Screwdrivers/Pliers & DIY


Decorating and DIY Tools In these difficult economic times with uncertainty in the housing market many are making the decision to stay put and increase the market value of their house by making improvements. “Don’t move, improve!” Ways to increase the value of your home range from giving it a fresh coat of paint to building extensions and adding extra rooms. Kitchens and bathrooms are important to keep looking modern and fresh. Adding a conservatory or loft conversion are good financial investments and it is important not to forget the outside of the house by keeping up the maintenance of the fabric of the building and the garden. Whether you choose to employ a professional or do-it-yourself, it is always important to have the right tools for the job. Of course the DIY market place is continually providing good quality tools


and equipment and introducing new ideas to the consumer. It is fast moving and always changing. As well as reading about new products in the pages of this magazine, the Totally 2012 Show which covers DIY, Tools and Security is fast approaching and is a chance for retailers to view the latest products from leading manufacturers and suppliers.

With Wiha SlimFix Up to 33 per cent narrower than standard insulated tools the Wiha SlimVario and SlimFix screwdrivers, available from Hyde in the UK, are perfect for ensuring that screws are tightened securely in even the most awkard of spaces. Featuring Wiha’s innovative integrated insulation technology, the SlimVario


screwdriver offers peace of mind when working on electrical projects, with unrivalled protection up to 1,000 V AC. Unlike many VDE screwdrivers, the built- in insulation does not obstruct or prevent the blade reaching hard to reach screws. Instead the protective insulation is simply sprayed directly on to the end of the blade, so it stays super-slim and makes even the trickiest of fastening positions easily accessible. For maximum efficiency on site, the Wiha 16-piece SlimVario Screwdriver


Wallet Set makes interchanging blades a quick and simple process, making it suitable for use for a multitude of tasks. A quick-release bit holder to accomodate the blades is integrated into the handle and also features a free-spin sleeve for speedy operation. Alongside the bit holder, the 16-piece set also comprises a 3mm Slotted


Voltage Tester and Torx, Pozi,Phillips and slotted blades in a wide range of sizes. Also available from Hyde and featuring the same slimTechnology and high


standardsof quality and reliability as the SlimVario is Wiha’s SlimFix screwdriver, which is available in a single, two-piece orsix piece set. Both screwdrivers feature an ergonomically designed handle to ensure a comfortable grip regardless of how many screws need fastening, while the roll-off protection means it won’t roll away when it is put down.
