New screwdrivers

[BOB the spark]

Just got these new drivers, the tips are slimmed down to fit RCBO's and solar switchgear but their still size 2 so dont snap blades
a pozi and a philips version. CK calling them the modfathers

I have the standard version of these Ck Mod1 and Mod2 drivers. but not seen a slim version before.

When I got my wiha torque screwdriver, it came with +\- in sizes 1 and 2…. The 2 was just a little too large for some RCBO terminals and stripped out some plastic… so I used the 1

That turned out wrong, as even set to the correct torque, I managed to rip off the point. Had to go back to the size 2.

Wiha sent replacement 1’s under warranty…. And the regular pz2 from a non torque set does however fit without damaging the plastic.


I just wish the hex shank and slot for the bits were a tad larger on the wiha, so that anybodies bits would fit.

Wiha do make a fully insultaed vde screwdriver handle which takes standard impact / screwdriver bits, but is non torque.

Yes, I’ve got that one with a miriad of various bits… interchangeable bits with the torque version….

Think I didn't explain properly
I have had the slim SL/PZ 1 and 2 for years but ck now have a 1.5 so it fits the RCBO but doesnt damage the screw or brake the blade

Just ordered the Wiha slim tips which looks similar, really like my Wiha torque driver with the slim tip, so thought I'd upgrade my 10 year old assortment of Stanley drivers.

wiha standard vde drivers are great imo> i have a set and use them daily and dare i say abuse them daily and they stand the test of time
