Germany-based WIHA is one of the leading manufacturers of screwdrivers. Their products are recognised all over the world, especially for their excellent quality and reliability. This is supported by the fact that the company received a number of awards for, among other things, its innovative ideas, design and customer-oriented approach. When choosing the right screwdriver, it is worth exploring this manufacturer’s range, in particular the ElectricVario series. It has been designed so that the individual components complement each other perfectly and satisfy the requirements of even the most demanding users.
The screwdriver is one of the basic tools found in the toolbox of every DIY enthusiast and specialist. This ingenious invention comes in handy when assembling a lamp, dismantling a wireless computer mouse that still doesn’t work after you replaced the batteries, but it is also indispensable for fitting, inspection and assembly work in manufacturing plants. Despite their popularity and simplicity, some screwdrivers outperform other ones, so it is worth taking some time to choose the right tool that suits you best.
ElectricVario handle
The handle is a crucial part of the tool and it is the handle design that determines the ergonomic use of the screwdriver. For the Wiha engineers, every detail matters, which is why the ElectricVario product family includes as many as six handle types that can be divided into three categories.
Stubby electric, PicoFinish® electric and slimVario® electric are the three classic handle types that you will encounter in virtually every workshop. The first of these, sometimes referred to as the “pear-shaped” handle, makes it possible to loosen even a tightly seized screw, the second one is a slim handle with a soft grip area for precision work, and the third one is an intermediate solution that strikes a balance between power and precision.

speedE® & TorqueVario®-S electric are torque handles for precision screwdriving at up to 0.4 Nm. These tools will never damage the material and are certified by the German VDE institute.
