A VDE tool is tested to 1000V and marked as such on the tool itself. The insulation is the rating rather than a comfort grip, which means any damage to it takes the tool out of service regardless of how well the plier itself still works. It also means a VDE tool is inspected before use rather than trusted because it was rated when bought.
That is the whole reason to buy a VDE tool rather than an insulated-looking one. The marking is the evidence, and a tool without it is not a VDE tool however thick the covering on its handles happens to be.
Once the rating is confirmed, the plier is chosen as any plier would be. Needle-nose combination pliers at 185mm grip, cut and reach. Diagonal side cutters at 180mm cut only. Insulated nut drivers at 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 x 125mm turn a nut where a plier would round it. Length is chosen the same way as on any plier, against the reach and the leverage the job needs.
Wall displays hold a full VDE set at the working position, at 28 pieces on the slat wall toolbars, which suits a bay where the tools are shared rather than carried. Insulation is inspected before use rather than periodically.
