Product Information
Full details
The Supatool Slotted Stubby Screwdriver is an essential tool for mechanics, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work in cramped engine bays, tight cabinetry, or small electronic housings. Its primary benefit is providing high torque in spaces where standard-length screwdrivers simply cannot fit; however, it is important to note that its short handle design offers less leverage compared to full-sized drivers, making it unsuitable for driving long screws into dense, un-drilled hardwoods.

FAQs
Can this be used on Phillips head screws?
No, this is a dedicated slotted screwdriver and will likely damage a Phillips head screw.
What is the total length of the tool?
The shaft length is 38mm, with an additional length for the handle.
Is the tip magnetic?
The product information does not specify magnetic properties; assume it is non-magnetic.
What material is the shaft made of?
It is made of hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel.
Can I use this for heavy-duty construction?
It is designed for precision and tight-space work; for heavy-duty structural driving, a full-length screwdriver is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The screwdriver slips out of the screw head.
Ensure the 6mm tip is the correct fit for the screw. Apply more downward pressure with your palm while turning.
Surface rust appears on the shaft.
Use a light machine oil and a fine scouring pad to remove the rust, then wipe clean and store in a low-humidity area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This screwdriver requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. It is compatible with all standard 6mm slotted screws. To maintain the integrity of the tool, wipe the shaft with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grease or metallic shavings. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion. Avoid using this screwdriver as a makeshift pry bar or chisel, as the hardened tip can become brittle and fracture under extreme lateral force.
