Welcome
Epic Tools Ltd is offering a new
WIHA SlimTorque 5 Piece VDE Torque Screwdriver, Torque Setter, Quick-Release VDE Screwdriver Bit Holder & 2 x Pz/Slot Blades & Storage Tube.
Model: WHA-36078.

Description:

• Following feedback from customers Wiha have identified that what the electrician is requesting is…
• 1: A VDE Torque driver that can offer a range of torque settings that will cover the various manufacturers requirements across all sizes of switchgear. They want to be able to torque between 1.0 and 5.0Nm.
• 2: They want slim blades to allow access to tight areas such as low-lying fastenings and spring elements.
• 3: They mainly require two terminal blades – SL/PZ1 and SL/PZ2
• 4: Finally they wanted a system that would allow them to build the set in future with additional blades and driver options.
• The Result is....
• The 5 Piece set provides all of this and the Wiha VDE Slim Vario range offers many blade and set options to help the professional build their set as they wish.
• 17th Edition Wiring Regulations 134.1.1 states, among other things, that manufacturers instructions must always be followed.
• All switchgear manufacturers have torque settings listed as part of the instructions for their ranges. (Try Google – entering “electrical torque settings” to find online databases of the leading manufacturers).
• Many manufacturers are enquiring about the use of torque drivers when dealing with warranty claims on their goods.
• Warranty claims have been rejected because a torque driver wasn’t used, and so they claim that their instructions were not followed.
• Buying the VDE Torque Set will ensure the electrician complies with 17th Edition regulations and avoids potential problems and costs during warranty claims.
