Bosch Professional VDE Screwdriver SL 6.5 x 125mm 1000V Insulated

Bosch Professional VDE Screwdriver 6.5mm

The Bosch VDE Screwdriver SL 6.5 x 125mm serves as a primary hand tool for electricians working on energized equipment or near live circuits. This insulated driver withstands up to 1000V AC, providing a critical safety barrier during terminal tightening and component installation. Its 6.5mm slotted tip matches larger electrical fasteners found in industrial switchgear and distribution boards.

Built for the Job

This hand tool addresses the specific needs of commercial and industrial electrical contractors. Unlike standard screwdrivers, the insulation is injection-molded directly onto the blade, ensuring no gaps exist where current could arc. The 6.5mm tip width is specifically sized for medium-to-large terminal blocks, grounding bars, and contactor lugs where high torque is necessary to secure heavy-gauge conductors. The 125mm blade length allows the user to reach recessed terminals within deep enclosures while maintaining a safe distance from other live components.

• Installation of main breakers and distribution board components.

• Securing heavy-duty electrical connections in industrial panels.

• General maintenance tasks in high-voltage environments.
