Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom E165483 is a professional-grade flared slotted screwdriver engineered for mechanics and tradespeople who require precision and durability in their daily toolkit. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a high-strength chrome vanadium steel blade and an ergonomic bimaterial handle, which together minimize hand fatigue during repetitive or high-torque tasks. While it excels in mechanical environments, users should note that as a fixed-handle screwdriver, it is not suitable for applications requiring interchangeable bits or extreme reach.

FAQs
Does this screwdriver meet international standards?
Yes, it is manufactured in accordance with ISO 2380-1 and ISO 2380-2 standards.
What is the total length of the tool?
The total length of the E165483 is 227mm.
Can I use this for non-slotted screws?
No, the tip is specifically flared for slotted fasteners and will not engage correctly with Philips, Torx, or Hex heads.
Is the handle chemical resistant?
The bimaterial handle is designed for workshop environments and is resistant to common oils, greases, and many standard workshop solvents.
What material is the blade made of?
The blade is forged from high-quality chrome vanadium steel.
Why is the tip sand-blasted?
Sand-blasting creates a slightly textured surface that increases friction against the screw head, providing better torque transfer and reducing cam-out.
Troubleshooting
Tip slipping out of screw head
Ensure the screw slot is clean of debris. If slipping persists, check that the size of the screwdriver blade is an exact match for the fastener slot width.
Handle becomes slippery
Wipe the bimaterial handle with a mild degreaser and a cloth to remove built-up oil or shop chemicals that may affect the grip.
Surface rust appearing on blade
Use a fine abrasive pad to gently remove surface oxidation, then apply a light coating of machine oil to protect the chrome-plated surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade chrome vanadium steel construction
- Ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue
- Sand-blasted tip prevents cam-out and improves grip
- ISO compliant for professional reliability
- Corrosion-resistant chrome-plated finish
Cons
- Non-interchangeable fixed blade design
- Limited reach compared to long-pattern screwdrivers
- Specifically designed for flared slots, not cross-head fasteners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This screwdriver is ready to use immediately out of the package. Because the tool features a professional-grade chrome finish, maintenance is straightforward: wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth after use, particularly if it has been exposed to acidic or corrosive liquids. Store the tool in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the handle materials. While the blade is highly durable, it should not be used as a pry bar or a chisel, as this can compromise the precise geometry of the flared tip and void its performance standards.
