Wiha celebrates 85 years with a “special twist”

Hand tool manufacturer and tool range provider Wiha is celebrating its 85th birthday this year. As a “tribute” to the long history of the company and its development, the globally renowned traditional company is presenting the limited edition SoftFinish® 85 years screwdriver set to mark the occasion.
The multifunctional flashlight from Wiha has gone from strength to strength since its market launch a few years ago. Following up on this success, Wiha is now presenting four additional work light solutions based on the same concept of maximising the benefits with a compact size. Where dark work environments could otherwise hamper the work of professionals, the following solutions throw light on the matter, even if no electricity is available: rechargeable floodlight, two handlamps, and a headlamp. Each is a convincing solution in its own right, due to adjustable luminance levels or different light modes. Depending on the version, practical attachment options and ingenious functional refinements ensure easy and efficient use. A magnetic mount and a 360° rotating suspension hook on the floodlight, dimming function and sensor-based on and off switching of the handlamps or headlamps are just a few of the special features. Each product is impact resistant and splash water protected, which makes them reliable rugged everyday companions on construction sites or similar work environments.
Hand tool manufacturer Wiha was able to score double at this year's iF DESIGN AWARD, making it among the proud winners of the prestigious international design label. The award was granted to the Wiha tool backpack sets and the multifunctional pliers 8in1 electric in the Industry/Tools category of the Product sector.
