Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of screws are included in this set?

The set includes Slotted, Phillips (#1 and #2), and TRX-Star* (T10, T15, T20, T25) screwdriver types.

Are these screwdrivers suitable for heavy-duty applications?

Constructed from extra-strong Chrome Vanadium steel, they are robust for general professional and demanding DIY use. However, for extremely heavy-duty or impact applications, specialized impact screwdrivers might be more appropriate.

How do I identify the different screwdriver sizes quickly?

The handles are color-coded, and each size is also clearly marked on the shaft or handle for easy identification.

Does the set come with a storage case?

This specific set does not include a dedicated storage case or rack. Screwdrivers are typically supplied loose.

What is the material of the screwdriver shafts?

The shafts are made from extra-strong Chrome Vanadium steel with a satin finish.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear under intended use. It does not usually cover damage from misuse or abuse.

Can I use these TRX-Star* screwdrivers on Torx screws?

Yes, TRX-Star* is Sealey's designation for Torx-compatible fasteners, so these should work with standard Torx screws of the corresponding size.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip not gripping screw head securely

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of screwdriver for the screw. Check if the screw head is damaged. Clean the screwdriver tip and screw head to remove any debris. For worn screws or driver tips, consider replacement.

Screwdriver slipping during use

Verify that the soft-grip handle is dry and free from oil or grease. Ensure firm, consistent pressure is applied to the handle. If the screw head is stripped, the screwdriver may not be able to grip it effectively.

Magnet on the tip feels weak

The magnetisation can weaken over time with heavy use or exposure to extreme heat. Clean the tip thoroughly; sometimes, dirt can interfere with magnetic strength. While the magnetisation is inherent, heavy wear on the tip might affect its ability to hold screws.

Rust spots on the screwdriver shaft

Light rust can often be removed with a fine-grade steel wool or a polishing compound. Ensure the screwdriver is dried thoroughly after cleaning and stored in a dry place to prevent further rusting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable Chrome Vanadium steel construction ensures long-term reliability.
  • Magnetised tips simplify screw handling and prevent drops.
  • Soft-grip handles offer superior comfort and control during prolonged use.
  • Color-coding aids in rapid identification of the correct screwdriver.
  • Includes specialized TRX-Star* bits for a wider range of applications.
  • Backed by a lifetime guarantee for peace of mind.

Cons

  • TRX-Star* bits are specialized and may not be required for basic tasks.
  • The set does not include a storage case or rack, requiring separate organization.
  • Screwdriver lengths are fixed; no extendable or interchangeable shafts are provided.
  • May be heavier than plastic-handled alternatives due to robust steel construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This set requires no initial setup. Screwdrivers are ready for immediate use upon unpacking.

Compatibility: The Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers are compatible with standard Slotted and Phillips screws. The TRX-Star* bits are designed for Torx-compatible fasteners (often referred to as Torx, but specified as TRX-Star* by Sealey).

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the shafts and tips clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Avoid harsh solvents.
  2. Storage: Store the screwdrivers in a dry environment, ideally in a toolbox or a dedicated screwdriver rack, to prevent damage and rust.
  3. Tip Care: Avoid using the screwdrivers for tasks they are not designed for (e.g., prying) to preserve the magnetisation and integrity of the tips.
