools that reduce the risk of electric shock during tightening and loosening of fasteners. The sockets combine electrical insulation with a conventional socket design to fit standard ratchets and extensions.

Advantages

The insulated sockets provide certified protection for working on live circuits up to 1000 V, while maintaining mechanical strength and wear resistance for frequent professional use. The compact six-piece range covers common fastener sizes used in electrical and industrial installations, reducing the need to switch between multiple tools. High-quality insulation and precision-machined drive interfaces ensure reliable torque transfer and a secure fit on fasteners, which supports accurate work and reduces rounding. The set is lightweight and easy to carry in a service pouch or toolbox.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance on live or de-energised circuits
• Industrial equipment servicing and control cabinet assembly
• HVAC, lighting and switchgear installation
• Field service, utility and maintenance work

Key specifications

• Insulation rated for safe use up to 1000 V (VDE-tested)
• Set size: 6 insulated sockets covering commonly used fastener sizes
• Drive interface compatible with standard ratchets and extensions
• Material: hardened and corrosion-resistant steel core with insulated outer layer
• Compact design for access in confined spaces

How to use

Select the correctly sized insulated socket for the fastener and attach it securely to a compatible ratchet or extension. Before starting work, verify that the insulation is intact and free of cracks or damage. When working on live installations, follow local safety procedures: use appropriate personal protective equipment, maintain proper grounding and isolation where required, and ensure the working environment is dry and safe. Apply torque evenly and avoid excessive force beyond the tool’s mechanical limits to prevent damage to the fastener or socket.

Usage recommendations

Inspect insulation visually before each use and replace any socket that shows wear, cuts, or cracks. Store the set in a clean, dry place and avoid exposing the insulated surfaces to oils, solvents or extreme temperatures that could degrade the insulating material. Use the set only for mechanical fastening tasks and not as a substitute for insulated pliers or other live-line tools specified for direct contact with conductors.
