Bernstein tools
Bernstein VDE tools are rated for live working up to 1,000 V AC / 1,500 V DC and comply with DIN EN IEC 60900. The range covers screwdrivers (slotted, cross-head PZ1-PZ3), cable stripping knives with hook blade and gliding foot, pliers (telephone pliers 205 mm, side cutters 195 mm), sockets in various widths (5.0-32.0 mm) and open-end spanners (8.0-17.0 mm, single-sided). NH fuse handle inserts with leather gauntlet (17-521-VDE) are available for switchgear work.
Socket inserts are available in 3/8" and 1/2" drive with sizes from 5.5 mm to 32.0 mm. Screwdriver sets (e.g. 14-650-VDE, 7-piece) and individual tools cover all common requirements in low-voltage installation work.
