Usage
The Wiha SoftFinish SlimFix Minus PH1 x 80 mm screwdriver is designed for manual screw fastening, particularly in electrical installations where safe work near live parts up to 1,000 V AC is required. Ideal for precise and controlled tightening or loosening of Phillips screws in confined spaces.
Advantages
- Ergonomic multi-component SoftFinish handle reduces hand fatigue and ensures optimal transmission of force for professional use[1][6].
- SlimFix blade with integrated insulation enables access to deeply recessed or low-lying screws, thanks to up to 33% slimmer profile[5][6].
- Certified safety for electrical work with insulation individually tested according to IEC 60900 standards, rated up to 1,000 V AC[1][6].
- Precision-machined tip ensures accurate fit and minimal cam-out when working with PH1 screws.
- The roll-off protection prevents the tool from rolling on flat surfaces; some users may find the slender handle less suitable for high-torque applications[1].
Specifications
- Design & Materials: Hardened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel blade with directly moulded safety insulation; ergonomic Wiha SoftFinish handle made from durable composite materials[4][6].
- Durability & Standards: Certified according to IEC 60900 for electrical safety; engineered for long service life through robust material selection and manufacturing techniques[1][7].
- Performance: Blade length: 80 mm; overall length: 191 mm; protection against voltages up to 1,000 V AC per individual testing protocols[7].
- Differentiating Features: SlimFix shaft provides extra reach in narrow installation spaces; printed screw symbol on handle facilitates quick identification; anti-roll design increases workplace efficiency[5][7].
How it works
This screwdriver is used by inserting its precision Phillips PH1 tip into a compatible screw head. The insulated slim shaft allows access into tight areas while protecting against electric shock during work on live components. The ergonomic SoftFinish handle provides user comfort and control during repetitive tasks.
