Eduard Wille, the founder of the company, had a dream and made it reality – and his sons and grandchildren continued the tradition. His aim was to produce nothing but the best and manufacture the best conceivable tool quality. Well before others made the link, Eduard Wille realised that this can not be achieved with good ideas alone – a good team of workers is essential. It was for this reason that he invested so much in innovation, quality and people – and STAHLWILLE continues...

It‘s the details that make the difference. A company making tools to uncompromising standards of accuracy has to keep a watchful eye on every detail of its development and production processes. Broaching tools used by STAHLWILLE produce the profiles for jaws and rings to within extremely tight tolerance ranges because they are so frequently checked. With a 22 mm open-jaw spanner, for example, the minimum dimension is 22.06 mm and the maximum is 22.36 mm. Leaving a tolerance range of only 0.3 mm. Which is why STAHLWILLE open-jaw and ring spanners fit so snugly over nuts and bolts to ensure safe...

0.3 MILLIMETRES PRECISION WORKS Safely apply every ounce of strength. Thanks to their slim heads, thin-walled rings and jaws, combination spanners from STAHLWILLE enable the end user to work effectively and accurately even in confined spaces. The double-T profile used here is found exclusively in STAHLWILLE tools. This principle is well-known in steel construction It‘s the details that make the difference.

Safety first: an indispensable factor in air travel. 3.5 billion passengers boarded aeroplanes worldwide in 2015. All of them flew with airlines that rely daily on STAHLWILLE - because it would be difficult to find an airline who does not utilize a STAHLWILLE tool. In fact, many have opted for all-round tool solutions from STAHLWILLE for such critical fields as turbine maintenance. Turbines: more than just an engine. No part of an aeroplane contains more safety-critical bolted joints than the turbines. Their inner workings are extremely complex and have to withstand intense vibrations, high flow...

The energy sector: power connects. Right from the production stage of wind turbines, STAHLWILLE supplies bespoke tools, developed jointly with turbine manufacturers. STAHLWILLE has developed torque wrenches, for example, programmed with customer-specific firmware and pre-configured joints. They guide the workers in the production facilities through the assembly process – fastener after fastener is tightened in compliance with this on-board checklist. And as if that were not enough: power generators have to keep their equipment running more or less round the clock. As a result, maintenance has...
