Frequently Asked Questions

Are Wiha screwdrivers worth the investment?

Absolutely. Wiha screwdrivers are manufactured to professional standards with premium materials and often include lifetime warranties. Their precision tips reduce screw damage and cam-out, whilst ergonomic handles minimise fatigue. For tradesmen using screwdrivers daily, the durability and performance justify the initial cost many times over.

What does VDE insulated mean on Wiha screwdrivers?

VDE insulation indicates that each screwdriver has been individually tested to 10,000V and certified safe for working on live electrical installations up to 1,000V AC. This makes them essential for electricians and sparkies working with 240V mains circuits, providing crucial protection against electric shock.

How do I choose the right Wiha screwdriver for my trade?

Consider your primary applications: electricians should prioritise VDE insulated sets; mechanics benefit from Torx and hex options; joiners typically need robust Phillips, Pozi and slotted drivers. The SoftFinish® range suits most general trade work, whilst PicoFinish® is ideal for precision electronics and instrument work.
