Draper XP1000 1/4" Drive VDE Insulated Ratchet

The Draper XP1000 1/4" Drive VDE Insulated Ratchet is a professionally certified tool designed for safe working on live electrical circuits up to 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC. This Expert-grade ratchet combines precision engineering with essential safety features, making it an indispensable tool for electricians, hybrid and electric vehicle technicians, and other trades regularly working with live circuits. Forged from high-quality carbon steel, this VDE insulated ratchet features a 45-tooth mechanism that enables precise 8° movement between teeth, allowing effective operation in tight spaces where standard ratchets cannot achieve sufficient swing arc. The quick-release mechanism facilitates rapid socket changes, improving efficiency during automotive diagnostics, electrical installations, and maintenance work. Each ratchet is tested to 10,000V to ensure reliable insulation performance and operator safety when working on energised systems. The combination of fine-tooth ratcheting action and VDE certification makes this tool particularly suitable for hybrid and EV servicing, where technicians must work safely around high-voltage battery systems and electrical components. Its 1/4" square drive accepts standard VDE insulated sockets, providing versatility across various applications whilst maintaining compliance with electrical safety requirements.
