Wiha 28792 Insulated Torque Screwdriver Review

Wiha makes the most of high tech tools and this insulated torque screwdriver is no exception. Impeccable implementation of design and construction.

The set works great. I just expected a little more for the dollar amount. The tips wear out very quickly and the case is very cheap. The tools will get the job done, but when you pay more expect a superior product. They are clearly not bigger.

I've been an electrician for 18 years and I can honestly tell you I never tightened a single bolt until I bought it. That's a point I'm not proud of, I just didn't realize how important it is. Now I'm looking for time to use my shiny new set. I love how easy and quick it is to set the torque value and sometimes it surprises me how loose the plate screws are. That being said, I have a few very minor complaints. Complaint #1: It comes with a Phillips + Spline combo. Bit (this is a common bit for…
