Flat-head screwdriver Proxxon PR22308 VDE 6.5 x 1.2 mm, insulated

Proxxon PR22308 VDE 6.5 x 1.2 mm is a flat-head (slotted) screwdriver designed for electrical work. It features a 6.5 mm wide, 1.2 mm thick blade and VDE-rated insulation covering the tip and shaft, providing protection during work on live circuits and electrical installations. The tool is intended for electricians and maintenance professionals who require a precise slotted tip combined with electrical insulation for enhanced safety.

Advantages

The VDE-rated insulation on the Proxxon PR22308 reduces the risk of accidental contact with live parts and is tested to meet safety standards for working on electrical systems. The slender 6.5 x 1.2 mm blade offers accurate engagement with slotted fasteners, limiting cam-out and damage to screw heads. The insulated handle and shaft construction provide consistent dielectric protection along the working length while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled torque application.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance work on household and light commercial systems
• Servicing electrical panels, switches and sockets
• Precision tasks where a slotted tip of 6.5 x 1.2 mm is required
• Field service and repair work where insulated tools are mandatory

How to use

Select the Proxxon PR22308 for slotted screws that match the 6.5 x 1.2 mm tip size to ensure proper fit. Before use, visually inspect the insulation for damage; do not use if the insulation is cracked or compromised. Apply the screwdriver tip fully into the screw slot and turn with steady, controlled force to avoid slipping. When working on electrical circuits, observe safe work practices: de-energize circuits when possible, use appropriate personal protective equipment, and follow applicable regulations and procedures for live-work if de-energizing is not feasible.

Usage recommendations

The tool is suitable for live and de-energized electrical work only when its insulation is intact and within its rated specifications; do not exceed the intended mechanical loads or use the screwdriver as a pry bar. Store in a dry place and inspect insulation regularly to maintain dielectric protection.
