Lasertip
If your tool slips off the screw whilst you’re tightening it, you could injure yourself – but more often than not, it leaves very annoying scratches on the surface.
We wanted to spare ourselves and our users this everyday annoyance in future – with Wera Lasertip tips.
A sharply edged surface structure is created using a narrowly focused laser beam. This micro-rough surface grips firmly into the screw head and prevents slipping. For slotted, Phillips and Pozidriv screws.
Wera Lasertip reduces the required contact pressure and increases force transmission. Screwdriving becomes safer and more comfortable.
Using the latest technologies and components, we are constantly optimising the Kraftform handle. The handle shape developed in 1968 has been retained, as the human hand has not changed since then either.
The Kraftform handle
In 1968, Wera’s product developers at the time completely rethought the design of screwdrivers, which had previously been regarded as ‘standard’, and thus went down in the company’s history as Wera rebels. Frequent screwdriving led to calluses on the hands and, due to poor power transmission, often caused the screwdriver to slip.
The solution was the invention of the multi-component Kraftform handle, adapted to the human hand – with soft zones for a firm grip at high torque and hard zones for optimised working speed.
We continue to optimise the Kraftform handle using the latest technologies and components. The handle shape developed in 1968 has been retained, as the human hand has not changed since then either.
Torque tools
A screw can be tightened so much that it breaks – conversely, if it is tightened too loosely, this can also have disastrous consequences for the user. We wanted to change this situation and have developed easily adjustable torque screwdrivers.
Wera’s adjustable torque screwdrivers allow for variable torque settings with maximum precision. The user benefits from the highest build quality and superior ergonomics in the familiar Wera design. Featuring an ergonomic Kraftform handle and a clearly audible and perceptible click signal when the required torque is reached.
Kraftform Compact
Tools with a holding function
Many users lose their screws – and their patience – when feeding them into the workpiece. The HF tools developed by Wera solve this problem through geometric optimisation of the original TORX® profile. Thanks to the clamping force resulting from the surface pressure between the drive tip and the screw profile, screws are held securely on the tool in accordance with Acument Intellectual Properties specifications!
8740 HF -: The hexagon socket screw on the bit socket is secured by a spring-loaded ball on the bit.
8790 HF -: The hexagon socket screw in the socket is secured by two spring-loaded balls and a permanently elastic, high-strength heat-shrink sleeve.
Impactor
For extreme demands on screwdriving tools.
Machine-driven screwdriving operations involving ever-increasing forces have literally caused many users’ bits to fly off. We wanted to change that for the future.
We have meticulously examined the geometries and material properties of the bits for every screw profile. We have analysed the broken bits, holders and screws in detail. The result is the Impaktor system – all our expertise in bit manufacturing combined in our best bit series.
Joker
Everything. Better. Experts.
At some point, we asked ourselves why you always have to turn open-ended spanners when working with them, why they’re offset, why you’re constantly losing bolts, and why your hand slips and you hurt your fingers. Rethinking the open-ended design has led to a real ‘Joker’ that still works even when no other option will do.
With the Joker’s holding function, nuts and bolts can be guided directly and securely to the fastening point. Thanks to its end stop plate, the Joker reduces the risk of slipping down the bolt head.
The replaceable hardened metal plate in the Joker’s jaws bites into the screw with extremely hard tips.
Instead of 60°, the Joker offers a 30° return angle thanks to its double hexagonal geometry. This – combined with its straight head – means the Joker eliminates the need to turn the wrench.
Zyklop Speed
Conventional ratchets were simply far too slow for us to work effectively. We were also bothered by the fact that users need many different types of ratchet to get the job done. We challenged everything that was standard practice with ratchets and developed the Wera Zyklop Speed ratchet.
The flywheel design of the Zyklop Speed ensures a very high working speed. What’s more, the Zyklop Speed combines the advantages of five ratchet functions in a single tool. It can also be used as a screwdriver.
The ratchet head swivels freely and can be locked into defined positions using the slide switch fitted on both sides.
Hex-Plus
Extends the life of hex socket screws!
Traditional angle wrenches all too often round off the screw head profiles during use, with the result that screws can no longer be tightened, the tool slips, and users are often left with a lot of tedious extra work.
Optimisation was needed, so we developed Wera Hex-Plus tools.
Wera Hex-Plus tools have larger contact surfaces on the screw head. This reduces the notching effect and thus the deformation of the screw. At the same time, up to 20% higher torques can be transmitted.
The grip coating makes working comfortable and safe, even at low temperatures. All angle wrenches are easy to find thanks to their colour coding and size marking.
Take it Easy Tool Finder.
At Wera, we work with the aim of making users’ lives easier, safer and ‘full of joy’. We achieve this by challenging perceived standards and developing solutions to problems. The new Wera ‘Take it easy’ tool finder makes finding the right tool super easy.
Coloured bands according to profiles make it easier to find the right drive. The size marking ensures easy differentiation within the profiles. The Wera tool finder is available from Wera for all top bit ranges: Impaktor, Stainless, Diamond, BiTorsion. There are also angle wrenches, sockets, bit sockets and open-ended spanners with the Take it easy tool finder.
