ESD safe Phillips no. 1 screwdriver, 4.8 x 76.2 mm blade, ergo handle - Weller XPE101

Working on populated assemblies calls for a dissipative tool and a grip profile that keeps transferring torque over a full shift. The XPE101 pairs an ESD safe handle core with a 76.2 mm blade of 4.8 mm diameter for size 1 Phillips screws.

What the driver delivers

• The handle core is declared ESD safe by the manufacturer, which allows work on electrostatic sensitive assemblies.
• Blade of 4.8 mm diameter and 76.2 mm blade length at 171.5 mm overall, so the reach is a fixed quantity when planning.
• Ergonomically shaped grip with a soft non-slip coating carries sustained high torque without tiring the hand early.
• Impact resistant composite core in the handle plus a one-piece unbreakable cap that turns with little friction in the palm.
• Thumb rest adds axial force on the screw and the narrow pinch section keeps the tool controlled during fine adjustment.

Applications

Electronics manufacturing and repair at ESD protected workstations, equipment assembly, precision mechanics, test benches and field service.

Standards and compliance

The manufacturer lists the tool as ESD safe in its property table. Whether a workstation meets IEC 61340-5-1 is decided by verification of the complete EPA, not by a single tool.
