Electrical-Electronic Tools and Specialist VDE products
VDE-approved tools are designed specifically to reduce the risk of injury to those working with electricity. The VDE Testing and Certification Institute conduct rigorous testing to all items including being specifically tested to 10,000V of electricity. Tools may be labeled insulated, but to be confident of safety both to the user and to reduce the risk of damage to electrical circuitry, electricians should only choose those marked ‘VDE’. More than 200,000 types of products worldwide carry VDE Certification Marks issued by the institution.
All VDE tools carry the VDE Certification Mark, recognised all over the world. The Marks are registered and protected in more than 30 countries and manufacturers in more than 50 countries affix the VDE Mark to their products. Having chosen VDE approved tools for working with electricity, it is also important to examine these on a regular basis as damage to insulation can increase the risk of injury.

ITL – A New Focus Insulated Tools LLC have long been synonymous with high quality live wire protection tools and their philosophy for manufacturing quality is set to continue since their acquisition by ITL Holdings Ltd, a company owned by Mark Wardle and Allan Challinor, in November 2010. Traditionally ITL have sold directly to the utilities market, being specified for a number of major projects for their undefeatable protection during live wire working. The new owners plan to continue this whilst also venturing to sell the tools as stock items. Mark Wardle said: “We are keen to put across the message to wholesalers and merchants that Insulated Tools aren’t just great for the utilities market, but they can and should be sold to everyone; every electrician needs them in their tool box.”
All of the insulated tools offered by ITL are manufactured using a unique method of injection moulding with Nylon 11 to create the ultimate in live wire protection. Far superior to the dipped PVC tools, injection moulding at high temperatures fuses the tools and insulation together to give an unbreakable bond, making the combined tools safe and long-lasting; tough enough to survive even the most extreme usage requirements. The products are also flame retardant, and designed for use even in extreme temperatures (-40°F to +158°F), plus the individual tools are 100% batch tested (10,000V for 3minutes), giving the user 100% assured safety.
