Wiha Electric tools - TEC
Wiha Instruments
Wiha Electro tools are engineered to VDE standards (IEC 60900), providing 1,000 V AC / 1,500 V DC insulation protection on every blade, handle, and shaft - verified individually before leaving the factory. The insulating multi-component handles are manufactured to a minimum wall thickness of 1.0 mm and withstand a 10,000 V dielectric test, giving electricians and service technicians a measurable safety margin beyond the nominal working voltage.
As an authorised distributor for Wiha within the professional tools segment, esd.equipment stocks the Wiha Electro range with same-day dispatch availability. Every tool in this series carries the recognised VDE/GS mark and is fully compliant with IEC 60900 and DIN EN 60900, making the range suitable for live-line work in industrial maintenance, panel building, and electrical installation environments.
