Wiha 1/2" Insulated Reversible Ratchet and Accessories , 10 Pieces

The Wiha 1/2" Insulated Reversible Ratchet and Accessories set (10 pieces) is VDE-rated to 1,000 V AC / 1,500 V DC (IEC 60900) for live LV panel work. The 1/2" ratchet handle accepts standard 1/2" drive sockets for bolt and nut driving on panel hardware, switchboard components, and cable glands. Every piece is individually tested to 10,000 V AC.

Where this tool is used

• Electrical installation on live LV systems — IEC 60900 insulated ratchet required for torquing down panel bolts and bus-bar connections when isolation is impractical.
• Switchboard and MCC commissioning — tightening terminal bolts to rated torque in energised enclosures.
• Industrial maintenance — general 1/2" drive work in environments where incidental contact with live conductors is possible.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Confirm your work qualifies for 1,000 V AC rated tools under AS/NZS 4836 before using near live conductors. Always inspect insulation before use. Complement with Wiha VDE-insulated screwdrivers and pliers for a full live-panel kit.
