FAQs

What type of bits does the Wiha 7123 support?

It supports bits according to DIN 3126, ISO 1173 style C 6.3, with a 1/4" hex shank drive (style E 6.3).

How strong is the magnet?

The bit holder features a strong Neodymium ring magnet with an extraction force of 16 N (approximately 1.6 kg), capable of securely holding most common screws.

Can the magnetic function be turned off?

Yes, the magnetic force can be deactivated by pushing back the metal sleeve.

What is the purpose of the retracting sleeve?

The sleeve automatically retracts during the final fastening stage, providing a clear view of the screw head for precise recessing and preventing damage to the work surface.

What are the physical dimensions of the bit holder?

It has a length of 62 mm and weighs 57 g.

Is the sleeve made of plastic or metal?

The sleeve is made of metal and is coated for durability.

What kind of packaging does it come in?

It comes in a reusable, dust-repellent plastic box for convenient storage and protection.

Troubleshooting

Bit is not securely held

Ensure the bit conforms to DIN 3126, ISO 1173 style C 6.3 and is fully inserted into the holder until it clicks. Check for any debris in the bit holder's receiving end.

Sleeve does not retract automatically

Check for obstructions around the sleeve or in the mechanism. Clean the sleeve and ensure no debris is preventing its movement. Verify the bit is correctly seated.

Magnet does not hold screws effectively

Clean the magnetic tip thoroughly. Ensure the magnet is not deactivated. For very heavy screws, the holder is designed for assistance, not complete sole support.

Difficulty deactivating the magnet

Ensure you are pushing the sleeve back firmly. Clean the sleeve and surrounding area for any obstructions that might impede its movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent screw holding capability due to the strong Neodymium magnet.
  • The auto-retracting sleeve significantly improves precision and visibility during fastening.
  • Ability to deactivate the magnet offers flexibility for different tasks.
  • Durable metal sleeve construction ensures a long service life.
  • Compact and lightweight design for comfortable use in tight spaces.

Cons

  • Requires specific bit types conforming to DIN 3126, ISO 1173 style C 6.3.
  • The magnetic feature might not be ideal for very delicate surfaces where accidental contact could cause marks.
  • Extraction force is rated at 16 N, which is adequate for most screws but may not suit extremely heavy-duty applications without additional support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Wiha 7123 is designed for immediate use with compatible screwdriver bits. Insert a bit conforming to DIN 3126, ISO 1173 style C 6.3 into the drive end until it clicks or seats firmly.

Compatibility: This bit holder is suitable for bits with a DIN 3126, ISO 1173, style E 6.3 drive. The shank shape is a standard hex shank, 1/4-inch (25.4 / 4 mm). Always ensure your bits match these specifications for optimal performance and safety.

Care: To maintain the functionality of the magnet and sleeve, clean the bit holder regularly. Wipe the metal sleeve and magnetic tip with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the coating or magnetic properties. Store the bit holder in its provided reusable, dust-repellent plastic box when not in use to protect it from contaminants and physical damage.
