Frequently Asked Questions

Are Bosch Professional VDE pliers suitable for working on live 240V circuits?

Yes, all Bosch Professional VDE pliers are individually tested and certified to EN 60900 standards, providing safe insulation protection up to 1,000V AC (including UK 240V mains installations) and 1,500V DC. However, always follow proper isolation procedures and risk assessments before working on live electrical systems.

How do I know my Bosch Professional VDE pliers are genuine?

Genuine Bosch Professional VDE pliers feature the distinctive GS mark, EN 60900 certification marking, and individual testing documentation. Each tool displays clear voltage ratings on the insulated handles and comes with Bosch Professional's manufacturer warranty when purchased from authorised retailers like MyToolShed.co.uk.

What maintenance do VDE pliers require?

Regularly inspect insulation for cuts, cracks, or damage before each use. Clean handles with a damp cloth only—never use solvents that could degrade the insulation. Store in a dry environment and replace immediately if any insulation damage is detected to maintain electrical safety protection.
