Screwdriver Wera 1578 A ESD Micro 0.80 x 4.0 x 80 mm, precision insulated shaft

The Wera 1578 A ESD Micro 0.80 x 4.0 x 80 mm precision insulated shaft screwdriver is a compact hand tool designed for tasks on delicate electronic assemblies and confined workspaces. It features a 0.80 mm tip with a 4.0 mm blade width and an 80 mm shaft length, combining precision shaping with an insulated shaft to reduce risk during sensitive electronic operations. The tool is built for electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe use, allowing controlled handling of circuit boards, connectors and miniature fasteners without introducing static-related damage.

Advantages

The screwdriver's micro tip and narrow blade provide accurate engagement with small screws and components, minimizing slippage and damage to fastener heads. The insulated shaft offers additional protection in environments where electrical isolation and operator safety are important. ESD-safe properties help prevent static buildup and discharge that could harm sensitive electronic parts. Compact dimensions and ergonomic balance enable precise manoeuvring in restricted spaces such as enclosures and PCB assemblies.

Suitable for

• Repair and assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs)
• Work on mobile devices, laptops and small consumer electronics
• Precision mechanical assemblies and adjustment tasks
• Laboratory and production environments requiring ESD control

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.80 mm
• Blade width: 4.0 mm
• Shaft length: 80 mm
• Precision insulated shaft for electrical isolation
• ESD-safe construction to limit electrostatic discharge
• Compact form factor for access in confined spaces

How to use

Select the Wera 1578 A ESD Micro screwdriver when working with small slotted screws or when fine positional control is required. Hold the handle firmly and align the 0.80 mm tip with the screw head, applying steady axial pressure while turning to avoid cam-out. Use gentle torque appropriate to the fastener and material to prevent stripping. For ESD-sensitive assemblies, combine the tool with grounded wrist straps or mats as part of an overall static control procedure and avoid touching conductive PCB traces with bare fingers while handling components.

Usage recommendations

Store the screwdriver in a clean, dry place when not in use and inspect the tip for wear before precision tasks. Use only on compatible slotted fasteners of matching size and avoid excessive torque. When working with electrostatic-sensitive devices, integrate the tool into an ESD-safe workstation and follow established ESD handling guidelines to ensure component protection.
