Product Information
Full details
The Stanley Cushion Grip Screwdriver Set (5-98-001) is designed for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-torque manual driving tool. The key benefit of this set is its ergonomic handle design and magnetic tips that provide superior control and efficiency during fastening tasks; however, users should note that the set is specialized for slotted and Pozi-drive screws, meaning it may not cover every drive type required for specialized equipment.

FAQs
Does this set include Phillips head screwdrivers?
No, this set specifically contains 4 slotted and 2 Pozi-drive screwdrivers.
Are the shafts impact-rated?
No, these are standard manual screwdrivers. They should not be used with power impact drivers or struck with a hammer.
How do I identify the size of the screwdriver without reading the label?
Check the icon-coded ends on the handles for quick visual identification.
Can I use these for electrical work?
While the steel is high quality, these handles are not VDE rated for high-voltage insulation. Use caution and standard safety protocols.
What is the benefit of the domed end?
The domed end allows the user to apply downward pressure with their palm comfortably, which helps keep the tip seated in the screw head.
Troubleshooting
Screw tip slipping out of fastener
Verify that you are using the correct size for the screw head; Pozi and Slotted drives have very specific fits.
Magnetic tip no longer holding screws
Clean the tip of any metallic debris or grime using a small brush; magnetic effectiveness can be reduced by metal shavings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are manual hand tools, there is no technical setup required. To maintain the integrity of the chrome plating and the magnetism of the tips, keep the tools dry and store them in a clean tool roll or drawer organizer. Avoid using these screwdrivers as pry bars or chisels, as excessive lateral force can bend the high-grade steel bars. If the shafts become greasy during use, wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth to ensure a secure grip during your next task.
