Wizard Wiha

Static Safe Environments (SSE) is delighted to announce that it has become a distributor of Wiha ESD hand tools. SSE has never before supplied hand tools and Managing Director, Paul Dickins recognized that there was a gap in the already extensive range of specialist ESD products and services offered by the company.

"I regularly spend time out with members of my Field Sales Team and requests for ESD hand tools are becoming increasingly common. SSE has a well known and well deserved reputation for supplying premium quality ESD products and we searched to find a supplier who could provide us with great quality, brilliant support and outstanding service; Wiha was our choice."

Wiha has been manufacturing in Germany for 70 years and has been developing its range of ESD hand tools over the last 10 years.

The Wiha range of ESD tools is comprehensive but not daunting in size. It includes screwdrivers with fixed blades, screwdrivers with reversible and interchangeable blades and even screwdrivers with adjustable torque settings.

Wiha ESD pliers come in a range of sizes and styles to suit every conceivable electronics application. A special feature of all Wiha pliers is their distinctive black and yellow handles which are 100% dissipative. This cannot be said for all ESD pliers where only certain parts of the handles are dissipative.

There is an excellent choice of 15 types of tweezers made from chromium-nickel stainless steel with a special ESD surface coating. All tweezers are supplied in packs of ten.

During 2006, Wiha launched its ground breaking, non metallic, ESD Dial Calliper with a reading accuracy of 0.1 mm. This calliper is the only genuine ESD calliper available in the UK market and the product demonstrates Wiha’s determination to always stay one step ahead of the competition.

Notwithstanding Wiha’s commitment to product development, further evidence of their devotion to dealing with ESD was the launch of a 32 page catalogue earlier this year exclusively dedicated to ESD hand tools.

Wiha Key Account Manager, Andrew Levick said, "I am delighted to be looking after the SSE account, they are a very professional company that clearly knows a huge amount about coping with the problems caused by electrostatic discharge.

As the only dedicated ESD equipment supplier exclusively handling the Wiha range I am determined to give the SSE sales team all the support I can in promoting the brand."
