Wiha’s speedE® PocketDrive electric screwdriver, designed for universal screwdriving applications, has been awarded the German Design Award 2025 in gold.
Awarded by the German Design Council, the German Design Award is a prestigious award, the gold award only given to a maximum of two products in each category – a testament to the quality of the speedE® PocketDrive.
PocketDrive is the youngest member of Wiha’s speedE® family and combines sophisticated design with versatile functions. Its ergonomic shape with flat handle elements, which serve as practical anti-roll protection, enables comfortable handling – even in overhead applications or in confined spaces.
Two selectable material protection levels offer precise and powerful screw connections, while the LED ring illuminates the work area without shadows. A magnetic bit holder, including 30 bits, offers maximum flexibility for a wide variety of screwdriving tasks. Thanks to the USB-C interface, the battery can be charged quickly, meaning the PocketDrive is always ready for use. An integrated motor protection also means the tool can be used for manual screwdriving.
Sven Wilde, marketing manager at Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH, outlines: “This gold award is an extraordinary honour for the entire Wiha team. It reflects our commitment to developing tools that are functionally and visually impressive and that offer real benefits for users with their overall concept. The speedE® PocketDrive is the perfect example of how well thought-out design and practicality can go hand in hand. This recognition shows us that our innovative strength is valued on a broad level – from the jury to the users. This makes us proud and motivates us to continue working on solutions that make our customers’ everyday work easier.”
