Precision-crafted Screwdrivers

March 6, 2009
Weidmuller is pleased to announce the addition of several new screwdrivers, screwdriver sets and electric torque screwdriver bits to their extensive line of high-quality tools.  Weidmuller tools are designed for ease-of-use and manufactured from the highest quality materials to ensure long tool life and exceptional industrial grade performance. Three new slotted insulated screwdrivers are available. The SDI 0.4x2.0x60 features a narrower tip than previous models, and will be included in a new six piece set, SDIS 2.0 - 5.5.  Two other new insulated screwdrivers, the SDI 1.0x4.5x175 and the SDI 1.0x5.5x175, each feature a blade that is 50mm (2”) longer to extend the user’s reach.  Weidmuller’s new line of insulated screwdrivers are safe for working in applications up to 1500 volts DC and 1000 volts AC, with protective insulation molded directly on the screwdriver blade.  In addition to the three new insulated screwdrivers, a new 6 piece un-insulated set, SDS 2.0 - 5.5, is available. As with all Weidmuller screwdrivers, these new products feature a SoftFinish® grip design, created to prevent slipping, enable maximum torque, and provide comfortable handling.    Weidmuller’s eight new slotted electric torque screwdriver bits are made from high quality, CVM-steel to ensure a long service life when used at high torque values. The new bits include six slotted ¼” drive E 6.3 hex bits (.2480” diameter), all featuring a 40-50 mm (1 17/32” to 2”) increase in length over the current bits.  Two new E 6.3Z hex bits (.2480” diameter) have a unique notched blade design created specifically for use with Weidmuller terminal test sockets (STB 5.5 thru 7.5).  A new ¼” universal quick-change bit holder features a locking and magnet function for quick bit change-outs, which improves handling time.  Weidmuller bits are manufactured with consistently high product quality based on the relevant ISO standards.
