The Wiha SoftFinish electric VDE slotted screwdriver 00828 is a professional insulated tool designed for safe work on live parts up to 1,000 V AC. With a blade width of 6 mm and a blade length of 150 mm, it is optimized for precise slotted screw connections in electrical installations, switchgear, control cabinets and maintenance work. The slim, hardened blade offers excellent dimensional accuracy in the screw head, which helps prevent cam-out and reduces damage to screws and components.
Technically, this screwdriver features a VDE-tested and individually piece-tested insulation according to international standards (e.g. EN/IEC 60900) for working on live parts. The 150 mm blade length provides easy access to deeper or recessed screw positions, while the 6 mm tip is suitable for common slotted screws in terminals, clamps and devices. The continuous blade is made of high-quality tool steel, designed for durability, torsion resistance and consistent performance in professional use. The insulated shaft is designed to cover the metal and reduce the risk of accidental contact with live parts.
The SoftFinish electric handle combines ergonomics and safety. Its multi-component design with a soft zone ensures a secure, non-slip grip and reduces hand fatigue, especially in repetitive tasks or prolonged use. The handle shape supports high torque transfer with good control, important for tightening and loosening screws in sensitive electrical components. The clearly visible marking on the handle makes it easy to identify the tool in the toolbox, saving time in daily work.
Typical applications include installation and maintenance of electrical systems, wiring of distribution boards, connection of terminals in switch cabinets, mounting of sockets and switches, as well as service work on devices where secure insulation and precise slotted screwdriving are required. The tool is particularly suitable for electricians, maintenance technicians, installers and technically skilled users who value both safety and precision.
Key benefits for the user are increased electrical safety through VDE-insulated design, ergonomic working thanks to the SoftFinish handle, and durable product quality, which reduces replacement frequency and downtime. The precise 6 mm tip and 150 mm blade length help work efficiently, even in hard-to-reach or narrow installation environments.
