Electrical/Electronic Tools and Specialist VDE Products Wiha VDE DynamicJoint Pliers Are


Hot on the heels of the interesting article by Jimmy Cook in our ‘Voice of the Industry’ article last month, we have a feature on Electrical and Electronics Tools. Jimmy gave us a fascinating insight into the impact on the tool trade of the changes in the way our electricity supply has changed and developed. As the use of electricity has become safer, the possibilities of manipulation of electrical energy have become almost limitless. One definition of electronic is ‘Relating to electrical devices that


amplify and process electrical signals’. In the 1950s IBM developed a line of punch-card controlled tabulating machines, opening up the potential of electronic computing. Over the next few decades, as punch cards were replaced by keyboards, print-outs were replaced by monitors, and computers became smaller, cheaper, and more powerful, it was inevitable that electronic computational devices would become more widespread. Today, computers and the use of integrated circuits are an integral


part of nearly every facet of industry, medicine, science and communication and the tool industry has embraced this technology with enthusiasm. I was able to see this at first hand on a recent visit to GYS, a


company with their headquarters based in France, who manufacture welding machines and battery chargers. Their use of these technological changes has allowed them to invest in modern production capability and launch new and innovative products. Particularly impressive is their extensive range of electrode welding machines. The world of electronics is a fast moving one and has changed the


way our modern society functions. Innovation in electrical and electronic tools is constant and there is a multitude of products available to the consumer.
