The Kraftform Kompakt VDE 17 Extra Slim 2 is Wera's insulated tool kit for electrical work, built around an 837 i RA ratcheting bit-holding screwdriver and an 817 VDE blade holder that take interchangeable 157 mm insulated blades. Every VDE part is individually tested to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V for use up to 1,000 V AC. The extra-slim insulated blades reach recessed screws in terminals and switch boxes where standard insulated drivers won't fit. It suits electricians and installers who want one compact pouch instead of a drawer of separate insulated drivers; the included Knipex needle-nose pliers and the ratchet put it ahead of basic insulated screwdriver sets, though it is a screwdriver-and-pliers kit rather than a full electrician's tool set.
