Wuppertal. The Wuppertal-based screwdriving specialist Wera has had compact tools in its ranges for many years now. These are tools that have been designed by developers for as many applications as possible but which are still so compact that they are particularly suitable for mobile usage. Now, the “Tool Rebels” have launched the Kraftform Kompakt Tool Finder 1 – the first compact tool with the “Take it easy” Tool Finder system on the market.
Colours and numbers
The user literally has “everything to hand” with this compact tool! Besides the telescopic blade, there are six bits inside to deal with the most typical applications scenarios. A slight push on the green cap at the end of the grip will open-up the handle to enable the bits to be removed and then replaced once again in the envisaged position after usage. To allow a more rapid differentiation, the designers at Wera have provided the bits with the “take it easy” Tool Finder system. This innovative tool finder is pure pleasure for the user since the right bit is always to hand immediately. Sleeves coloured according to profile make finding the right drive easier. In this respect, for instance, the colour red stands for a Philipps or PH drive. A size dimension, which is additionally stamped on, enables easy differentiation within the profile itself allowing the bit to be found even more quickly and easily.
Inner values count
In the case of the compact tool, it is the inner values that are decisive: there is a retractable telescopic blade in the ergonomic Kraftform handle which can be extended when the locking ring is depressed. The tool can then be used as a fully-fledged screwdriver for manual operations. When the blade is retracted, screwdriving can even be performed in extremely confined working situations. Moreover, it can be entirely removed so as to then act as a power tool adaptor. The tip of the blade is equipped with a bit holder with the so-called Rapidaptor technology, an aspect that enables rapid bit changes. Further, the free-turning sleeve allows the tool and screw to be guided and steadied in power tool operations.
The Kraftform Kompakt Tool Finder is housed in a lightweight and robust textile box that can also be attached to the belt of the workwear. The practical compact tool is therefore an ideal companion for the professional, particularly in mobile applications.
