Screwdriver Wera 1578 A ESD Micro for slotted screws 0.40 x 2.0 x 60 mm

Wera 1578 A ESD Micro slotted screwdriver with blade dimensions 0.40 x 2.0 x 60 mm is a precision tool intended for work on small slotted screws in electronics, precision assemblies and delicate maintenance tasks. The tool combines a slim shaft with an ergonomically shaped handle to provide accurate positioning and controlled torque in confined spaces. ESD-safe construction prevents electrostatic discharge that could damage sensitive components, making it suitable for ESD-protected workstations and repair benches.

Advantages

The screwdriver offers precise blade dimensions that fit small slotted heads closely, reducing the risk of cam-out and damage to screws. Its ESD-safe materials and design dissipate static charges to protect electronic parts. The slim shaft and comfortable grip enable stable handling in tight or recessed areas, while the hardened tip and durable shaft resist wear during repetitive use. The tool is lightweight and balanced for fine manual control.

Suitable for

• Repair and maintenance of electronic devices and PCBs
• Assembly and adjustment of precision instruments
• Work on connectors, switches and small mechanical parts
• Laboratory and clean-room ESD workstations

Key specifications

• Blade width × thickness × length: 0.40 × 2.0 × 60 mm
• Tip type: slotted (flathead)
• ESD-safe handle and shaft materials
• Slim round shaft for access to confined spaces
• Hardened tip for wear resistance
• Ergonomic handle for precise manual control

How to use

Select the screwdriver and align the blade with the slotted screw head so the tip seats fully in the slot. Apply gentle axial pressure and turn with steady, controlled motion to avoid slipping or stripping the screw. For work on electronic assemblies, ensure the workstation is ESD-protected and that you are following appropriate grounding procedures before contacting sensitive components. After use, store the screwdriver in a clean, dry place or in an instrument tray to protect the tip.

Usage recommendations

Use the Wera 1578 A ESD Micro for precision tasks where small slotted screws and ESD protection are required. Avoid applying excessive force or using the tool as a pry bar; if higher torque is needed, choose a larger screwdriver matched to the screw head. Keep tip surfaces clean and inspect for wear; replace the tool when tip deformation or rounding appears to maintain safe and accurate operation.
