The right bit instantly

 

Which bit do I need for this job?

Is this all too familiar to you? You just want to find the right bit for a specific task quickly. You're standing in the store and seem to spend hours gazing at the huge variety of ranges and variants there, trying to work out which bit is the one that you need. Or you google away online looking for help and the right choice.

We've now put an end to your searches. Selecting the right bits now takes a matter of seconds since all you need to do is to look at the screw shape.

 

 

 

 

Easy concept, easy instructions:

  • If you have screws with a 90 degree angle at the screw head which largely fit flat onto the material surface, then you need the new blue T bits.
  • You should choose the yellow Y bits for screws with an angle greater than 90 degrees.
  • If you wish to fasten both types, then the red universal ones - the TY bits - are right for you.

Now you're ready. You don't even need to ask yourself whether you require an impact screwdriver or simply fasten screws by hand.

How you benefit

  • Optimum performance, long life = you'll take far less time to change bits thanks to a lifespan* at 120 times longer. Saving time also saves money. Fewer changes also mean less risk of losing bits and needing to find them again.

  • "Impact perfect" for all uses = one bit for one screw type, no matter how you intend to fasten it. Our bits are suitable for both impact screwdriver tasks and for fastening by hand. This makes it quicker and easier to switch between different steps in your work process.

  • UV coating makes it easier to look for and find = the special UV layer in the colour coating lights up the bits with a fluorescent glow if you shine a suitable light on them, such as the Wiha multi-functional torch. This ensures that they can be spotted far more quickly, especially in dark places, such as engine rooms, or among other grey bits.

Our three bit categories in detail

Wiha TY-Bit

With a lifespan* at 120 times longer, the Wiha TY bit is suitable for all types of screws. Our patented Wiha bit technology for an optimised torsion zone ensures an extremely high standard of quality. This makes the TY bit the right choice for both Y-shaped countersunk screws and T-shaped socket head screws. Universal in its use, the TY bit is the ideal tool for fastenings in all types of materials – from metal to wood.

The TY bit also stands out thanks to its red marking, making it easy to find. If you shine a suitable UV light on the bit, you can even see it in the dark thanks to its fluorescent coating.

Wiha T-Bit

With a lifespan* at 120 times longer, the Wiha T bit is eminently suitable for T-shaped screws. Our patented Wiha bit technology for optimised torsion zones ensures a very high standard of quality. T-shaped screws, also known as socket head screws, are characterised by a 90° angle between the thread and screw head. The T bit is also particularly suitable for fastening T screws in materials such as metal (tough fastenings).

The T bit also stands out thanks to its blue marking, making it easy to find. If you shine a suitable UV light on this bit, you can even see it in the dark thanks to its fluorescent coating.

Wiha Y-Bit

With a lifespan* at 120 times longer, the Wiha Y bit is eminently suitable for Y-shaped screws. Our patented Wiha bit technology for optimised torsion zones ensures an extremely high standard of quality. Y-shaped screws, also known as countersunk screws, are characterised by an angle greater than 90° between the thread and screw head. The Y bit is also particularly suitable for fastening Y screws in materials such as wood (soft applications).

The Y bit also stands out thanks to its yellow marking, making it easy to find. If you shine a suitable UV light on this bit, you can even see it in the dark thanks to its fluorescent coating.

(*compared to Wiha standard bit)

Our high-grade bits are robust, high-performance all-rounders for trades, industry and the home, suitable for both manual fastening and machine use. The comprehensive Wiha bit range provides a wide selection of profiles: the right matching piece is there for every screw profile, whether you need pozidriv bits, Phillips bits, TORX® bits or internal hexagon bits.
You are equipped to handle fastenings in all materials with our new bit boxes and bit sets, no matter whether you need to fasten into tough materials such as metal or soft ones such as wood. How can it be? Our new TY, T and Y bits are suitable for both impact screwdrivers and manual fastening. This means you'll always have the right battery-powered screwdriver or impact screwdriver bit with our new Wiha bits.

You can obtain our Wiha Bits and their matching bit holder in a range of bit boxes: the BitBuddy® bit set, the Flip Selector bit set and the XL Selector bit set. Naturally, you can also purchase our bits in smaller bit boxes. You may not particularly want the box or packaging, but you want the contents. Rest assured: no matter which variant you pick, you'll always make the right choice with our new professional bits or professional bit sets for any application field.

Let's switch from an essentials perspective to a general one: how would you describe a bit if someone asked you what it was? A bit or bit tool refers to a component which is used to transmit force between a screw-driving tool, such as a drilling machine, and a screw, such as a socket head screw or a countersunk screw. Bits are interchangeable and they are available with different profile characteristics, as already described. There are different bits for a variety of machine standards such as ¼" or 5/16". Bits thus offer optimum flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
