I don’t think I ever heard you mention, But as far as Im aware all Wera ESD (yellow) handle version do not have a magnet in the bit holder. Where all Wera standard (green) handles have a magnet, in the bit holders.
Ah, that is a great point. Never thought about it but now that I do I think you are completlely correct. Makes sense to remove the magnetic field from ESD tools. Thanks for the comment!
Hi there. Normally you don`t want to have the ESD drivers to be magnetic. If you want to, you can (de)magnetize them with the Magnetizer: 9514 Magnet ESD SB, by Wera, or any other one. The Stubby ESD Bit-Holders are either magnetic (811/1 ESD Stubby), or non-magnetic (809/1 ESD Stubby). The normal ESD 816 R(apidaptor) and small 813 R ESD Bitholders, are definetly non-magnetic. The regular green Bit-holders like the 811/1, 812/1 and 813 are magnetic. The bit-holder 810/1 is unlike the 812/1, non-magnetic. The green 813 R and 816 R with the Rapidaptor chuck are magnetic, too. Mostly all green line regular drivers are magnetic when they are sold, but you can demagnetize them with the green 9500 Magnet SB (de)magnitizer. I hope that helped you. Greetings from Germany 🙂
@@bomamo9620, are you aware, what the difference between 1013 Kraftform Micro ESD and non-ESD version? Price is same for both (minor difference about 2%). If the only difference is ESD option for same price I don't see any logic to buy non-ESD.
I tried taking a quick measurement and didn't get any reading. It just reads it as an open circuit, via the handle. Might look into it more and try again.
Is there any drawback in using the ESD for everything anyway?
Nope, not at all. It just costs more!
@@ToolsnTeardownsthe yellow looks cool too.

Can you measure the resistance of the ESD version with a DMM?

@@ToolsnTeardowns It was just out of curiosity
