Wiha SoftFinish Phillips Screwdriver - PH2 x 100mm

This screwdriver is specifically designed for Phillips head screws, with a PH2 tip size.

No, this specific Wiha SoftFinish Phillips Screwdriver (PH2 x 100mm) is not insulated and should not be used on or near live electrical circuits. Wiha offers dedicated VDE insulated screwdrivers for electrical applications.

Wiha's ChromTop finish is a specialized tip treatment that ensures a precise fit into screw heads. This exact fit minimizes cam-out (when the screwdriver slips out of the screw head) and helps prevent damage to both the screw and the screwdriver tip.

To maintain your screwdriver, keep it clean by wiping it down after use, store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion, and inspect the tip periodically for wear. Avoid using it as a prying tool or chisel to prevent damage.

While the durable tip can handle some resistance, heavily rusted screws may require additional steps like applying penetrating oil or using specialized impact drivers to prevent damage to both the screw and the tool. Ensure proper engagement and firm pressure.

A through-hardened blade means the entire shaft of the screwdriver has been uniformly heat-treated. This process provides consistent hardness and strength throughout the blade, making it exceptionally resistant to bending, twisting, and wear, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Yes, the SoftFinish handle is ergonomically designed with a multi-component material that fits comfortably in the hand. This design reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use and provides a secure grip for efficient torque transfer.

Ensure you are using the correct PH2 size screwdriver for the screw. Apply firm, consistent downward pressure directly in line with the screw while turning. Avoid angled insertion or excessive speed.

First, ensure proper tip engagement and downward pressure. For very stubborn screws, tap the top of the screwdriver handle gently with a hammer (ensure the tip is fully seated) to help dislodge rust or seize. For rusted screws, consider using a penetrating oil if appropriate for the material before attempting to turn.

While the ChromTop tip is very durable, excessive force, using the wrong size, or prying can cause damage. If the tip is significantly worn, it may be time to replace the screwdriver to prevent damage to fasteners. Ensure you are using the tool correctly to maximize its lifespan.
