Insulated screwdriver Wera 162 i PH/S VDE 1×80 mm — Phillips/Slot, 1000 V rated

Insulated screwdriver Wera 162 i PH/S VDE 1×80 mm — Phillips/Slot, 1000 V rated is a hand tool designed for electrical work where safe contact with live parts may occur. It combines a Phillips and slotted tip in one reversible or double-ended design with an 80 mm shaft length, enabling access to recessed and standard fasteners. The VDE-rated insulating coating provides protection for work on installations and equipment energized up to 1000 V AC, meeting requirements for professional electricians and maintenance technicians.

Advantages

The insulated design reduces the risk of electric shock when used correctly on live circuits up to 1000 V and complies with recognized safety standards for VDE insulation. The combined Phillips and slotted tip reduces the need to change tools mid-task, saving time during fastening and repair operations. The 80 mm shaft length offers a balance between reach and control, while the ergonomic handle ensures reliable grip and torque transfer for precise work. Durable materials and manufacturing ensure long service life in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance on live or de-energized circuits
• Fastening and unfastening Phillips and slotted screws in appliances and junction boxes
• Field service, repair work and routine maintenance for electricians and technicians

Key specifications

• Tip type: Phillips and slotted combination
• Shaft length: 80 mm
• Insulation: VDE-rated insulated coating for use up to 1000 V AC
• Handle: ergonomic design for improved grip and torque transfer
• Intended use: manual fastening, assembly and repair in electrical applications

How to use

Select the appropriate tip orientation for the screw head and hold the insulated handle firmly. Apply steady axial pressure and turn with controlled torque to engage or release screws. Ensure the tool’s insulation is intact before use and avoid using on circuits exceeding 1000 V AC. When working near live parts, observe safe working distances and follow applicable electrical safety procedures and local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the insulation for damages before each use; do not use if the coating is cracked, worn or compromised. Use this insulated screwdriver only within its rated voltage limit and keep it clean and dry. Store separately from uninsulated tools to avoid accidental damage to the insulating layer.
