160 i VDE — insulated screwdriver
The 160 i VDE from WERA is an insulated screwdriver designed for work requiring safe insulation up to 1,000 V. The tool is individually tested at 10,000 V in accordance with IEC 60900, and the product's design focuses on safety and ergonomics through WERA's Kraftform multi-component handle.
Function and construction
The 160 i VDE screwdriver has an insulated blade and a conical blade construction. The handle combines hard zones for rapid hand repositioning and soft zones for efficient torque transfer under higher loads. The tip is laser-roughened (Lasertip) to reduce slippage from the screw head, and the tool features Take it easy colour coding and a hexagonal anti-roll profile that prevents the screwdriver from rolling away from the work area.
Design considerations for use
WERA specifically states that the 160 i VDE is GS-tested for safety, and that the tool has undergone an impact resistance test at −40°C. The combination of Lasertip and the Kraftform handle reduces contact pressure and improves power transfer during screwdriving, contributing to more controlled work during manual screwdriving tasks.
Typical applications
The product is specified for application: Electrical / VDE. Based on the manufacturer's information, the 160 i VDE is used for tasks where insulated hand tools approved for up to 1,000 V are necessary.
