• Tasks requiring VDE-certified insulated tools

This blade is not suitable for use with non-VDE handles, as it requires a specific locking mechanism to ensure safety and stability. It is also not intended for heavy-duty prying or chiseling tasks, as the insulated shaft is designed specifically for screw-driving applications and may be damaged by excessive lateral force.
