What is included in the Wiha 29138 set?
The set contains five MicroFinish mechanic's screwdrivers with slotted and Phillips tips. The manufacturer identifies the set as having one-piece hexagonal blades and solid steel caps, so it is intended for heavier mechanic's work rather than small electronics tasks.
Is this screwdriver set suitable for wet or oily work?
It is designed for turning screws in wet and oily applications. Wiha describes a micro-fine handle surface intended to improve grip when moisture or oil makes a conventional smooth handle harder to hold. The handle does not remove the need for safe cleaning and hand protection.
Can the Wiha 29138 be struck with a hammer?
Yes. Each screwdriver has a solid steel cap at the handle end, and Wiha says the cap is directly connected to the blade for transmitting impact energy. This supports controlled hammer blows when loosening stuck screws; use appropriate eye protection and avoid striking tools not intended for impact.
Can a wrench be used to add torque?
Yes. Wiha states that the blade has a hexagonal head that allows a screw wrench to transfer additional torque. Use a correctly sized wrench and the matching driver tip, and stop if the fastener or tool begins to slip to reduce the risk of damage or injury.
What warranty period does Wiha publish for this set?
Wiha's GB customer-information page states that warranty claims expire two years after delivery for purchases covered by those terms. It also describes defect remedies such as repair or replacement for justified, timely complaints. Warranty terms can vary by selling region, so confirm the applicable terms with the seller.
