Screwdriver Wiha 284 12 PH1/PH2 with Magnetic Tip, PH1 and PH2 Sizes

Wiha 284 12 PH1/PH2 is a precision manual screwdriver designed for Phillips-head screws. The tool includes two interchangeable heads—PH1 and PH2—and a magnetic tip that improves screw retention during insertion and removal. The compact design and ergonomic handle support controlled torque application, making the screwdriver suitable for both professional technicians and DIY users working on electronic devices, furniture assembly, or general maintenance.

Advantages

The magnetic tip holds screws securely on the driver, reducing drops and speeding up single-handed operations. Interchangeable PH1 and PH2 heads allow quick adaptation to common Phillips fasteners without requiring multiple separate drivers. The handle is shaped to fit the hand comfortably and provides a reliable grip for accurate torque control and reduced slippage.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair where small Phillips screws are used
• Furniture assembly and tightening of household fixtures
• General maintenance and light mechanical repairs
• Hobby and DIY projects requiring precise screw placement

Key specifications

• Tip types: Phillips PH1 and PH2
• Magnetic tip for improved screw retention
• Interchangeable bit design for two tip sizes in a single tool
• Ergonomic handle for controlled torque and reduced hand fatigue
• Compact length suitable for confined working spaces

How to use

Select the required Phillips head (PH1 or PH2) and secure it in the driver according to the tool's interchangeable-bit mechanism. Position the magnetic tip onto the screw head to allow the magnet to hold the screw in place, then apply steady pressure while turning the handle clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. Use controlled force to avoid cam-out and ensure the correct alignment between the tip and screw recess.

Usage recommendations

Use the PH1 tip for smaller electronics screws and the PH2 tip for standard household fasteners. Keep the magnetic tip free from metallic debris and inspect the tip for wear; replace if the fit to screw heads becomes loose. For tasks requiring higher torque, consider a dedicated torque screwdriver to avoid damaging fasteners or the tool.
