The unique RW Drive System

Developing optimal and innovative solutions for our customers’ requirements has always been our focus. As Prof. Reinhold Würth, founder and today’s Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Wurth Group, strongly believes “We are our customers’ employees”. This attitude was also in mind when the previous AW Drive was engineered many years ago. Combining the advantages of both, Phillips Drive (PH) and Torx Drive (TX), it was the most prestigious drive solution available in the market.

With continuous research and development, combined with the close collaboration with our customers, the previous AW drive solution could be further optimised. The newly designed RW Drive was born – ensuring an even better performance than ever before!

RW Drive vs. Common Drive Types | RW = AW + PH + TX

Compared to other common drive types, the RW Drive has more contact points inside the screw head. This ensures easy and effortless screwing. No contact pressure is required, which demonstrates the excellent assembly performance. Moreover, the special drive design avoids damaging the screw coating.
Compared to the AW Drive, the newly designed RW Drive requires fewer bit changes but offers more power and increases performance.

RW Drive - Higher Performance
Reinhold Wurth Drive (RW)

Combining the advantages of:

✓ Adolf Wurth Drive (AW)
✓ Phillips Drive (PH)
✓ Torx Drive (TX)

Optimised for:

  • Fewer bit changes, one bit for many screw diameters
  • More power due to larger contact area at the bit
  • More stability, one-handed working, precise positioning due to the tight-fit recess and perfect fit of the bit
  • Higher performance
  • Compatibility with previous AW drive

RW Drive in Detail – Fewer bit changes, more power, higher performance!

RW Drive - Fewer Bit Changes
Fewer Bit Changes

One bit for many screw diameters:
RW 20 Drive for screws from 3.5 to 5 mm in diameter. RW 40 for all dimensions from 5 to 10 mm in diameter. In practice, this means: Joiners and carpenters can use a single bit for a wide range of applications. More Details ...

RW Drive & the unique ASSY®4 Screw

The development of the RW Drive was part of the optimisation process of the Wurth ASSY® Timber Screw. Besides the enhanced drive, the new ASSY®4 generation received various feature improvements. Learn more about the ASSY®4

RW Drive – Voices & Opinions

Fabian Tuscher, Master Craftsman

The customer says:

“The bit safely and securely holds smaller screws and they enter the surface even more easily and smoothly. This way, driving screws with just one hand is not a problem any more. A clear improvement over the existing drive.”

Fabian Tuschet, Master Craftsman

Andreas Wunderlich, Graduate Engineer (FH)

The engineer says:

“The tapered RW bit and deeply recessed drive result in a perfect fit of the bit in the screw head, virtually without any wobbling. The solid grip allows you to position the screw with just one hand and also leads to a tight-fit effect that does not require magnetic bit holders for screws of up to 5.0 mm in diameter. The larger wing area means maximum power transmission, fewer different bit sizes for the overall screw range and a longer service life of the bit.”
