EXCLUSIVE: - WIHA SPEEDE II - electricians electric screwdriver - now with more torque!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- Our first run-in with the Wiha SpeedE electric screwdriver left us underwhelmed; now it's back as Wiha SpeedE II. The boffins back at Wiha HQ, in Germany, have listened and added more torque, speed and light!
Joe Robinson peels back the packaging for a closer look.
The new feature of two torque settings (0.4Nm and 1.0Nm) mean this electricians tool will be useful in more applications.
The SpeedE range is designed to help reduce repetitive strain injuries making it ideal for electricians completing multiple connections in rapid succession - e.g control panel wiring to DIN rail terminals.

More of a trophy screwdriver then one actually needed for your tool kit I imagine.
Not needed, but a luxury. And if you work as a electrician every day, you are investing in yourself. Less stress, less frustration, less stress in wrist. Less stress in shoulder/back
If you never told me that was the box it came in I would of never of known wow thanks for clearing that up
Good Video Joe , I am sure you will like using the latest speedE ll from wiha , just to mention the LED lights flicker when the batteries are at 20% of charge , also you will note as a safety feature when you move the switch from 0.4 Nm to 1Nm and turn the motor on the lights flicker slightly to warn you that you have the higher torque switches on so you don’t do any damage to small terminals, hope this helps
This is crap.
Iam using Bosch-Professional 12 volt with Torqe 1,2 - 6,0 mkp with Light inside, with sechskant tools
@@erwinabelmann hope it has VDE 1000v protected bits not sure crap is the correct use of language,
Are they not available in the Uk yet? I’ve searched and I need one. The first model had an issue with the O ring the holds the bit in, do you know if this has been modified?
I thought that looks pretty great, will get one of them. Googled it. Seen the price. F me that is an absolute joke of a price.
and they only include 2 bits 🤣🤣🤣
How much ??
I had the same reaction, I hope that's just the price in the US, otherwise it's a ridiculous ripoff.
There's nothing special about it over many other models w/same specs in the $20-$50 range.
Don't try mate it's just wasting money send once getting gearbox issues they are send me another after 2 months getting same issue not happy at all
Let’s do a head to head can’t wait. I already have mine on order from Germany using a German supplier but wiha have had issues in supplying it’s been nearly 2.5 months of waiting. I don’t need to carry so many screwdrivers it lightens what you carry. Also the repetitive strain is reduced. Moreover doing up screws is a boon I would have liked an insulated magnetic tip holder attachment that would allow easier holding off screws. Don’t you hate when you drop screws half way up a ladder!!!When you do the review it’s not just about tightening but also about how fast you can loosen screws especially in sockets when you have longer screws and box fill of conductors is pushing against the direction of loosening making it harder to loosen. So please do both tightening and loosening tests.
Is’nt the bits magnetic?
Could the flashing led be to indicate low battery charge?
I'd like to see the 10KV testing video of that handle 😁
What number size is the lithium battery? Thanks for the review!
Nice looking screwdriver 👍
I need a small electric screwdriver for wall plates I can put in my tool belt. How much does it weigh compared to the first? I can only find online that it weighs 2 lbs. If that is true it is just too heavy where every ounce matters
I have the Dewalt gyro screwdriver and its awesome . I do like the look of this though esecially if its VDE.
Regarding the flashing led’s. I have a Makita DF012D which flashes the led when the batteries are getting low.
So it’s probably the same feature.
Very interesting product, but I couldn't find it available for purchase!
Does it take 1/4” bits?
Nice bit overpriced luxury,
Personally I think the handife is a better choice, got mine a couple of weeks ago and I can’t fault it I love , it’s ideal for faceplate screws and fixing ceiling rose to the ceiling as well as fitting back box’s. The speedy i or two I like the look of but would I buy one know I would not . And how many people will keep it in that silly fancy box not many , it will go in the toolbag / toolbox with all the other screwdrivers . Fantastic video as always Joe
👍👍❤️
The bit heads are quite short and the handle a bit big, so difficult to manoeuvre in hard to reach places.
If you're going to have a race I think the advantage will go to whomever doesn't have the Speede II, as the other person will be having to deal with the psychological trauma of having parted with more than 200 quid for a screwdriver!!
😪😪😪
Have they still got that the really cheap rubber band for holding in the driver bits.... That comes out when you change the bit?
I'm still waiting to hear back from Wiha, nearly a year... Their customer service in the UK is rubbish.
Hi Sir
Can I Perches any instrument from you?
Thanks
So, what is this spoonE attachment I observed? ;) Greetings from the USA.
We think Wiha should expand the range of accessories:-)
Joe: So just be careful pointing at your eyes.
Joe 5 seconds before: Pointing at 1.3M pair of eyes. 😂😂
But the video is very well made. An early flash warning will be helpful in future.
Answer this question for me if you know?why in england dutch germany we use curve b and in france italy we use curve c,What is the use of the 1p + n circuit breaker,
and why monopolar circuit breakers are used in some countries and in others 1p + n?
Maybe make some videos about these topics
Can you use a nut driver bit with it?
Yes they have an adaptor
As a tool creep I really want to like the speed e (1/2) but could never justify the price for something I’d be too scared to lose or abuse daily.
There needs to be more hype about the Wera Turbo.
Battery free, Costs a fraction of this and is a normal usable screwdriver until you turn it on.
Great informative video regardless and still some very cool kit.
Nerd rant over. 🤘🏻
I did not know about the Wera Turbo! Very interesting product, thanks for commenting! Though I think I would prefer the motor drive. (I have the Miniware ES121 which is awesome, but have not tried the Weha speedE nor the Wera Turbo)
Oh dear, Wera Turbo and Wiha SpeedE are competitors my friend XD
I tried one of those cheap chinesium screwdrivers (WowStick 1F+), and the thing broke real quick.. they're just too fragile.
@@patrickobrien6648 It's not really in the same category of products. The Wera Turbo has no motor. The ES121 is pretty sturdy for a 4mm bit holder
I'm late to the party but I have a Wera turbo and don't find its party trick very useful - it's a brilliant and very well-made screwdriver in itself, but I'm yet to find a situation where I want the extra speed AND the torque required is low enough to allow use of the geared mode.
I have a serious Wera addiction too, so I really wanted to love it.
i use my wera turbo for socket faceplate screws and consumer unit face plate screws. where there is little resistance. gets screws in or out without the tedium.
We will see Joe 🤔...
What does it do?
I appreciate the review and I was not aware of this tool, so thanks for the video. I have a suggestion for you to improve the video quality. Please right a script, or at least reshoot segments if you feel they’re too wordy. There was a period there from about 5:40 to 6:15 where you basically said nothing. It was devoid of any information beyond “let’s look at the technical specs and see what’s new”, but you said that multiple times in like 100 words instead of 10. Makes people turn off the video
Thanks for the feedback
Im getting one 😁👌
How is it?
I have this now unfortunately the quality of gearbox isn't as i expected. Gearbox getting faults after2 months use
Isn’t Gaz the one that loves SpeedE 😂
what about the health issues, won't it help your joints?
Definitely does
I hear Gary singing Shania twain that don't impress me mucus 🤣🤣🤣🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Powertools are not for speed the are for not wearing your body out doing up hunderds of fasteners.
Shhhh! ... electricians have a bad enough name for being the softest trade without argueing that doing up terminal screws wears your body out!
Informative video, BTW the correct pronunciation of WIHA is "V-HA"
Bore off
Now you've got the 2 can I have the original?
I think Gaz wants it to stir his tea with 🤣
@@efixx Ive now got the new speede 2 with a red or yellow spoon attachment depending on how much stirring stuff needs stuck in my head 😅
AD 🧰 Check price and availability
hub.efixx.co.uk/wiha-speede2
**WARNING** - Don't confuse SpeedE set 2 with the SpeedE 2
Only 2 bits
I was liking this, i thought nice packaging, then i thought that comes in a nice case, then you opened the box, a bit of a let down with only 2 screwdrive bits, for this price i would expect a lot more than 2! well overpriced for what you get.
I suspect this is targeted towards electricians who already have a full set of Wiha insulated driver tips, so including only the two tips needed to make it minimally functional is more than appropriate.
I can see the new race... Speed-e 2 vs rapid Gaz
LocoSajoca come on Rapid Gaz 😉
@@GSHElectrical I will have to back you Gary. In the light of the sports starting back from next week... English vs German... You can do it 👍
Just ordering the parts - 50 core YY cable!
@@efixx 🤣🤣🤣
👍
Looks good but who would really spend that sort of dosh. The Bosch pushdrive is expensive but you could buy 3 and have dosh left over for that price.😳
FFS test it!!
Check out the speede 2 race in this video - th-cam.com/video/jNYLz9AaUe0/w-d-xo.html - 14:00 min onwards
Nah not having it. Pure gimick.
Video not complete without testing
You right - check out the speede 2 race in this video - th-cam.com/video/jNYLz9AaUe0/w-d-xo.html
It's a nice bit of gear, but it's ridiculously expensive.
Looks like this is made by IRON MAN
We sparks seem to have completely forgotten about Stanley pump screwdrivers they were the dogs bollocks for speed when 2nd fixing housed I reckon pump driver would easily beat any electric driver?
We remember them - do they still make them?
@@efixx I still have mine doesn't get as much use as it used to though now we have cordless drivers
The Stanley Yankee - yeah you're right they were great, I could pommel screws into the wall all day long, no batteries, no fuss? Have we really moved forward? Think of all the needless waste of plastic and lithium.
How can get in Pakistan?
Please
It's order direct from Wiha website atm for all shipments
I've got a 12v Bosch impact which is perfect for this type of thing, I certainly would buy this, more of an expensive gimmick.
😑
Hope it’s adjustable in torque/speed or you have good awareness of your finger.. so easy to destroy screws with it.. you might not even notice
1000 volt really🤪 scrap
I use the Bosch Professional 12 volt Screwdriver with 12 torqe points o,5 - 6,5 mkp
here's our Bosch Go 2 review - th-cam.com/video/BPL1mn4ih9o/w-d-xo.html
Cost 😥
If I bought it and lost it ,I would probably cry, but I would have a nice box.
We’ve noticed lots of kit coming in L-Boxx so you could end up with a few!
Nice review. Wouldn't buy one. Perhaps the flashing light indicates low battery charge.
👍👍👍👍
I'm a sucker for losing screwdrivers though
200 pounds for a screwdriver ?.
@R-77 no one's going to be buying chinese anymore 😐
@@HeathenGeek corona virus free🤣🤣🤣
4:45 it is German design, so plus goes in first more or less always.
you said exactly what it was designed for, repetitive work, then, like in the first review, you are talking about a race. In the real world there is no way you would be screwing up accessories like that for 8hrs, if you want speed you would use a small 10v or 12v driver.
Wiha, made in Bulgaria
If it doesn’t have variable torque it is just not a serious tool.
The price just blew me away, but I persevered, then I was informed that this driver does not accept 1/4" bits? WHAT ? Well, that's the end of that then. Was a close one, I nearly brought a v expensive paper weight. Why did you not say anything? Thx but no thx.
If you use other products from the Wiha Slim vario range it lessens the pain.
That big ass box and you only get 2 tips. What happens if it doesn’t fit the screw, this should come with a hole set of different tips.
The slim vario range has hundreds of tip options to buy.
Due to the ridiculous price, not many sparks would splash out on a kids toy
what about one of these - th-cam.com/video/BPL1mn4ih9o/w-d-xo.html
They spent more time thinking about the case than they spent on engineering a screwdriver that would be even the slightest bit useful in real world settings 🙇♂️. I like wiha products, but don't try to sugar coat such a useless piece of garbage. The best parts of this is the ring light and the packaging 😂.
Available in pakistan
Only available direct from Wiha in Germany at the moment - but they ship globally.
Would cost a third less if they didn't put it in that box, it would end up in a pocket in my toolbox, who would carry that box around all day on site?
to me its a bit like reinventing the wheel, new is not always best with more to go wrong
In my view this is an exceptionally expensive waste of money. It is just an electric screwdriver if you must have an electric screwdriver there are many cheaper and better options. The worst part of the design is the fact that it is a TWO handed operation to use it correctly. The other thing the elephant in the room is the crazy price. Do not be taken in, once it hits the bottom of the tool box you will not go looking for it, just like the other one you bought.
I’m just going to say now I’d never use a tool like this or any sort of torque screwdriver, totally pointless, sparkys have managed without them for years and will do so for years to come.

Good for you - 10mins of talking, and you never actually used the thing.
Pansonic screwdriver is far superior and cheaper
Pointless screwdriver it takes the fun out of being an electrician😂😂
You like to have pain in wrist when you get older?
Craftsman makes an even better electric screwdriver for a 1/5th of the price
Attention de la merde ce tournevis vraiment nul et trop fragile .
Vers bad 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
275 quid, I don't think I'll be spending my money on this gimmicky screwdriver 😕
Lots of talk. Get to the point already!
This was a really bad review
And your reasoning?
