Wiha warranty ?

[Finky198]

So I've been contemplating buying some new screwdrivers and noticed that Wiha carries a Heavy duty screwdriver with a striking cap and hex bolster.

They look pretty cool but I was wondering what their warranty is like compared to the lets say Snap-On will they warranty there handles or are you basically screwed once their beat and have to buy new ones


Oh and I'm not looking at other brands. I have the Wiha insulated drivers and I've been happy, but I could see that handles may not last to long. So Before I buy any more of these, I'm just curious as to any real world experiences for the long haul.

I didn't know Wiha made any drivers with striking caps like that.

I think those are direct competitors to the Wera Chiseldrivers and the Klein Demolition drivers and the like. I broke a tip off a Wera Chiseldriver using it as a chisel and they replaced it without any issue. I'd expect Wiha would be at least as good as that. I searched around a bit but couldn't find anything "official" from Wiha stating their intended use. Despite the name, I think the Wera's are mostly intended as a sort of half way in between a screwdriver and an impact screwdriver.

I don't think any of these are really intended for use as a chisel, but maybe someone else can find something more concrete from Wiha. While I was searching though I found Klein suggesting using their demolition drivers to hammer into a utility pole and be used to hang tool bags from!

I figure they could work quite well here in the Northeast rust belt it seems like they would be very easy to tap on with a hammer to remove rust and hopfully loosen screws with shock having the hex bolster just seems like an added bonus.

Any one else tried these or scene them

Finky198,

Here is a link to Wiha Tools warranty policy: LINK.

As long as the screwdriver is not used as a pry bar or a chisel, the warranty is still in effect on it.
