FAQs
What size bits does this screwdriver accept?

Does it come with any bits?
The product information indicates it comes with '1 pc(s)' of bits, typically a single driver bit.
How does the Kraftform Plus handle help?

What is the overall length of the screwdriver?

Can I use this for very high torque applications?
The soft zones of the handle are designed for high torque transfer, but for extremely demanding torque applications, a dedicated torque wrench or a heavier-duty tool might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting
Bit not holding securely
Ensure you are using a 1/4" external hexagon drive bit that is fully inserted. Clean the magnetic bit holder of any debris that might be preventing a secure connection.
Handle feels uncomfortable during use
Verify you are using the correct grip. The Kraftform handle is designed with specific zones for speed and torque; ensure your hand placement aligns with these intended uses.
Difficulty driving screws in tight spaces
The 78 mm length is designed for accessibility. For extremely confined areas, consider using a shorter bit with the screwdriver or a different tool entirely.

Compatibility: This bitholding screwdriver is designed for bits with a 1/4" external hexagon drive.
