Review for Wiha VDE 6 Piece Bit Holding Screwdriver by Centrica
30th May 2023

I absolutely love my wiha 6 piece holding screwdriver. As well as being VDE the disposing bit mechanism on the end is a great feature, a squeeze of both buttons and they all spread out making them easy to chose what one you need. Bits are easily locked on by pushing the locking mechanism on the end. Fantastic screwdriver if you don’t want to carry round a full set.

The perfect tool to have in your pocket! Rather then carrying 6 screwdrivers around use this compact. You won't regret it. Although tad expensive

When I bought this item one of the little latches came off. Have not been able to use it without opening ever since. Other then this really like this tool. Just a quick one to grab and use. Wish they had come up with a more sturdy design.

Definitely bought as a gimmick but now sits in my pocket day after day, even though it’s just a tad too long, the length makes a little unbalanced and the locking mechanism gets really tight when it gets dust in it so I tend to clean it with a ptfe spray , silicon spray can be a bit gunky. Great tool, please make a shorter version

Brilliant bit of kit, and a screwdriver too. I bought one of these, thinking it was a gimmick, when it was on a super offer on Ebay, and I had a £10 Nectar voucher which made it cheap as chips.

To be honest, I bought it for the six slimbits inside to add to my slim vario & stubby drivers (at the price I paid they were a bargain).

BUT, the screwdriver itself turnd out to be a really quality tool, as well as carrying around thevsix useful slimbits.

So, apologies to Wiha for doubting them.

Best screwdriver I have owned . Thought it was a bit gimmicky when I first brought one , now it's what I use 99% of the time. The large handle is comfortable to use and causes me less pain with my arthritis with long use.

Usually a wiha fan but this screwdriver set is one of the worst bit of wiha Kits I've owned. Started off okay but after a very few uses the spring mechanism starting sticking and after a few more uses I had to pull it out everytime I wanted to change the bit. Poor.

I really like Wiha tools but this one unfortunately is very poor. The retaining clips that hold the end on broke on my original one and as there's a very tiny plastic ball which the hinge pivots on it was lost which meant the end wouldn't stay inserted into the driver I was given a replacement one and unfortunately this one wasn't much better the clip broke within a month of very light use again the end just pops up when you're trying to use it. Very disappointed!!

I’m usually a Wiha fan, however this has let me down a little. While if it worked it would be fantastic I think they’ve dropped the ball on build quality. The pop up function was stiff from the start and I didn’t get the extension it needed to pull the bits. After a short while I realised the bit holder moves slightly and this causes drag. Anyway moving on from that I’ve now discovered that when operating the spring function it now doesn’t stop the bit holder and essentially it flies off the shaft so basically splits into two.

I feel now mine has been faulty from purchase and as I’ve brought it though the Wiha tool club when it was open to everyone I am not sure how to go about getting a replacement.

Great little tool, stays in my pocket most days and very quick and easy to change the bits, haven’t had any issues with the pop up mechanism yet so that is also a good sign, had it for around 6 months still going strong

I personally don’t have one but I’ve used a plumbers one a couple of times when I was changing over a stat.

The smaller stumped driver parts made it easier to get into the smaller screws and the bit holder in the handle
Is nice. Only issue was it wasn’t closing properly and popped open a few times while using.

It’s a lot of money for such a small thing, would I buy one, not sure but if it was cheaper, I would.

This came in the small set I got from the wiha pro club group . I wanted one for a while so was pleased when it came in the set .the handle is a bit big but after a day or two i have got use to it now and it's great to have an assorted number of screwdriver ends in the handle

I bought this product because I saw a mate of mine had one and thought it looked a good idea. However after maybe 6 months the yellow bit holders did break and you find yourself losing the different bits. I personally wouldn’t waste your money on it because of this reason and let’s face it the only reason your using it is out of laziness.

A great utility tool with a few downsides. My first one broke within a week , with only light use (spring part which houses driver bits managed to come completely out). Senates spoke to wiha who said replace it immediately so great customer service. The little clips inside the driver handle which hold the heads are also prone to coming loose. If you want a one tool does all then this is great. Especially handy if your carrying a hand tool kit on public transport or for nipping into jobs as it drastically cuts down the weight of the bag compared to a full set of drivers.

Great tool and all you need when up a ladder with only one spare hand.
Be aware though that the individual holders for the driver bits do get old and break over time.
Tell the apprentice to “pull” the bit out and not “twist” it out of the storage compartment as it will break instantly.

I’ve got one of these to keep in my pocket as a go to tool, when I first got and used it one of the latches popped off and a little ball flew into another universe, I managed to put it back together then I found when pulling the blades out the retainers would also come out, I contacted Wiha through the pro club and the sent me a new body, since then it’s worked a treat, it’s a great set!

Very good quality but only lasted one drop unfortunately, tips and general build quality is good and lasted me over a year of quite heavy useVery ergonomic, handy size, however i do wish you kept the magnetic design instead of the click in design as its easy to to knock the holderDoes what it needs to do and is a very handy size to hold multiple screwdriversIts always nicer if things could be cheaper but for £30-40 range its very fair pricing as most sets would cost you around that anyway

Ergonomic grip plus they’ve lasted longer than my back up set I bought after them!Very simple to use, makes light work, does exactly what it says it does.Not a huge amount of features but IT JUST WORKS. They are built to last and stand getting bashed about in cavities, lofts, up ladders or ductingNot the cheapest, not the most expensive but I am a firm believer in getting what you pay for. Certainly top quality without top price

it's a great idea, but as soon as the carrier broke inside I couldn't store the bits so was stuck with one bulky screw driver not being able to change the head on it

Great product! Only flaw is the clips retaining the driver blades. Dropped once and a securing clip flew off (small spring not to be found). Could be improved with a screw top instead, like a drink bottle

The concept of this screwdriver is brilliant, ideal for inspection and testing everything you need in one place, not too heavy and a decent size once you get used to the bigger handle.

But build quality isn’t great, which for wiha is a shame and unusual, the clip that hold the lid down wears quickly meaning the top keeps coming undone, the holders for the bits come loose and end up falling out too, I’m now on my third

Overall it’s a good screwdriver but the quality of the moving parts needs some work.

Bought this product couple months back because I wanted to minimise my tools in my tool bag and thought see how it does and I’m very surprised on how well the quality of it is and I leave it in my work pants all the time, great product for the money

This is Mackie, as you know, I've already reviewed this. And whilst I like it, it's not a patch on its big brother, which is this. This spins just like this, just a little bit wider, similar and a little bit longer there. Have your finger at the top here, you just watch this. Look at this, spins around. You ready? Look at that. Get it. Look at that. So you can slide the bits that you want in there. Now, I've had this probably about 18 months, if I'm honest, I broke it. So it should have a clip like this, should have it here. And you ready? You should in there, there's a bit missing, broken off it.

There should be another place to hold it. I am a bit rough with me tools. It's probably built for some pansy electrician. Maybe you need to toughen it up a bit first, guys, for us heating engineers. So that's just a quick video. Hope you've had a good week and earned loads of money, guys. I'll be seeing you. Catch you later.
