just seen a close up picture, so they do include flat bits, how much were they again?

I like the fact that the set shown has the "Slim" insulation thats the drawback of ruddy RCBOs just now Im lookin for that set as im not cuttin insulation off my good ones

 

[saabuldin]

very nice volts. The insulated slim bits are neat. congrats again

1x bit holder

4x torx bits 10, 15, 20, 25
4 x flat bits 0.4x2.5, 0.5x3.0, 0.8x4.0, 1.0x5.5
PH1, PH2, PZ1, PZ2
(MCBS) SL/PZ1, SL/PZ2

SO 14 useable screwdriver for £75 all in (VAT and p&p)

Does anyone think this is good value, or at least not over the odds? I'm pleased so far. I would have gone for a couple of stand alones but you can't get a standard mcb driver into the small holes in an rcbo.

does your new wiha take normal 1/4inch bits as well as the wiha ones

 

[VoltzElectrical]

just tried. No. Only the bits supplied.

 

[saabuldin]

looks like they want us to only use there bits

Been using my CK ones for over a week now, very happy with them.

 

[VoltzElectrical]

UPDATE!!!!!! Just used these all day doing two large boards, and VERY happy!! As I suspected from their lightweight nature, they're not graunchdivers. BUT that's what you want from a set of this kind. They handled the task beautifully, and the mcb bits fitted the terminal heads exquisitely, speeding up the installation time by loads. No slippage, positive engagement every time, Tight, bit not graunched on the conductors. VERY VERY happy and can recommend!

cheers all, from what has been a very worthy and rewarding thread.

 

[saabuldin]

Thats great. I hope you have a long life with them.

 

[saabuldin]

by the way. what do they actually call these mcb bits. I want to search for them but dont know what to type

 

[VoltzElectrical]

plus minus I believe. Obviously I can recommend the 'slim Vario' from Wiha not least because they can fit into an RCBO, surely an advantage these days? Why spend good money on ONE driver then find it won't fit into the products you're installing.

thanks volts. yes i did see somewhere called plus minus. Whats the best place to get screwdriver bits. I was looking for the longer 50mm ones as the short ones have problem using in tight spaces. Its for the wiha insulated screwdriver bit holder. the one with the flip top bit holder. this one http://www.axminster.co.uk/wiha-wiha-insulated-flip-top-screwdriver-bit-holder-prod839127/

that's the driver handle I have. For the bits, I dunno. If that website doesn't do them, look back through this thread to the link to Wiha uk and try that. failing that, post agin and I will try to source some bits for you. Another great thing about these is that you can put them in a battery drill (on a low torque setting of course).
