Wiha the hand tool manufacturer is now launching its new speedE® II electric e-screwdriver. Faster, stronger and more versatile in design, the new generation of the electric screwdriver now promises even more application advantages. The Wiha speedE® II has two material protection levels of 0.4 Nm and 1 Nm, which open up a new range of applications. With its voltage-proof slimBit interchangeable system (up to 1,000 V AC), this 'Made in Germany' innovation offers users maximum safety, flexibility and freedom of choice in everyday professional life.
Its globally unique functionality is characterised by its intuitive and easy handling: First the screws are automatically tightened three times faster than with a conventional screwdriver, and then the material protection stop is activated. Particularly with sensitive screw connections and when care is needed when fastening, very high power transmissions quickly cause material damage. For this reason, the power level 0.4 Nm should be selected in such cases.
With the sliding position at the 1.0 Nm level, speedE® II can also be used in combination with the yellow Power slimBits as tools for tasks requiring more strength, for example for fastening larger threaded screws. The screw can then be carefully tightened fully by hand in both material protection stages.
The ring switch allows convenient operation in all working positions. A ring LED light provides maximum illumination of the working area, which makes work even easier for users and prevents shadows being thrown on the work piece. The red and yellow slimBits are all individually tested at 10,000 V AC, are approved up to 1,000 V AC and with their colour coding are helpful for selecting the correct power stage. Small screw profiles are generally used for sensitive, delicate screw connections. The matching slimBits with their red colour tell users that they should set the material protection level to the red, 0.4 Nm level for this application. For stronger screw connections with larger profiles, the yellow colour of the respective slimBits shows that the slider can also be used to switch to yellow and therefore to a powerful 1.0 Nm.
Using the ergonomically designed speedE® II greatly reduces stress and muscle strain for professionals who often have screwdrivers in continuous use, making the strenuous manual screwing process is a thing of the past. Muscles and tendons in hands, arms and the entire musculoskeletal system are subjected to less strain, which means a noticeable health benefit for users in many professions who use conventional fastening tools in their daily work. It is therefore also recommended by German doctors and physiotherapists at the AGR (Campaign for Healthier Backs).
In terms of size and weight, the speedE® II is comparable with conventional screwdrivers, which makes it the ideal companion for mobile applications. The 'Made in Germany' label underlines that the highest standards regarding robustness and quality apply.
The speedE® II Set includes the e-screwdriver itself, one red and one yellow slimBit, two standard 18500 rechargeable batteries, a USB charger and an L-Boxx Mini. Additional accessories, such as the easyTorque torque adapter, slimBit boxes, bags and a suitable power supply unit for the USB charger are available separately.
The Wiha speedE® II electric is the latest member of the now 96-part Wiha ElectricVario family, which combines all fastening tools, slimBits, ¼" hexagon head nut driver, adapters and more and optimally covers all fastening tool tasks with multiple combination options.
