Wiha’s award-winning Inomic hinged pliers are angled at 23°, making them a natural
extension of the user’s arm and hand movements. This eliminates the wrist bending
associated with conventional straight pliers, encouraging fatigue-free operation.

As well, applied force is less likely to be misdirected and the parallel movement enables
the user to hold the pliers with one hand over their entire leg-opening range.

The Inomic pliers have earned various European awards for successful innovation and
functional product design for German-based Wiha, a world leader in the production of
high-quality, professional hand tools.

A new Wiha single-handed bit box, described as a smart solution for any craftsman who
has only one free hand but needs to change bits, will also be on display at NMW 2008.
This product has won the iF product design award 2008.

Wiha’s display will also feature innovations in tweezers, screwdrivers, measuring and
torque tools as well as offset drivers. Wiha’s wide product range encompasses
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and applications where insulated tools are required (VDE
tools).
