WIHA ESD
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WIHA ESD from 3G Electric.
What tip sizes are available in the Wiha ESD Torx screwdriver set (MPN 27892)?
The Wiha ESD Torx set (MPN 27892) includes seven precision screwdrivers with Torx tips in sizes T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, and T10. These sizes cover common Torx fasteners found in electronics, such as those used in hard drives, laptops, and mobile devices. The drivers feature ESD-safe handles that dissipate static charges, making them suitable for work on static-sensitive components. The set is part of the Wiha ESD line and is available from 3G Electric with global shipping.
Are Wiha ESD screwdrivers suitable for use in ESD-protected areas?
Yes, Wiha ESD screwdrivers are designed for use in ESD-protected areas. The handles are made from materials that provide a controlled path to ground for static charges, preventing damage to sensitive electronic components. These tools meet the requirements for ESD-safe hand tools, typically with surface resistance values in the range of 10^6 to 10^9 ohms. They are commonly used in electronics manufacturing, repair, and assembly where ESD control programs are implemented. 3G Electric supplies multiple Wiha ESD sets, including Torx, hex, Phillips, and slotted configurations.
What is included in the 50-piece Wiha ESD precision screwdriver set (MPN 92093)?
The 50-piece Wiha ESD precision screwdriver set (MPN 92093) includes a variety of precision screwdrivers with different tip types and sizes. The set features drivers with overall lengths of 4 1/2 inches, 5 1/2 inches, and 6 1/2 inches, and a 4 mm blade width. Tip types typically include Phillips, slotted, Torx, and hex to cover a broad range of fasteners. The set is designed for ESD-safe work on sensitive electronic components. It is available from 3G Electric with logistics support for bulk orders.
Can I order individual Wiha ESD screwdrivers or only sets?
3G Electric currently lists Wiha ESD products as sets, such as the 6-piece, 7-piece, 8-piece, and 50-piece configurations. Individual screwdrivers may be available upon request, but the standard catalog offerings are sets. For specific needs, contact 3G Electric with the desired tip type and size, and the team can check availability. The sets are suitable for equipping workstations or tool kits with a range of ESD-safe drivers. All products are shipped globally.
What are the handle features of Wiha ESD precision screwdrivers?
Wiha ESD precision screwdrivers feature ergonomic handles designed for comfort and control during precision work. The handles are made from ESD-safe materials that dissipate static charges. Many models include a rotating cap on the end, allowing the user to apply downward pressure with the palm while turning the driver with the fingers. This design reduces hand fatigue and improves precision. The handles are typically color-coded to indicate ESD safety, often with a yellow or black finish. These features are consistent across the Wiha ESD line available from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Wiha ESD and standard Wiha screwdrivers?
The primary difference is that Wiha ESD screwdrivers have handles made from materials that dissipate static electricity, while standard Wiha screwdrivers do not. ESD-safe handles prevent the buildup and discharge of static charges that can damage sensitive electronic components. Standard screwdrivers are intended for general mechanical work where ESD protection is not required. Wiha ESD tools are typically marked with a yellow or black color and are tested to meet surface resistance standards. They are used in electronics assembly, repair, and other ESD-controlled environments. 3G Electric supplies both ESD and standard Wiha tools, but the ESD line is specified for static-sensitive applications.
