        Major Tech | Insulated Hex Key 4mm 1000V AC/1500V DC | Chrome Vanadium Steel

        The Major Tech VB04 is a 4mm insulated hex key rated for live electrical work up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC. The VB04 is individually tested to 10,000V and conforms to EN 60900, the safety standard for insulated hand tools. Made from chrome vanadium steel with a 90-degree head and 140mm length, it drives 4mm hex fasteners on energised equipment.

        Adjusting grub screws and hex fasteners inside a live switchboard leaves little room for a bare tool near exposed busbars and terminals. A standard hex key offers no protection if it slips against an energised part. The Major Tech VB04 carries a 1000V AC and 1500V DC rating and a fully insulated shaft, so it can be used on live conductors without isolating the circuit. Its 10,000V test voltage gives a wide safety margin over the working rating.

        Licensed electricians choose insulated hex keys that meet a recognised standard so their live-work procedures hold up to audit. The VB04 is individually tested to 10,000V and marked to EN 60900, which supports safe-work method statements for energised tasks. The chrome vanadium steel shaft holds its shape under torque, and the bevelled tip seats cleanly in the fastener for control on fine adjustments. The VB04 drives the 4mm hex fasteners common on terminal grub screws and equipment fixings during energised work.

        Features

        • 4mm hex tip — the VB04 fits 4mm hexagon socket screws, grub screws, and set screws found on terminals and fittings.
        • 1000V AC / 1500V DC rated — insulated for direct use on live conductors within these voltage limits during energised work.
        • Tested to 10,000V — every VB04 is individually tested to 10,000V, giving a large margin over its 1000V working rating.
        • EN 60900 compliant — conforms to EN 60900, the standard for hand tools insulated for live working up to 1000V AC.
        • Chrome vanadium steel — the shaft resists wear and holds torque, keeping the hex faces sharp through repeated use.
        • 140mm length — the mid-length shaft reaches recessed fasteners while staying manageable inside crowded switchboards and enclosures.
        • 90-degree head — the right-angle bend lets you turn fasteners in tight spaces where a straight driver will not fit.
        • Bevelled tip — the chamfered end guides into the fastener socket, reducing fumbling on fine adjustments.
        • Full-length insulation — the coloured insulating layer covers the shaft, protecting against accidental contact with adjacent live parts.
        • Voltage limits — rated to 1000V AC and 1500V DC only; do not use the VB04 above these voltages or on damaged insulation.
        • Single 4mm size — the VB04 is supplied as one 4mm key, not a set, so match the size to the fastener before use.
        • Light and portable — at roughly 50 grams the VB04 adds negligible weight to an insulated tool roll or pouch.

        Where to use

        • Live switchboard work — tightening and loosening 4mm hex fixings on distribution boards while the board remains energised.
        • Terminal grub screws — the VB04 drives the small hex set screws that clamp conductors into lugs, links, and terminal blocks.
        • Solar and DC systems — the 1500V DC rating suits hex fasteners on PV array wiring, isolators, and combiner boxes.
        • Industrial control panels — adjusting hex-headed components inside panels where nearby terminals stay live during the task.
        • Isolators and switchgear — the VB04 fits 4mm hex fixings on isolating switches and enclosure-mounted gear.
        • Maintenance and fault-finding — quick 4mm adjustments during testing where isolating the whole circuit is not practical.
        • Field service kits — a compact insulated key for technicians servicing energised equipment away from the workshop.

        The Major Tech VB04 is not rated above 1000V AC or 1500V DC and must not be used on circuits beyond these limits. Do not use the key if the insulation is cut, cracked, or worn, as damaged insulation removes its live-work protection. The VB04 is a 4mm size only and will not fit larger or smaller hex fasteners.

        (VB04)

        The VB04 is insulated for use on live conductors up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC. It conforms to EN 60900, the standard for insulated hand tools, and every key is individually tested to 10,000V before dispatch.

        A standard hex key has bare metal and offers no protection near live parts. The VB04 has a full insulating layer over the shaft and a chrome vanadium core, rated to 1000V AC and 1500V DC. This lets a licensed electrician work on energised equipment without isolating the circuit.

        The Major Tech VB04 has a 4mm hexagon tip and drives 4mm hex socket screws, grub screws, and set screws. It suits the small hex fixings found on terminals, links, isolators, and equipment fittings. Match the key size to the fastener, as a 4mm key will not fit other sizes.

        Insulated tools like the VB04 are intended for licensed electricians trained in live-work procedures. The tool provides insulation to 1000V AC and 1500V DC, but safe use depends on correct method and undamaged insulation. Anyone unsure how to work safely on energised equipment should not attempt it.

        The insulated hex key is made from chrome vanadium steel, a hard alloy that holds torque and resists wear on the hex faces. The steel core is covered by an insulating layer that carries the 1000V AC and 1500V DC rating. Chrome vanadium keeps the tip accurate through repeated use.

        The insulated hex key carries a 2-year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. Warranty claims are handled by return to Sparky Direct. The warranty covers manufacturing defects, not wear from misuse or damage to the insulation.

        This hex key is supplied as a single 4mm key, not a set. Major Tech makes the VB insulated hex key in sizes from 3mm to 10mm, so other sizes are available separately if the job needs them. Order the size that matches each fastener.

        The insulated hex key must not be used on circuits above 1000V AC or 1500V DC. Stop using the key if the insulation is cut, cracked, or worn, because damaged insulation removes its live-work protection. The 4mm key should not be forced into a different fastener size.

        The Major Tech VB04 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
