Get to know the Wiha ElectricVario Family with these 5 questions

For more efficiency and safety at work

Do you regularly carry a large selection of tools with you, struggle with hard-to-reach screw connections or are you looking for a more efficient solution for your everyday work? Then it's time to get to know the ElectricVario family! These 5 questions show you how this system can save you time, weight and space...

Question 1: What exactly is the ElectricVario Family – and why should electricians know about it?

The ElectricVario Family is a fully combinable system comprising over 100 individual tools – including various screwdriver handles, adapters and extensions, slimBits and socket wrenches. All components in the system are optimally matched to each other and can be combined in a modular fashion as required. This offers decisive advantages, especially for electrical professionals: they benefit from significantly reduced space requirements, noticeably lower weight in the tool case and maximum flexibility for voltage-proof working up to 1,000 V AC – even in complex and confined installation situations.

Question 2: What typical practical challenges can be solved particularly well with this system?

Above all, confined spaces and hard-to-reach screw connections. With slimBits blades that are up to 33% slimmer and a short stubby handle, you can even reach into cramped housings or distribution cabinets. The PicoFinish® handle is ideal for delicate work, for example on control circuits or clamping strips. When strength is required, the SoftFinish® longitudinal handle ensures optimum power transmission and ergonomic handling. The speedE® II electric electric screwdriver is the right choice for a high number of screw connections per day.

Question 3: What distinguishes the ElectricVario Family from conventional screwdrivers or sets?

Quite clearly: the system logic. Instead of needing a separate tool for each fastening task, the handle, extension and bit can be individually combined. This not only means less weight and space, but also significantly more efficient working. In addition, all tools are VDE-tested, enabling safe working in the vicinity of live parts.

Question 4: Do you have any tips on how users can put together their ideal set?

It's best to first consider which fastening tasks you perform most frequently – whether they require precision or a lot of force, in hard-to-reach areas or with different profiles. You can then select the appropriate handles, extensions, torque adapters and slimBits. The 32-piece Tool set slimVario in a functional case is a great basis for this. If desired, the set can be individually expanded with slimBit boxes and individual components.

Question 5: What safety information should you be aware of?

All tools in the ElectricVario family are VDE-tested and offer maximum safety up to 1,000 volts. In addition, the modular system facilitates healthy working as it is optimised for ergonomics and weight. And: For controlled screw connections, we strongly recommend the TorqueVario®-S electric in conjunction with the Torque QuickCheck – this prevents dangerous over- or under-torque.
