Wera Werkzeuge - ESD (antistatic)
Professional tools
Wera Werkzeuge set the engineering benchmark for professional hand tools with precision-ground Kraftform ergonomic handles, Laser Tip surface hardening on screwdriver blades to increase grip torque by up to 50%, and torque-limiting mechanisms accurate to ±6% in their click wrenches - all manufactured to DIN ISO 3658, DIN EN ISO 1173, and ASME B107 standards. The 867/4 TORX® Bit series features a hardness of 62 HRC at the tip and a Torsion Zone that absorbs peak loads to prevent cam-out even at sustained output torques above 15 Nm.
As an authorized distributor, esd.equipment stocks 862 active Wera SKUs ready for same-day dispatch, spanning screwdrivers, bit sets, ratchets, torque wrenches, socket sets, and L-keys - all traceable to DIN EN ISO 9001 and compliant with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC where applicable.
