Electric Car and Insulated Tools

Using insulated tools is essential if you’re working with electricity. Standard tools won’t offer you the protection required should you come into contact with a live circuit – that’s why it’s vital to choose insulated hand tools when working on electric vehicles.

Almost any traditional tool can be insulated and, if you’re in any doubt, look to see if it has VDE certification. Also, all insulated tools must display the year they were insulated, as well as a 1,000V rating symbol.

If you’re carrying out any work on an electric vehicle, make sure you’ve got insulated versions of all the hand tools you require. Whether you’re using a complete insulated screwdriver set or you just need to grab one of your VDE tools for a quick job, they’ll have red handles so you can easily identify your insulated tools from your standard ones.

Electric Car Chargers

Why not install an EV charger point for your electric vehicle? Having your own station, complete with EV charging cable, is the most convenient way to ensure your battery remains fully charged between runs.
