Comfortable to hold with the added bonus of being vde. My most used tool and great when wiring lots of control equipment. I find it much more beneficial having the swivel head compared to a standard terminal driver.

Hi. I'm Dave from DCB Plumbing and Heating. I'm a member of Expert Trades. Today we're going to be
doing a review for Tool Talk.

Today, I'm going to be reviewing the PicoFinish Wiha electrical screwdriver. This is a small screwdriver
for your little Conti blocks that you use when doing wiring, obviously in the back of fuse beds. The tiny
tip. Excellent finish in quality. It's been well used, I'll tell you that. It's been well used. The thing that
makes this different to any of the other screwdrivers, I believe I've ever had or even seen, I will add, is
this top. It actually twists without the screwdriver moving itself.

How that's good is for the simple reason is when you're doing your little electrical works, and you find it
pinches when you're trying to twist the screwdriver within your fingers. You can actually sit the back on
your fingers and twist it. With that, it means you can very, very simply, very, very easily just twist the
screwdriver on the screw in the ... and then when you need a little bit of extra, obviously you get your
hands on it properly.

I've never seen anything like this before. This is something that I just came across, and I thought it was a
fantastic idea. I'm here to tell you it is a fantastic idea. It's just brilliant. Whoever thought of that idea of
having the whizzle top so it easily twists on your hand, I don't know, whoever it is, deserves a pay rise.
Fantastic little tool.

Again, always the same from Wiha. Top quality build. I mean, I don't know what it would take to remove
that top, because it is so well built I don't know how it twists. I don't really know how it works. The fact it
does work and it works well is a reason that we're talking about it today. Definite five-star review
because it's brilliant. I think it's a superb little tool.

I would recommend any electrician or anyone working with any electrics to have this in their arsenal. I
have it in one of my pockets at all times for the little things that just need it or just to keep it at hand. I
think it's brilliant. Top quality tool. Superb. You should definitely have one.

Just a wee video review of the Wiha picofinish. Found them very good for, like you see, tight spaces and also not a plumbing engineer or a heating engineer but handy to get them out. That's good for the likes of these. Good to have a handy screwdriver to keep for getting to them awkward things. But they are required for that but, in general, just a good screwdriver handy to keep in the port.
