Draper Tools launches new insulated VDE socket sets to cater for growing demand

Electric and hybrid vehicles are a growing market – are you prepared?
The VDE sets range from 18 to 24 piece and are manufactured from tough chrome vanadium steel.

Demand for electric vehicles rose by 48 per cent last year and sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles saw a 133 per cent boost, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

Today, there are more than 100,000 plug-in vehicles on the road in the UK, compared with just 3,500 in 2013.

Electric and hybrid vehicles are increasing in popularity, yet Draper Tools say some garages and workshops could be missing out on this growing market, simply by not having the right tools for the job.

Whether it’s regular maintenance or major repairs, it’s important for workshops to have the proper insulated, VDE approved tools to safely carry out work on hybrid or electric vehicles.

To help garages and workshops meet this rising demand, Draper Tools has recently launched a huge range of socketry, including a series of VDE socket sets and individual accessories, designed for use with electric and hybrid vehicles.

Draper Tools VDE socket sets
  • 18-Piece 1/4″ square drive VDE socket set
  • 19-Piece 3/8″ square drive VDE socket set
  • 24-piece 1/2″ square drive VDE socket set

These are all part of the Draper Expert range and are manufactured from tough chrome vanadium steel, correctly hardened and tempered and chrome plated and feature the Draper Hi-Torq® 6 point drive system.

The VDE range is based around three comprehensive VDE socket sets, which all come all come securely packed in a tough blow mould case, for easy storage and portability.
