[QUOTE="binky, post: 545095, member: 490"] I mostly have vde tools, but there are some items I'm never going to be using on live gear, such as a socket set. My biggest gripe is my MC4 crimp tool for solar work. Occasionally I have had to change an MC4 connector whilst working live. Trouble is the handles are not vde rated, despite being a ruddy expensive tool, so I've bought rubber gloves to use with those. Simple fact is most 'safety officers ' are knobs who don't understand anything much. As long as you are aware of what you are doing, and working in a safe manner, then there's little/no need for vde tools. You could also say they have possibly made the industry more dangerous as it encourages live working. [/QUOTE]
